SPOILER MATERIAL INCLUDED

I just finished watching "Meteor" on tv. Despite a great cast (Sean Connery, Karl Malden, Natalie Wood and Henry Fonda) it was a cliche-ridden, predictable disaster movie (about a giant meteor taking aim at earth).

Made in 1979, I found two scenes almost "scary" to watch because of what later happened in real life.

1. The World Trade Center towers get blown away when a piece of the meteor hits NYC.

2. Natalie Wood almost drowns in a later scene.

The special effects are poor, as is the storyline, but its worth taking a look at if only for a few hours of escape.
