The Omega Man was great! Also Soylent Green, even though it isn't on the list.

i never heard of When Time Ran Out before...

Here's a good review/retrospective on WHEN TIME RAN OUT from a blog I enjoy:

wow no wonder i never heard of this flick...

I remember going to see "Juggernaut" at the drive-in in the mid 70's. It was about a bomb on a luxury liner and I can't remember if it went off or not. Being a kid I think I was more interested in the sno-cone than the movie.

Thanks for reminding me about "Juggernaut" CDF Fan! A friend (now deceased) recommended it to me a couple of years ago. I put it in my Netflix queue, where it subsequently got lost in the shuffle. I just boosted it up to the top!

Speaking of ships again (like the Titanic, and the Poseidon), another film that comes to mind is "Goliath Awaits". While not really a disaster movie (it's more about the people still alive on the ship 40 years AFTER it sunk), and while not actually being from the 70s (aired in 1981), it still seems appropiate to mention it here. As it was a TV movie it seems kind of hard to find. I'm sure that those people online who sell rare TV movies would all have it though. Might have to look into that!

"Goliath Awaits" at IMDB:

What a cast: Christopher Lee AND John Carradine, Mark Harmon, Eddie Albert, Frank Gorshin...

Wasn't there a TV movie out around 1980 about a plane crash in the mountains and the passengers turning to cannibalism to stay alive? I think it was called Survive! or Stay Alive! or something like that. I'll have to check that disaster list for it.

SURVIVE! was based on the true story of a South American soccer team whose plane crashed in the Andes. It was made in Mexico and released by Paramount in 1976, and took an exploitation approach to the source material. The same story was filmed by Hollywood in the 90s as ALIVE, based on the book of the same name written by one of the survivors of the crash. I liked both for what they were.

And then there's YETI, a cheap straight-to-video monster flick from a year or so ago that takes this incident and asks the question, "What would plane crash survivors who must resort to cannibalism to survive do if faced with the additional problem of carnivorous Yetis?" I had fun with it, even though the occasional use of CGI Yetis looked horrendous.

That has to be the one I'm thinking of. If it was released in 1976, then it must have made its way on to the TV a few years later and I had mistaken it for a made-for-TV movie. Funny thing is I never really got to see Survive because it was one of "those" movies I was forbidden to watch at the time. Any time those dreaded "Viewer Discretion Advised" warnings were shown, I was told to leave the room. I distinctly remember having to get a peek of Helter Skelter at the doorway, and being yelled at when getting caught.

I'm pretty sure there was a full page picture in the TV Guide for Survive.
Thanks Mark!

I remember SURVIVE being show fairly often on USA Network in their early days, when they leaned more toward horror and exploitation films for the majority of their programming. I think I caught SURVIVE on either a weekday or Sunday afternoon, and was suitably disturbed by it.
