This film started the entire disaster genre, and you can finally watch it on Netflix

Airport, the 1970 disaster film responsible for creating not one but two major movie genres, is now available to watch on Netflix, along with two of its sequels. If you're of a certain age, you may remember that Airport was one of the biggest hits of its era, using its star-studded cast and (for the time) cutting-edge special effects to make over $100 million at the box office on a budget of just $10 million. If you're younger, you may never have heard of this movie, but you've probably heard of what it did.
