Leave your thoughts about The Towering Inferno.
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe fun of watching The Towering Inferno is in figuring out which old star Allen is going to indiscriminately kill off, as well as watching ultramodern décor go up in flames while a bunch of stubborn egotists refuse to listen to reasonable men. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellScared me as a kid. Bored me as an adult. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe Towering Inferno is one of the greatest disaster pictures made, a personal and professional triumph for producer Irwin Allen. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA Titanic tale of hubris...knot-in-the-stomach scary from the moment the fire gets out of control to the last-ditch heroics that come hours later. [Blu-ray] |
| New YorkerPauline KaelThe movie doesn’t stick together in one’s head; this thing is like some junky fairground show—a chamber of horrors with skeletons that jump up. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergFor pure disaster-time spectacle, the short list begins (and basically ends) with Poseidon and Inferno. They're time-capsule genre classics that just never get old. |
| EmpireAndrew CollinsMuch more than a way to pass a rainy bank holiday afternoon, this is rocking good superleague disaster adventure. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy far the best of the mid-1970s wave of disaster films. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonIn nearly every reasonable sense it’s the far more accomplished of the two famed Allen disaster epics. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThe story is stock, but thanks to the behind-the-scene fire wranglers, you can practically feel the heat. |
