First movie is about people trapped in building which is on fire or flooded (can´t remember precisely) and they´re trying to get to the roof ( I think :D)
Second one is about people working with computer which went rogue. It´s holding them in some kind of base or complex, so to get out they try to shut it down.
Both movies were old, maybe 80s, 90s, around 2000.
Thanks to everyone for the effort

Could the second one be Resident Evil (2002)? I saw the movie like 15 years ago, so I don’t remember the plot that well, but if I remember correctly there was a computer that went rogue
Resident Evil: Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. With Ryan McCluskey, Oscar Pearce, Indra Ové, Anna Bolt. A special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures...

Could the first one be “Daylight”?
Daylight: Directed by Rob Cohen. With Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya. Disaster in a New York tunnel as explosions collapse both ends of it. One hero tries to help the people inside find their way to safety.

I know you said a building, but wanted to try a guess on something similar. Poseidon (2006) has the characters climbing different levels of a cruise ship that looks like the inside of a building, and it’s flooded AND on fire.

@casspir Thanks for your tips, but none of them is the one. I was watching it around 2008-2010 maybe, so it was probably closer to 90s, because it was “rather” new as I remember. The people were some kind of scientists working with the computer. I´m sorry for the lousy details, but I barely remember it. I was o kid at the time, that´s why the lack of information

@Jamesanthony I tried this one in my search, but it´s not the right one. The one, that i´m searching for was a little bit newer than this one.

@casspir I am familiar with San Andreas. I acually really like this movie, but the movie i´m looking for is older. (As i said in the description) probably before year 2000 or around 2000. (up to 2010 tops)

The Chosen: Directed by Alberto De Martino. With Kirk Douglas, Simon Ward, Agostina Belli, Anthony Quayle. Robert's in charge of constructing a nuclear power plant in the Middle East. Will it be instrumental in prophecies of antichrist's apocalypse?

@chisco still not the one i´m looking for. By the looks of it, it was a little bit newer than this movie
My idea for the second movie, by the way, don’t put 2 questions in one again, is" The Tower" 1993. A TV movie.
The Tower: Directed by Richard Kletter. With Paul Reiser, Susan Norman, Richard Gant, Annabelle Gurwitch. A man working at an ultramodern corporate building finds himself and a colleague trapped inside with a homicidal security system hell-bent on...

@Kramerjp Thanks for the tip. It looks like a really good movie, but that´s not it either. It was most definitely a building, because I remembered, that there was a scene, where the characters were on a rooftop and they were trying to get from the roof back to the building in a schaft (probably to save someone) and I saw a city in the backround.
