The 50s version (I beleive that was 1953...or 58...) or the one with Leonardo CiCaprio and Kate Winslet?

A Night To Remember.

The Britist film from the 50's.

Far superior to the others.

Leo and Kate... don't like it that much but i'm a huge fan of the lovely Kate. She deserved all her oscar nominations and was robbed each time.... she is perfect in every role and her choices are sometimes bizarre but always meaningful!

Would love to see "A Night To Remember". I think the fabulous Barbara Stanwyck is in that one.

I loved A Night To Remember, though wasn't it quite inaccurate?

I love A Night to Remember... Interesting, though, cause I just watched the Hollywood version this morning. I actually loved it, but the design was awful! Literally, the boat since in five seconds. The end.

ANY of them besides Leo and Kate.....there were more made than the ones you mentioned.
'A Night to Remember" remains my favorite

I think even James Cameron would say that "A Night to Remember" is his favourite.

I loved A Night To Remember, though wasn't it quite inaccurate?

If I remember correctly, there's a scene with that "other" ship besides the Carpathia, that allegedly ignored the Titanic's SOS. However, since it was never substantiated, Cameron left it out of his movie.

Plus there are the facts we've learned since the 1950s regarding the sinking, due to technology: the ship splitting in half, for example. Cameron's film is actually the most accurate, from the sequence of events to the chinaware. (Except for the cheesy love story, of course.)

Miss Clifton Webb and Mr. Barbara Stanwyck as one of those only-in-Hollywood couples (matchmaking by 20th Century Fox) plus Thelma Ritter and an impossibly beautiful Robert Wagner?

1953's Titanic is a camp hoot, and a Bad Movie to cherish.

You ain't sailed on the unsinkable ship until you've seen this one. And an Oscar for Original Story to boot!

Yeah, I love it. Robert Wagner was definetly a dream boat himself. I actually liked the plot, predictable, but good.

The James Cameron version

For whatever it is worth, the first episode of the 1960's TV series "The Time Tunnel" was about the Titanic & was called "Rendevous With Yesterday"

The James Cameron version would be great w/o the stupid love story.

Why do people f*ck up good stuff by adding in romance? Matrix 2 and 3, for examples.
