Posted: 6/5/05 at 7:29pmThe 50s version (I beleive that was 1953...or 58...) or the one with Leonardo CiCaprio and Kate Winslet?
"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."

A Night To Remember.
The Britist film from the 50's.
Far superior to the others.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 8:14pmLeo 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!

Posted: 6/5/05 at 8:16pmWould love to see "A Night To Remember". I think the fabulous Barbara Stanwyck is in that one.

Welcome, G.
See a connection, M.? Next word in sequence is "drowning."

Posted: 6/5/05 at 10:33pmI loved A Night To Remember, though wasn't it quite inaccurate?

Posted: 6/5/05 at 10:39pmI 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.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 12:16amI was like 13 when it came out so I think its a law that i like the Leo and Kate version best
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

ANY of them besides Leo and Kate.....there were more made than the ones you mentioned.
'A Night to Remember" remains my favorite
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

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!

Posted: 6/6/05 at 5:13pmYeah, 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.
