Titanic (1996)
7/10
A worthy re-tread, of the greatest sea disaster.

A superior account to James.C's overblown epic but as a t.v movie 'Titanic' moves as slow as a snail, towards it's inevitable doom. Plus points include, the great George C. Scott as the terribly haunted Captain and also features the the man who dressed up as a woman and escaped in one the lifeboats. For me the latter is one of the most interesting aspects of the sinking but completely missed by the other movies (such as the huge Hollywood effort). Why create false drama, when the actual truth is more interesting and far more dramatic? if you can overcome the slowness of the first 30 minutes, this version is far more satisfying.
