"A Night To Remember" is better.
Just sayin'
shareI saw A Night to Remember twice over a 20 year span. Twenty years between viewings is plenty. Similar sappy human interest side story as Titanic but without the superb special effects and technical accuracy.
Titanic is far more rewatchable, which is why it was in the theaters for so long. A ridiculous amount of people went back several times. That's very rare.
One might argue that the remake contains sappy special effects with deplorable human interest. When it comes to story vs effects I will take story every time. The tragedy of this event is that FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE DIED. Not just that Jack did.
shareI prefer the Cameron story because of the advanced special effects, and it feels like you're right there. And the bit where the ship splits in two is just awesome.
I don't disagree, but A Night to Remember has the same type of human interest back story as Titanic, only it's even less interesting as the Jack and Rose story line.
A Night to Remember has excellent special effects, but Titanic (budget be damned) eclipses the accuracy of the sinking by a wide margin.
I would have been happy with a purely historic recreation involving characters that were only known to be on the ship and whose stories were known: Astors, Strauss', Molly Brown, etc., but then the movie wouldn't have been able to pay back it's production budget if it was more to my liking and less to favoring general appeal.
uh... no. Once was quite enough for this garbage. And if I ever hear that awful song from that ugly Canadian chick again...
