    1) Way better than Cameron's version. 2) It's brutally immaculate attention to detail. 3) One of the films that gets better/important with age.

    I prefer the Fox 1953 version with Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwick and Robert Wagner among others.

    Cameron's was big on spectacle and Fox's had the big stars, but for sheer excellence, I keep returning to this wonderful film - first on Laserdisc and now on DVD. Also of interest, check out the hilariouosly inept and propagandist German 1943 TITANIC, personally overseen by Joseph Goebbels himself.

    1. The Best Titanic Movie, Even Better Than James Cameron's One. 2. Historical Accurate (almost) 3. True Displays Of Humanity In The Face Of Tragedy 4. It's Titanic!

    With that last shot of the furniture floating in the ocean, it occurred to me that Bunuel could've made an amazing Titanic movie. (If somebody had given him the money to.) Just imagine all the bourgeois couples too engrossed in eating dinner to notice the ship was sinking. Beautiful.
