I watched "A Night To Remember" thinking that it was just another shipboard love story. Then I watched it. From the time she stuck the iceberg, to the time she went down, I was on the edge of my seat. In this version you meet a lot of the characters, get to know them a little and feel sorry for them when they die (I was in absolute horror when my favorite character died, I sat there in shock saying "Oh god they're dead"), and there is a lot of this for a lot of the passengers. You are glad when a character you liked lives, but the loss of all the characters that had lives ahead of them, gives you the impact that the real tragedy had. My mindset about Titanic before I watch "A Night To Remember" was "Ship sank, people died", after "A Night To Remember" it was " a horrible catastrophe that is caused mainly by arrogance, and could have been averted so many ways, but it wasn't, and 1500 pay the ultimate price". (This film inspired me to research the Titanic). This film has a message, and it is brutally honest with it.
The emotional impact of this film is matched by the stunning picture quality. If you look very closely, you can see things that can't be seen in other copies of the film, such as water dripping from various places on the Huge Model of the ship they built for the special affects (and even though the effects are not as good as James Cameron's "Titanic", they get the job done with excitement, and historical accuracy). Scenes showing the Titanic at sea are absolutely breathtaking, and when the ship begins to sink, we see are thrown onto the decks with the other passengers as they struggle for a place in the lifeboat. Throughout the film, the Titanic herself becomes a character, a dying character, who is fighting to live, but to no avail.
This film is a fantastic, it is the best retelling of the story of the Titanic and the wonderful picture and sound quality enhance this to a form of realism that is unmatched by any other film.

Read the book in High School and saw this movie years ago on TV..and wanted it in my library 4 historical and sentimental reasons. Unfortunately, the case was all busted up when I opened the packet that it arrived in!! The imprint of the disc was worn right through on the back side of the case...indicating that it had been crushed at some point. 😠
