Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Wagner star in this gripping re-enactment of the tragic 1912 sinking of the Titanic in which over 1,500 people lost their lives. Supposedly an unsinkable ship, the huge British luxury liner met with disaster on it's maiden voyage when it's captain ignored numerous warnings of impending danger. Though based on facts culled from eyewitnesses, fictional characters depict the men and women, many of them international celebrities, who courageously faced this unexpected tragedy in the icy, bleak waters of the North Atlantic. This tremendously moving and extraordinary film continues to captivate audiences around the world. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

Despite its awful ranking on this website, Titanic is a quality flick. However, the sinking of the steamboat doesn’t take centre stage, most of the focus targetingthe ongoing drama between a select group of passengers (based on quite typical family issues). As for the catastrophe, it happens in the flick of an eye, within the last minutes (with a proper Hollywood explosion – oh well). Of course, Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck’s very solid performances stand out, but against the factual reconstruction of the tragic events depicted in its (five-year younger) British successor A Night to Remember, this American version pales in comparison – despite its higher dedication to the character depiction.
