How are the other Titanic movies?

[TLAM Strike]

I liked the one with Dr. Who at Christmas.

Beware: The above videos contains a curse-word here and there, and also rapping dogs and talking dolphins.

No-one?

No?

I'll get my coat...

I read the book. Written by Clive Cussler. But the movie was pretty good too.

I think what Dowly meant was "Are there any other Titanic movies with Kate Winslet (or Kiera) nekkid?"

I must admit, I did enjoy it too, been ages since I last saw it though. Haven't read the book though, might have to borrow it from Nagy, I think he might have it, he has a lot of Cussler novels.

Think I'll check "Raise the Titanic" then.

I read some where that if the ship had hit the iceberg head on, she would have survived the impact. Also, I know there has been much talk about building methods and rivit quality, but I wonder if a modern ship today would survive the same impact, who knows

[Betonov]

It's not how hard you hit something, it's how many compartments you flood.
A head on collision would result in the front two compartments completely destroyed and the third one flooded (rough guess) and the ship won't submerge enough to have water overflowing into dry compartments (like it happened in 1912).
But who knows. Maybe she had another design flaw when a head on collision would bend the entire superstructure that would allow all other compartments to flood.

And modern ships can survive head on collision. Stockholm did when it hit Andrea Doria in 1956

I'm still waiting for the version with a surprise twist ending...

Loved "a night to remember", but if you can go watch it with the commentary track... There are some great gems in there. During the sinking they said it would look cool if the windows on the bridge would break and the water pour in. That idea was later used in the Cameron version, based on that persons ideas...

I'm surprised the whole thing was not built of steel, it was mass produced in those times IIRC.

Saw a documentary a while back and they tested the plates. They concluded that it was as good quality as could be expected back then.
I think the rivet story is something else... But can't remember the details...

Have to check it out with commentary then.

There are a few scenes in ANtR that I recall being recycled in Cameron's version.
