Whats funny is, Billy Zane got the part of the asswipe upper-lip socialcrat rich snob after Michael Biehn turned it down. Biehn as an aristocrat?
That's like Ahhhnuld Schwarzenegger as a "brilliant" professor in BATMAN & ROBIN. Its beyond retarded.
Sweet! I have no idea what you are talking about, but anytime you can get in an Batman and Robin Ahnuld analogy in your post I have to say congrats! I'll make sure to never get into an analogy argument with you lol

Zane played the dick of a fiancee to Winslet's character in TITANIC. The thing is, imagine the very American Michael "The Dude that TERMINATOR chases after in First Movie" Biehn playing a British upper-socialite.
Was Zane's character British?? I thought he was an American returning to NY? Didn't Rose in the voice-ver say that he later lost all his money in the Crash of '29?
i think you are right about that, i remember her saying he loses his money and then kills himself.

To get back to the original intent of this thread:
"Titanic" was reasonably good entertainment--for one viewing. Some of the special effects were eye-popping and the action was gripping at times. But I never found the wherewithal to sit through it again--it doesn't have enough excellent content to sustain interest over three hours. Only a very few films can qualify on that score.
For my money, "A Night to Remember" (1957) is not only the definitive Titanic movie, it's also one of the best films ever made. A truly superior tale, and the semi-documentary style perfectly suits what we know is going to happen, as well as the human dramas that play out in perfect synch.

This rare, uncut, and unnarrated footage of the wreck of Titanic marks the first time humans set eyes on the ill-fated ship since 1912 and includes many other iconic scenes. Captured in July 1986 from cameras on the human-occupied submersible Alvin and the newly built, remotely operated Jason Junior, most of this footage has never been released to the public.
