Titanic? Ten minutes into that borefest, I'm going, "Just sink already!

Thanks for giving away the ending. I was going to watch that movie.

The Babe Ruth Story, when he’s in the hospital and the crowd outside is holding a vigil, and then here goes “Take me out to the ball game”. I don’t care if critics think it’s crap. Armageddon and Old Yeller. Oh, and Greyfriars Bobby.

I saw Titanic in a crowd THAT DID NOT KNOW how things turned out!!!

I loathed that movie. The actual story is so much more gut-wrenching and memorable.

Got home, flipped the switch on for background noise and caught the 2nd half of A Night to Remember about a month ago when it was on the idiot box. A British movie from the 50's that many consider to be the most accurate one dealing with the sinking of the Titanic.

Anyway, there was a scene near the end after "every man for himself" was declared where a small child who was separated from his Mommy (and missed the lifeboats) was crying out for her amidst the chaos of men in their final panicked terror before the big whoosh of ship into sea. An elderly gentleman picks the child up and wraps him warm and tells him "Don't worry, we'll find your Mommy!"

Okay, I admit it. That scene punched me in the gut and sent my heart in a standstill. I'm gonna have to rent the movie now to watch the whole thing! I highly recommend this movie for the Titanic buffs. 5 daggers to the heart just for that scene.
