Even creepier, the passengers of the Titanic were treated to a silent version showing of "The Poseidon Adventure" at the very time the Titanic struck that iceberg in 1912. The movie was such a hit that the reel was rewound so that the film could be shown a second time. By the time the second showing was over, the ship was in its death throes and it was too late for most of the viewers to make the lifeboats.
