Goofs:
Anachronisms: Mr. Dickie says he saw Mary Pickford in a "moving picture" at a fair, in a box that he put his eye to. The Kinetoscope, which he is describing had been superseded by projection in the eighteen-nineties. Cinemas as nickelodeons were pervasive by 1912, so that movies were no longer a mysterious innovation that passengers on the Titanic would not have heard of. more

Titanic (1996, Dir. Robert Lieberman)

Its 1912, and the deemed 'unsinkable' ship, the Titanic sets sail. Unbeknownst to everyone, the ship would strike an iceberg and sink, claiming the lives of 1,523 innocent souls. On board this ship, a number of stories evolve with a horrifying conclusion.

I've seen a few people who mistake this version for the blockbuster film, but this is a very different people. Some people like this version more, but personally, I don't. The main reason is the length, as it is just too long for the plot. Unlike the blockbuster, this film focuses more on the conversations between individuals. The conversations aren't exactly interesting either, and drag on to long. As well as this, many of the performances aren't memorable or even great, with the exception of Tim Curry, who provides the only interesting story (other than the ships). I was actually surprised by the effects. For a TV movie, I was expecting a cheap looking ship, but was overly impressed by how it looks.

I'm not asking you to kiss me. – Jamie Perse (Mike Doyle)
