They don't make 'em like this anymore.
The Titanic was alright but... even amazing modern special effects couldn't help it compare to this film.
It tugged at my heart strings in the first half hour... It sets the scene and character development and stuff... in the first half hour. It sets the mood and builds meaning in the first half hour. Then the disaster itself happens within like 1 minute. It doesn't draw it out and try to over dramatise anything. Its dramatic enough. Its also quite horrific and chilling i thought.. people falling to their deaths and getting squashed to death and loved ones dying... Its pretty hardcore.
I love films like this :) Just really well made and well acted and well written and doesn't cheesify stuff.
They managed to fit a few laughs in there too.. And there's thankfully very few "OMG NO!!!!!I'm NOT DOING THAT!!!" women who you just know are going to die and just annoy you. In fact the only character who i can remember as being annoying like that was Ernest borgnine's(sp) character, but thankfully he isn't overly annoying.
Just a great film. I love finding an old classic like this on TV which I've never seen before.
