I've heard from many that this is the best movie about the Titanic disaster. I'll see it when I can.

there is a little bit inside of me that loved this BETTER than "Titanic". The whole point in NOT focusing on a single charachter! Great film!

Everything I thought I liked about Cameron's take on this tragic disaster was done long before (and much more artfully) in Baker's film. In this story, I actually come to care about the characters who have their own motives and sub-plots. I also enjoyed the sharing of the safety measures put into place since this horrific event. This is undoubtedly the best telling of the Titanic's woeful tale.

memorable for some fine acting, especially by more. it also shows how the tragic event occurred, with great emphasis on the miscommunications of the wireless operators.....

Not the 1953 Titanic, not Raise the Titanic, not those blasted cartoons, not the miniseries, and James Cameron's only close. No one could make the Titanic disaster more shocking and emotional than this film.

Roy Ward Baker's at times clinical, at times deeply moving, always painstaking recreation of the sinking of the Titanic, based on Walter Lord's excellent book of the same name, pieced together all the evidence and testimony available in 1958 to deliver the most complete reconstruction of the sinking until James Cameron's TITANIC came along nearly 40 years later. Both harrowing and deeply moving.

Whilst it's obviously better than Titanic (Battlefield Earth was better than Titanic, and not in an ironic way), it's overly sentimental, repetitive, and predictable. Honestly, is there a good story to be told about a doomed ship?

The film was not much about a certain character(s) but keeping the focus on the Titanic and the people who survived and lost their lives on that fateful night. A film that would incorporate actual footage of the Titanic from 1912 to detailed information from the survivors, nothing like it had been done ever before since 1912. Also, a perspective from the other ships Carpathia and Californian. A film worth watching

A Night to Remember will always be my favorite Titanic film. Unlike Titanic (1997), it focuses on the historical characters and speaks for those that went down with the ship. Ace film.
