Hi all, i'd like to introduce a film project i'm working on which aims to tell tragic story of Frederick Fleet - Titanic's lookout who spotted the iceberg. Predominantly set in 1965 Southampton. We meet Fred a solemn man in his late seventies. From the off, we see Fred burying his late wife...

Can anyone tell me how many movies have been made about the Titanic?

Were the characters Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater based on real Titanic passengers?

Of all the films made about the Titanic disaster, which is the most historically accurate?

For years, I've heard tales of the original version of S.O.S Titanic, but as a person born in '94, I never had the pleasure of watching it for myself in its original format. There are ancient posts from the turn of the millennium with people on this forum having copies of their own, but as...

I read that Harold Cottam was offered a role to play as himself in this film, but he declined the offer and the part went instead to Alec McCowen. Why did Harold Cottam decline? Were the memories of the sinking still painful to him?

What was this film's budget and its total box office gross? Was it a box office success in Britain and the United States? And how much was its gross compared to the 1953 and 1997 Titanic films?

Every film about the Titanic seems to be groundbreaking in some way for cinema. The first feature-length films about the disaster were Saved from the Titanic and In Nacht Und Eis, which were both released a few months after the sinking. The first sound film about the disaster was 1929's...

This early newsreel of Titanic's sister ship Olympic is fantastic! I literally gasped when I saw some of the footage. It is as close as we will ever get to seeing Titanic steam into New York City. Yeah, I know this post should be in some White Star sub-folder below, and somebody's probably...

According to Wikipedia: Why was this footage used in A Night to Remember? Were the filmmakers too lazy to create new model shots for these particular scenes in the film?

You are invited to a very special screening of "The Lucky Holdup" starring Titanic Survivor Dorothy Gibson. The 8-minute fragment discovered in 2001 is all that survives of the film made in March 1912, a month before Dorothy and her mother sailed aboard the Titanic. Join the group to take part...

I was watching the film "The Legend of Tarzan" the other day and during a early scene in the movie, The White Star Line ship SS Britannic (1874) is referenced in the "ledger" as being used by Tarzan and Co. to sail from Liverpool to Africa. (Sorry if the photos are a bit big and / or of poor...

It looks like a French line vessel. The scene is set in the 1930s. Here is a GIF link of it, which looks like it includes behind the scenes CGI of it, and the scene in the film, which is set in fog.

Nothing Titanic related, but just a interesting film for curious film / maritime fans... Apparently the Harland & Wolff built ship Rotterdam (1897) when later the C.F. Tietgen of the Scandinavian America Line was used as a film set for the Danish film Atlantis (1913) based off a book by...

By chance, a Youtube trailer with the "can't skip the ad" function appeared advertising the film: "The Ottoman Lieutenant" (2017) and I glance up casually from my Titanic Research to see a CGI model of the Titanic being used for the film! A brief lookup of the full trailer revealed the...

Hi. I am in a dispute with someone, about this. I have seen "Titanic" by James Cameron. I found this "Deleted" scene. Someone claims they have an "original" Titanic film with the following "deleted scene." I have seen this film many times. In fact, when I saw it in the theaters in 1997...

There is a short Titanic sequence in the 1964 Debbie Reynolds musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I saw it at a rerun in 1967 and that was what started my interest in the Titanic saga.

Hi all. There has been a lot of Titanic movies, which included Thomas Andrews, or, should I say in a polite way, Mr Andrews. There were some as well,where Andrews was omitted, but that is not the subject of this poll. Which movie offered in your opinion the most accurate portrayal of...

I received the new Criterion Blu-Ray version of ANTR, and the result is an impressive upgrade over the previous release. The transfer is outstanding and this time the sequence snipped in the previous release of the "British" version (but which was included in the American version released on...
