"whew" is right! I could retire and start my own Titanic Research Center with that kind of change.

It has it's very obvious flaws but A Night to Remember is still my favourite.In my opinion, here is how I would rank each Titanic film from best to worst. (This is all from my opinion and expirience. If you disagree, I respect your opinion.)
BEST: Titanic (1997), A Night To Remember (1958) (This is probably the most obvious part of the list. I love this films because of the accuracy and detail put into the ship, and it made me feel like I was there. Just because I find these as my favorite movies about the Titanic, and also my favorite films in general, doesn't mean I think these are perfect. In my opinion, the 1997 film could have had their protagonist couple based on two lovers that were ACTUALLY there.)
Good: Atlantic (1929), Titanic (1953)
Meh: Titanic (1943), Titanic (1996)
Bad: SOS Titanic (1979), Raise the Titanic (1980) (SOS Titanic was terrible in my opinion, the interior looked NOTHING like the Titanic, and they stole scenes from "A Night To Remember", and the editing was horrible. For example, in the sinking, one scene, the stern has rose entirely out of the water, the next scene, the stern is just starting to rise out of the water, and you should already know why "Raise the Titanic" is bad.)
WORST: Every Italian Titanic "film" ever made; [The Legend of the Titanic (1999), Titanic: The Legend Goes On (2001), Tentacolino (2004)] (Do I really have to explain?)
