We are talking about the original right? Otherwise just watch Titanic again.

The 1972 original is quite good, suspenseful and tragic. Didn't much care for how Ernest Borgnine and Gene Hackman were going at each other all the time (it wasn't enough to have the ship capsized and sinking, they had to add the human element), but storytelling is drama, and that made for good drama. Also, hated how Gene Hackman as the preacher, in Christ-like fashion, sacrificed himself at the end by falling into the boiling hot water. Couldn't someone have thrown him a rope or something and he swung over to the ledge? I really liked that guy!
Having watched my brother die of cancer in real life, I could really feel the pain of the characters who lost loved ones in the quest to get up to the engine room, where the hull was only one inch thick
