..coming March 27th to Blu-ray.

This is the good Titanic movie...no silly love story...

And the special effects were pretty impressive for the time the movie was made. I can't imagine how they managed all of the logistics of tilting the sets without injuring too many people in the process.

The only really big goof was the ship not splitting in two at the stern, but no one was entirely sure what had happened to the ship until it was discovered decades later in two separate locations.

have pre-ordered the blu-ray ;). Thank you for the heads up. I really enjoy your previous recommendation of criterion blu-ray, Paths of Glory

Arrived last week, watched last night.

Like that the film moves quickly unto the core of the story. Something about black and white that really draws me in as well. As I have with previous recommends for Criterion here, I view them several times - quite interesting film. Appreciate and value these the highest in my collection.

Well done and thanks again.
