To think there's no way in hell this could ever be remade

[GoldfishParade]

It's been 23 years since Titanic 😱 It was all so perfect... Leo (my first crush), Kate Winslet (who was amazing in this). The two actors were perfectly chosen... The theme music... The pace...

Was watching it the other day and thought it had barely aged. Still made me cry. Love this scene here with the boat being hoisted down!

AIBU to think nobody would ever be crazy enough to ever try and remake this film?

Confession time.

I have never actually seen the film.

I feel I have because there has been so much about it on TV.

Should I bother?

Not unless you think that Kate Winslet walking along the deck looking concerned and asking Titanic’s designer why there aren’t enough lifeboats for everyone is a brilliant and subtle piece of foreshadowing.

Pile o shite, sorry OP.

There's about 40 minutes where the dialogue is just 'Rose...' '... Jack' 'Rose...' '... Jack'.

Some of the side stories were poignant, could've saved them and drowned R&J early and improved the movie vastly imo.

Also, throwing the necklace into the sea in the end? Selfish old cah.

I thought it was quite boring. I fell asleep watching it and have never bothering watching it again.

"You remember what I told you about those boats Rose"

I love this film. I don't think it could be remade. Home alone 3&4 were a load of crap because it didn't have any of the original actors.

I thought it was a bag of crap.
Can't understand why people cried at it, it's not as if the end was a surprise.

I watched it in 1997, and thought it was ok, however having rewatched it ( DD and DH love it), I realise what a dreadful movie it is.
( apart from obviously dreadful scenes of the panic on the ship and the woman putting her kids to bed).
Rest is dire.

Oh I love titanic!! Might watch it this weekend!

Only a preteen would think it's a good film

The adults on the Acadamy Awards committee clearly liked it quite a bit.

I would have quite liked it to have been more of a docufilm, with it following three families/people from different classes and what their experiences aboard the ship and beyond were like.

The titanic sinking is a big enough story on its own, we don't need the love affair/ false imprisonment/attempted murder/suicide to make it interesting.

They quite often have rather dubious taste.

Oooh I've seen Titanic 2..that was different[/quote]
Well, that was.........bizarre!

To use a Mumsnet favourite expression, were they on glue to make that?

Titanic meets A Mouse's Tale, meets Moby Dick meets Lassie. All with an environmental anti-whaling message in a Japanese cartoon.

Still far more entertaining than the load of old wank that is "Titanic".

Apologies, it's Italian.

Love the fact that people are credited under "Tentacles".

I mean, Avatar and Braveheart both won Oscars. I think that’s conclusive proof that absolutely shite movies can still win awards.

As I said upthread, I think the Oscars were a lot to do with the CGI. I don't get the suggestion of a "remake", it's not the first about this topic and it's a true story (apart from all the Rose and Jack shite). So can certainly be another film made about this story, hopefully better than this utter pony

A Night To Remember was way better. Titanic was crap - it was actually a pretty good film until the boat crashed, but from then on in it was so obvious, the heartstrings they were trying to pull.

but Braveheart was bloody brilliant

@ChristmasFluff

but Braveheart was bloody brilliant

As fiction, much the same as Titanic.

DH is a bit of a Titanic nut and has told me that in his opinion A Night to Remember was the better and more accurate film and that the problem with Titanic was that so many of the historical scenes were actually cut from the film to make more room for the love story.
