Titanic: The Complete Story
The "unsinkable" Titanic was a dream come true: four city blocks long and a passenger list worth 250 million dollars. But on her maiden voyage in April 1912, that dream became a nightmare when the giant ship struck an iceberg and sunk in the cold North Atlantic. More than 1,500 lives were lost in one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. Now, using newsreels, stills, diaries, and exclusive interviews with survivors, Titanic: The Complete Story recounts the sensational history of the premier liner. In Part I: Death of a Dream, the largest ship ever built is christened in Ireland before a cheering crowd of 100,000. Witness the disaster this trek becomes as numerous iceberg warnings go unheeded and the ship sinks in the icy North Atlantic. In Part II: The Legend Lives On, over-packed lifeboats edge away from the crippled liner as a futile SOS signals flare into the night--leaving 1,500 passengers to a watery grave.

That was an excellent one.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Titanic: Death of a Dream (1994) **** (out of 4)Mammouth, 200-minute documentary taking a look at just about everything you'd want to know about the tragic sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. The documentary is broken into two parts with each one just as dramatic as the other and you really do get the feeling as if this is one of the most definitive documentaries out there. The first portion of the film deals with the building of the ship, its take-off and of course it hitting the iceberg and the panic that followed. The second portion of the film picks off just as the ship has minutes left to float and then turns to the lands where news started to spread about the fate of the ship. We then take a look at the look for bodies, the laws that changed and who was to blame for the events. The last portion deals with the discover of the ship in 1985 and the debate on whether or not artifacts should be removed from the site. With the 100th anniversary of the sinking coming up I've been watching just about every documentary I could on the subject and this one here is without question one of the best. If you've seen enough of these documentaries or read enough books then it's doubtful you're going to learn too many new things from one to the next but I think for those unfamiliar with the events this one here will come in most handy. With that said, no matter how many different books you read or movies you see, the personal stories of those on board are just as raw and fresh no matter how many times you hear them. Survivors Millvina Dean, Edith Brown Haisman, Ruth Becker Blanchard, Eva Hart and Michel Navrati are all featured in interviews as are Dot Kendle whose mother was a survivor and Frances John Parkinson, Jr. whose father was a woodworker. We also get interviews with experts such as Wyn Wade, Walter Lord, Ken Marschall, Don Lynch, Edward Kamuda, George Behe, John P. Eaton, Charles A. Haas, Leslie Harrison, Dr. Robert Ballard and Paul-Henri Nargeolel.Part one of the documentary does a great job at showing why the Titanic was build, everything that had to go into its production and then we go into great detail about the four days of its journey. When it came time to the iceberg we get all sorts of information and this is where the survivors stories are so heartbreaking as you hear from them telling their fathers goodbye and of course being in lifeboats and hearing people scream and drown only to then hear silence. The second portion of the film is just as good as we hear about the blame that was scattered around plus hear about myths a a mysterious third ship and the downfall to some of those who survived including Captain Lord. Hearing about his reaction to seeing his portrayal in A NIGHT TO REMEMBER was especially interesting. It's also fascinating hearing about the discovery of the Titanic as well as the thoughts on whether or not they should be bringing items up that have been on the bottom of the sea for all these decades. It appears that many of the survivors consider the place a graveyard and feel that stuff should be left alone. The documentary features several newspaper clippings as well as some beautiful drawings of the events and there's no question that this here is a perfect place for history buffs to start as well as those just starting to get into the legend.
Even after a decade this is still the best 'documentary' on the disaster. One thing to clear up. The first part was called 'Titanic: Death of A Dream" the second was 'Titanic: The Legend Lives On'. And together they run over 3 hours. Sadly, many of the survivors interviewed in this docu. have now passed on ie: Edith Haisman, Eva Hart, Michel Navratil. This is entertaining as well as educational. Great for the whole family sit down. So for those who may not be pleased with the many different motion picture treatments of the Titanic sinking I'd recommend this as a great alternative. Also check out your local library or the A&E channel's website store for availability.
ever produced about the titanic. I've seen pretty much all of them and this is the ultimate.It clocks in at 4 hours on 4 tapes but fills up every second with photos,interviews,survivor accounts,and model recreations.The interviews with survivors are a fascinating first hand account,and the documentary has a attention demanding narrative.This is the most complete documentary about the ship and follows it's story from the shipbuilding industry as the "space race of the infant century" to her discovery by Robert Ballard.This is an absolute must for any Titanic buff.
