General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

One more of my favourites, and I don’t know how I could have forgotten about it, was the 1997 version of Titanic with Leonardo diCaprio and Kate Winslet. We watched it in the cinema and, right at the end when the boats returned, there were men and women in the audience actually sobbing their hearts out. Then I saw something I hadn’t seen for many years in a cinema which was, when the credits were going up, everybody stood up and applauded. Very emotional indeed.

However, I’ve also watched the 1958 colour version called A Night to Remember about the 1912 disaster with Kenneth More, which was more true to the actual story, which is also riveting; whereas the 1997 version was just a love story, but brilliant all the same.
