In this week's episode of Films I Own But Haven't Watched Yet, I delve into my ever-expanding DVD collection and dig out a random title to watch for the first time and review based on that first viewing. Today's title is the tragic classic depicting the fatal voyage of Titanic, "A Night to Remember"!

A Night to Remember (1958): Directed by Roy Ward Baker, "A Night to Remember" is a historical drama that meticulously recounts the harrowing story of the RMS Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage. Based on Walter Lord's 1955 book of the same name, the film offers a detailed and realistic portrayal of the events leading up to and following the ship's collision with an iceberg on April 14, 1912.

The narrative focuses on the experiences of the passengers and crew, highlighting the acts of bravery, panic, and confusion that unfolded as the "unsinkable" ship met its tragic end. Featuring Kenneth More as Second Officer Charles Lightoller, the film captures the human drama and the myriad personal stories amidst the larger catastrophe. Praised for its accuracy and attention to detail, "A Night to Remember" remains one of the most respected cinematic representations of the Titanic disaster.

Join me as I experience "A Night to Remember" for the first time and share my initial thoughts on this gripping and poignant film!
