1. The Lost Film of the Titanic
Associated Movie:
Titanic,
starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane and Kathy Bates
"Highly Recommended. Of particular interest are the interviews featuring two surviving crewmen. Although these are audio interviews only, one crewman gives a particularly vivid picture of the sinking of the RMS Titanic and his astonishing survival."
