Near, far, wherever you are...

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2004)

OK, the biggest film of all time. Let us remember that it was good. It looks astounding, even now. It takes the already good A Night To Remember and improves upon it. The much-derided love story works for me, I'm sorry. In fact, the one bad thing anyone had to say about this in 1997 was that the dialogue wasn't up to scratch. Excuse me? How many quotable lines? `She's made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can sink.' `I'm the king of the world!' `We are dressed in our best and prepared to go down as gentlemen. But we would like a brandy.' `You unimaginable bastard!' This film is a true classic in the old-fashioned sense of the word.
