Titanic: Love it or hate it ?

One of the unfulfilled cinema yearnings of my youth is Raise The Titanic, a thriller from 1980 that had great poster art and a hype campaign that had me going. The reviews were awful, I didn't see it, and it has been elusive as far as video. I'm sure if I ever catch up with it, it will be a non event, but I do remember being awfully excited about it at one time.

That was the very first book that I ever read that was not an assigned school reading. Began a life-long love of Clive Cussler.

Don't bother. Read the book instead. Trust me on this one.
