Summary: Haunting, Captivating
Review: I bought this documentary set in 1995 after viewing the last half of it on A&E. I was spell-bound. The Titanic disaster is one of the most haunting incidents in the world's history. I have watched the tapes at least 4 times. If you have a keen interest in history, and appreciate a detailed, well-researched documentary that takes you from the building to the sinking of the Titanic, along with all the human drama involved, you will not be disappointed in this top-notch production. This one is a keeper.

Summary: Ultimate Titanic Documentary
Review: I have studied the history of and legends surrounding the sinking of the Titanic for over 20 years, and I have not seen a finer, more comprehensive treatment of the disaster. Not only are there survivors accounts featured (several of whom have since died), but interviews with Walter Lord and other historians. This is, in short, what a Titanic documentary would look like if Ken Burns decided to do one. Kudos! Outstanding!

Summary: Excellent for any Titanic lover!
Review: I just saw this documentry and must say that it moved me to tears! It was very detailed, and included survivor interviews, author interviews, and diary readings from survivors from the Titanic. During the detailed explanations of it's sinking, I felt like I myself was sinking along with the other victims. This is an excellent documentry, A&E of course always knows how to take viewers where no one else can. I highly recommend this DVD. If you take even the slightest liking to the historical disaster, you will want to have this for your own collection.

Summary: A&E does the BEST documentaries!
Review: I watch this DVD at least 3 times a week. It's really three two-hour documentaries, but the first two comprise one series and the third is it's own short film.The first disc shows you everything about the voyage of the fateful liner, from it's infancy to it's fateful sinking and the legacy left afterward. The second disc shows a great documentary about Titanic's affect on pop culture. I bet you never knew that the Titanic was featured in a Nazi propoganda film! I consider myself to be quite the Titanic fanatic, and the second disc taught me things I honestly never knew! I HIGHLY recommend this DVD set to anyone interested in learning about the world's most famous ocean liner, and the legacy it's left. After watching this, you won't even be able to remember who James Cameron is!

Summary: Simply the *BEST* TITANIC documentary.
Review: I watched the A&E Special first, then I had to purchase this for my own collection. It is a gripping account of the events that occurred on that fateful night, and it is much more than a simple "timeline" account. This documentary has everything you always wanted to know about TITANIC, but didn't know where to begin to find it. I find that each time I watch this I find myself feeling melancholy afterwards [much like Cameron's film]. Personal accounts are woven throughout the documentary to give it the proper perspective, and it brings this tragedy back to life. I can't find anything negative to say about it. I highly recommend it. -- Doug Griswold, Sierra Vista, AZ. END

Summary: one of the best documentaries ever made
Review: I've been interested in the Titanic disaster for many years, and this presentation (along with the British movie "A Night to Remember") is the best of the many documentaries or fictionalized versions of the story--certainly, I found it much more effective than the James Cameron epic. To me the most emotional moments came from the interviews with the survivors--many of whom have since passed away. Although the Titanic sank 86 years ago, when you see the survivors remember their experiences, it's as though the ship sank last week.

Summary: Excellent Detailed Documentary
Review: In the finest tradition of A & E, this film is a riveting, detailed documentary of R.M.S. Titanic. It reviews the complacency and overconfidence of the Gilded Age, describes the events which led to the building of the Titanic, and through the words of survivors and other eye witnesses, takes us through the sailing, the collision with the iceberg, the sinking, and the aftermath, both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The only weakness is that Stanley Lord of the Californian gets off too lightly. He and his officers at the very least were negligent for not awakening the wireless operator and trying to find out what was going with the "mystery ship" they all admit to knowing about.
