 I enjoyed TITANIC, but I am somewhat bemused by the repeat 
 viewers.  I enjoyed the technical stuff about how the ship 
 filled with water, broke up, and sank, more than the story. 
 That is, the story was okay and considerably better than most in 
 a disaster film.  I have been known to snuffle with the best of 
 them at emotional films, but this one just didn't have that 
 effect on me. 
 
 I had the same reaction to THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE.  This 
 certainly didn't make either film a flop for me, but I think I'm 
 drawn to the puzzle aspect - how everything is put together, 
 how it falls apart, and the necessary adjustments\new problems 
 that arise as matters progress.
