Raise the titanic add-info

Like many reviews, this is a 50/50 movie, people like it, and hated at the same time.
Well, for all Raise fans (US), unfortunately we have to see this movie in 4:3 format. The UK dvd release is in 16:9 format (check amazon.co.uk) good price, but is in PAL and region 2. You may use your home PC to watch this movie or you may crack your dvd-player to allow region 0 and PAL.

Good luck.... BTY, we are still waiting for a special edition (US). October 18, 2007

Raise Titanic good movie

I bought this for Raise the Titanic, a decent movie 3 star movie, but don't hold your breath for any blockbuster or special effects to compare to today. I like this movie for a simple reason, Alec Guinness (the original Obi-Wan) and his performance. He has a small part and steals the movie completely, in my opinion. I like like to rewatch this just for that reason....great actor. September 30, 2007

Action

All though a little on the fiction side I think that Raise the Titanic is a movie worth watching. I also think my man Friday was worth watching as well June 27, 2007

Raise is a good movie/Couldn't finish Man Friday

RAISE THE TITANIC is a good movie. It stands the test of time pretty well and is worth watching. I watched the first few minutes of MAN FRIDAY and had to stop (nothing against Richard Roundtree, but his singing isn't worth my time). June 3, 2007
