While it's James Cameron's 1997, multi-award-winning epic that most movie goers have seen. Who could forget switching over to the second VHS tape when it first arrived on video? But in terms of accuracy (and frankly, in terms of story and more), the 1958 film #ANighttoRemember is the best cinematic representation of the tragedy. (James Cameron has himself talked about his love of the film and about how much he borrowed from it.)

    Enigmatic actor Val Kilmer has passed away at 65. Enigmatic actor Val Kilmer has passed away at 65. Kilmer's daughter Mercedes gave the cause of death as pneumonia.

From his first leading roles in films like Top Secret! and Willow, to his turns as Jim Morrison, Doc Holliday, and Batman, he proved to be a hugely-skilled, charismatic film star across 4 decades of work. He found critical praise and heaps of movie-going fans throughout in both starring and supporting parts, despite health challenges in more recent years.

In 1992, critic Roger Ebert wrote, "if there is an award for the most unsung leading man of his generation, Kilmer should get it". As usual, Ebert was spot on. Kilmer stood out among his contemporaries from the very beginning.

Hackman had an impressive five-decade career, winning two Academy Awards and and being nominated for another three. From films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation and Unforgiven, to memorable characters like Popeye Doyle, Lex Luthor and Royal Tenenbaum, he was equally at home (and as efffective) in quiet dramas, action or comedy.
