29 Historical Movies That Actually Got Things Right

April 29, 2025 by Romy Tirosh

#11: A Night to Remember

Year: 1958

Before James Cameron brought us Titanic, many people already knew about the catastrophic sinking of the famed ship. The 1958 A Night to Remember, directed by Roy Ward Baker, took a different approach from the 1997 film we all came to know and love.

Instead of glamorizing the ship’s sinking and focusing on a singular love story, Baker’s film examines several more characters, themes of class dissonance, and what led to the ship’s sinking. Cameron must have been seriously inspired by this film, seeing as several scenes in the Titanic seem almost identical to Baker’s film.
