    Should there be more shipwreck films?

    It would be nice to see drama films as epic as James Cameron's 1997 Titanic based on the sinkings of the Birkenhead, Central America, Arctic, Lusitania, and the Empress of Ireland. And a movie about the Edmund Fitzgerald in the style of The Perfect Storm, The Finest Hours, and In the Heart of...
