Woot woot woot #7

I can’t believe _War of the Worlds_ did well. I really couldn’t think of anything for that question. And looking at the previous answers, no one had answered it.

And I am shocked that no one answered “Three Mile Island” for a specific Man-made disaster. That probably would have been my answer if the gulf oil spill disaster was on everyone’s minds.

Three Mile Island wasn’t actually a disaster.

There was, weirdly enough, a Nazi Titanic movie. It was made in 1943 by Universum Film Aktiengesellschaft with Goebbels pushing the project ahead. Like the 1997 movie it went way over budget and questions were raised about whether Herbert Selpin, the director, knew what he was doing. But this was Nazi Germany not Hollywood so the Gestapo killed Selpin and replaced him with a new director, Werner Klingler. James Cameron should appreciate his luck.

This version of the story stressed how the sinking was caused by British greed. The owners of the ship ordered it to ran too fast in order to manipulate the stock market. The film’s hero was a German first officer who unsuccessfully protested this decision and later rescued numerous passengers during the sinking.

Apparently **Dolores** didn’t see your note before (or immediately after) she posted the scores. I’m guessing **Sigmagirl** ’s _“Sully”_ got included with the “Captain Sully Sullenberger” group, as she finished just ahead of me.

Quite a few, actually. Scroll down here: [Find - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=titanic). _The Unsinkable Molly Brown_ doesn’t even appear on that list. There was a _Titanic_ scene in _Time Bandits_, too.

S’okay, not like there’s money involved here. Besides, I got the last one - it’s swampbear’s turn anyways.

…There _ **IS** _ no money involved, right??!?!?
