BY GEORGE DICKIE As seafaring disaster films go, there is "Titanic" and then there is everything else. Indeed, director James Cameron's big-budget epic about a romance between a society girl When humans hit the open sea ... and the open sea hits back Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in "Titanic" (Kate Winslet) and a penniless artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the liner during its ill-fated 1912 maiden voyage set or tied a number of moviemaking records, including budget ($200 million; since surpassed), Oscar nominations and wins (14 and 11) and box office gross ($2.195 billion, since surpassed). Shipwrecks had always fascinated Cameron and so for the film, he was painstaking in his recreations. The underwater shots at the actual wreck were filmed by his team in the North Atlantic, and for the sinking scenes, he had a replica of the ship constructed in a tank on Mexico's Baja Peninsula. Little things like furniture, decor and dishes were also taken from historical photos. Such attention to detail – along with the performances, story and just about everything else – lift this 1997 film head and shoulders above the run-of-the-mill disaster-at-sea flick. Viewers can relive the grandeur of the liner and the horror of its demise Tuesday, March 30, on Starz. "Charles & Diana: 1983" This documentary goes back to the early '80s to recall a time when "Diana Mania" began to take hold in Great Britain and around the world, when Princess Diana's popularity started to outshine that of her husband and even senior members of the Royal Family, which didn't sit well. It's also when cracks began to appear in their relationship that ultimately doomed it. (ORIGINAL) "ZeroZeroZero" This Italy/Mexico co-production is inspired by the same-titled book by "Gomorrah" author Roberto Saviano and follows the international cocaine trade through a shipment of the drug, from the moment a powerful cartel of Italian criminals decides to buy it until the cargo is delivered and paid for. Érick Consuelo, Gabriel Byrne, Andrea Riseborough and Dane DeHaan head the cast. (ORIGINAL) "Movie: Audrey" From director Helena Coan ("Chasing Perfect," "Keepsake") comes this 2020 documentary that examines the remarkable life and career of actress, fashion icon and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn through archival footage, film clips and interviews with son Sean Ferrer, director Peter Bogdanovich and actor Richard Dreyfuss. (ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! "Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet: Season 7" (Available now) The doctor is in as an elderly porcupine, two stubborrn muskoxen, an overweight but cagey bison due for a physical and a flight to relocate two bear cubs are among the cases facing all-species veterinarian Dr. Michelle Oakley in the seventh season of this National Geographic unscripted series.
