TCM Classic Cruise

TCM is advertising a cruise on a cruise ship, but they're not making the most of their ad for it. There are lots of movies about ships, so why not pepper their sell full of these movies? Sure, most of these movies are about ships sinking, but cruise ships have a great reputation for safety, right? So then I'm sure nobody will associate these sinking ship movies with the TCM cruise, which means they've got to use these film titles (and preferably show these movies on the cruise!). Here's an example of what I mean:

Come join Turner Classic Movies for a Poseidon Adventure aboard a Titanic luxury cruise ship! Every night will be A Night to Remember while you watch the best in classic maritime movies! You'll feel like The Unsinkable Molly Brown in a Lifeboat even if the cruise ship sinks! In fact, if it does sink, you might get to travel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and meet The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms! And if we make it to the last weekend without incident, we'll show restored versions of Jaws, TentaclesPiranha and It Came from Beneath the Sea right before chumming along on a compulsory snorkeling tour of the Bahamas! That's the TCM Classic Cruise: Reserve your spot today! Come chum with us!
