Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)

(Refers to 90 minutes DVD version)

The underwater visuals of Titanic were stunning - and Cameron did a great job orienting us with still photographs, reenactments, and computer generated graphics when necessary. However, Cameron seems not to realize that we're watching this documentary to see the ship...not him and his silly "rescue" of one of his cam-bots. I found him to be every bit as annoying and charmless as I'd thought he was; but Bill Paxton came off as down-to-earth and I liked him. I'm glad I saw this -- actually viewing the inside of the wreck was beautifully spooky.
