"So would be saying 'I went to see The Titanic.'
Did you take a dive into the North Atlantic? If not,
you saw the movie, whose title is simply 'Titanic.'
The idea that there could be any ambiguity here is
preposterous.
Then again, I have heard a fair number of people refer
to it as "The Titanic", including Michelle Pfeiffer
when she presented the Golden Globe award for Best
Picture that year. I have no idea why people do that, but
they do.
