I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry... but I love Titanic. I feel like this is the best disaster movie of the 1990s, just because we give a crap when people die or when the ship sinks. It's not like a Roland Emmerich movie that goes from place to place, trying to find something cool to explode. And there are a lot of things to hate or to find ridiculous, I know that, but I still love how ridiculous they are!
Ah maudite affaire. http://www.francesoir.fr/actualite/scienceecologie/asteroides-google-et-james-cameron-se-lancent-dans-les-metaux-precieux-215811.html J'y suis pas zallée finalement; rgardé La réception de Rob Morin; du 4:3 comme on l'aime !
I know – it's like saying Amelie is your favorite movie; it makes me seem like a bore. But come one! This is on every child of the late-80's list of films through which one discovered his/her sexuality through a film that needed an intermission, a nude scene in a PG-13 film and a foggy window. (Mine, it turns out, was not interested in breasts or twinks, for that matter. Sorry Leo.) And for some reason, its in 3D!
Eight-year-old me in theaters watching Titanic: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZOMGTITSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I rewatched this from a grown filmmaker's perspective and gotta say, Cameron's attention to detail on the overall design of the ship, how he reveals its destruction step-by-step and breaks it down set-by-set, and how those setpieces are introduced with the 1st Class/Steerage subplot are a very canny and clever way of showcasing the event from as many angles and perspectives as possible. Also: iconic.--PolarisDiB
Holy shit was this meant to be seen on the big screen or what. Yes, the whole Leo-and-Kate as lovebirds thing is what it is, but you can so easily just be swept up in what, at its best, is an exceedingly grand, truly epic cinematic adventure (and in retrospect, at least the aforementioned romantics aren’t as patently trite as the same in Avatar). Told with such consistent storytelling and a luxuriating, impeccable visual sense, even the newly-added 3D - despite being of the fine quality expected - takes a backseat to the sheer, original spectacle of this blockbuster mammoth.
Essentially a three-hundred million dollar b-movie that's a lot of fun (still) if you're a sucker for melodrama and lengthy, star-lit shipwreck sequences. The dialogue is terrible at best, and some of the acting is highly questionable, but the sheer size of the production is still as awe-inspiring as ever. The shipwreck sequence is just as astounding now as it was in 1997, and the 3D was well-utilized.
James Cameron's epic masterpiece has lost none of its luster in the 15 years since its release. The 3D conversion is the best post-conversion I have seen, and it is clear that Cameron adhered to his usual painstaking attention to detail. Our generation's GONE WITH THE WIND, TITANIC is a timeless tale of lost love in the face of technological failure. A perfect film.
I literally have lost track of how many times I have seen this. And you know what? My eyes are glued to the screen every single time.
It is a good movie, underrated by the fact that it became probably the most successful films of all times.
I love this movie, but they rerun it again and again on TV... Boredom comes -__-"
Film buffs seem to automatically assume this is overrated garbage, but I don't care...I enjoy the hell out of it. Perhaps it is because of the cultural significant this film had while I was in my teens, but I don't really care. I make no apologies for being a fan of this one.

Such emotionally-charged performances that the first time I saw it (9-years-old) -- barely comprehending the different situations I was seeing -- I cried. Now that I see it again as a semi-adult, I realize the frothiness of the emotion (great performances none the less) but still a decent period piece.
I'm 20, which means I was 7 years old when I first watched this, and it was the first time I felt a weird tug in the pit of my stomach as Leo's hand smudged the fog on the glass. I had no idea what it was. I watched it in a makeshift school theater, with an older cousin. It was the thing to do that year in Central America, and since. Every Thanksgiving or Christmas Titanic is on. It's a cultural rite of passage.
An unspeakably godawful film. Cameron manages even to make Leo, Kate, Kathy Bates, and Victor Garber look talentless with his terrible dialogue.
The nostalgia attached to this movie for me would be enough to sink a ship. Also, nothing in this world would've been able to make my four-year-old self fall out of love with Kate Winslet. I know it's hip to hate this, but I can't help but see nothing wrong in the film that gave birth to me as a cinephile.
