re: #169 HappyWarrior

I don’t think that’s controversial. I don’t hate Titanic like some people do but it’s merely a good movie not a great, all time movie.

Titanic was number one for two reasons:
1. Earnings for movies are not adjusted for inflation, or Gone With the Wind would always be number one, and we definitely don’t want that.
2. When Cameron was making it, a producer told him that he’d only get half the population to show up, to which Cameron replied something to the affect of “I would love that.” Imagine if 150M people showed up to any movie. And a lot of them brought their significant others.

Titanic was the best movie ever made based on a romance novel (that never existed).

BTW, I’m not disagreeing with your assessment at all. Just a statement.

Edited. I meant disagree, not agree.
