You mean a guy who shouted, “I’M KING OF THE WORLD!,” after winning the Oscars has an out of control ego? (I know it’s a line from the movie)

More than 25 years later, would anyone put Titanic in the top 50 great movies of all time?

The greatest movie of all time is “La strada”. by Federico Fellini. But it’s only my opinion.

Resistance is futile.

Light, seeking light, does light of light deny.

I was teaching fifth grade when Titanic came out. All of the fifth grade girls agreed with Alex. None of the fifth grade boys had seen it.

i usually do not have opinions about movies… just showing up here to say hi

Remember the good old days, when the worst thing you heard about a Hollywood big-shot was that they had trouble controlling their ego? /s

What’s the story again? I haven’t seen it, all I remember is the discussion on our nerd group chat to calculate the floating ability of a door with one or two people on it. The main problem was to know what kind of wood it was.

I’ve always thought that Titanic was a great movie. It’s flaw was security on the production set was criminally lax and two noisy & irritating extras kept photo bombing the scenes.

This reminds me of dear Sally Field’s remark “You like me, you really like me” at the Oscars (I forgot what year). She will never live that one down.

I read a feature on the movie. There was a quote by a Titanic survivor who lived long enough to see the film. She claimed the scene where the ship upended and then went straight down is pretty much how she remembered it happening. That impressed me.

Box office receipts have nothing to do with how good a movie is

…and then he did Avatar. Credit where credit is due.

It’s a wonderful movie. Shut up, dissidents!

Gotta admit, Kim is really great as a half-mom, half-big sister!

I’m indifferent to the movie – neither liked it nor disliked it. This week’s strip has had good dialogue, but the comments have been even more fun.

I love that my favorite Irish music band plays in steerage

It’s right up there, just behind Meatballs and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Having seen other movies about the Titanic, A Night to Remember (1958) comes to mind, I was only interested in the new one because of the details from the recovered ship itself. The love story was mediocre to me.

Pockets of resistance…mostly among people whose moviegoing experience has included some good films.

Didn’t the then-called Cassius Clay say that when he beat Sonny Liston?

I might rate “Titanic” as one of my 50 Worst movies of all time. I simply can not give only one title as my all-time favorite, but “Fantasia” (only with the original soundtrack) and “The Pink Panther Strikes Again” would certainly be in the conversation…

i’d put titannic in the top ten, if, schwartzenegger had a role. or bette midler.

I’ve always put “Titanic” right down there with the “Poseidon Adventure”. :)

Why don’t we just ask the iceberg for it’s side of the story?

I’m still waiting for the sequel……………….

Didn’t go see it. Also didn’t see Avatar 1 or 2. I did see The Last Airbender. It was ok.

If Alex wants doomed romance, show her Casablanca. The special effects aren’t much (barring the illusion that Dooley Wilson could play the piano), but the dialog and performances are unforgettable. And even though Rick and Ilsa don’t end up together, they both live!

If the ship had not hit an iceberg, it would’ve been just a footnote in history like all of the other great ocean liners of that age. Sure, it was big, it was grandiose, but so were a lot of other ships.

More than likely she would’ve become a troop ship during WWI and relegated to the scrappers during the Depression.

Not even the best film about the Sinking of the Titanic. Maybe the biggest ‘Ego to Remember’.

I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m not proud of the fact. There are many movies I haven’t seen.

Saw it. Never did a thing for me. But then I don’t find DiCaprio attractive.

Me, Me, Me!

I voted for “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” as the Greatest Titanic Movie ever.

If he hadn’t introduced Jack, Rose, the whole fictitious crew and the Heart of the Sea macguffin, it might have gone down as one of the great ones. (Eleven “Oscars” – and only two of them for acting.)

Nope

Maybe the dissidents liked Lord of the Rings as a better film.

“A Night to Remember” (1958) directed by Roy Ward Baker was better. Suck on it, Cameron!

YOU love me, you really love me! Oh, some of you don’t?

Hey,the film brought Gloria Stuart “back from the dead”.She was The Invisible Man’s Sweetheart back in 1933!!

Maybe TITANIC wasn’t the greatest film,but it qualifies as “greatest financial risk”.Imagine if it HADN’T been a hit.

Every time someone talks about his “King of the World!” thing when accepting Best Director, it really bugs me. Because a few minutes later, when accepting the award for Best Picture, Cameron asked for a moment of silence for the people who died on the Titanic. That was classy as hell. Why doesn’t anyone remember that?
