Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

pretty interesting. I new Titanic was the highest grossing movie... ever, but I never knew why. Personally I liked it, but didn't think it was the best movie ever.

Right, not the best movie ever but probably the most dramatic movie with the most predictable plot. Still funny as hell when someone is surprised that the boat sinks...

You could say that a WW2 documentary has plot too. It`s based on real life and everyone knows that

Spoiler

Titanic is going to sink in the end

:ninja:

Edit: oops, I wanted to say that a WW2 documentary has a predictable plot too.

OMG NO WAAAII!!!!111 :w00t:

It only made so much cash because;

1. Every girl, 13 and up, went to see it.

2. Every boy went to see it with said girls hoping the romantic babble would get 'em to score.

What I wanted to say that it`s not right to accuse this movie of having a predictable plot.
You know

Spoiler

Titanic sank in real life too

Spoiler

sank in the end of the movie

It's not just the fact that the ship sank. It's the "rich girl falls in love with poor boy"-cliché that they had going. Heck, they've been doing that since Lady and the Tramp by Disney.

Re: Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

Ok, I agree to that.
But, I think Titanic has given us something unforgettable, the epic sweaty-hand-on-wet-glass scene.

Re: Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

That and the chaotic destruction of the ship as it sank were the only two good scenes in the entire movie. The nude painting scene was alright too, when I come to think about it.

Now you got me wanting to see it again. It's a wonderful movie. The acting was great. Maybe, I'll just plug it in.

Re: Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

Was alright, but should have been more nude. Those 13 year old girls would have not been allowed to see it then...
Ah, the destruction, people falling down and hitting the railings when the one half of the ship was going vertical. It was so hilarious.

Edit: moonfever, you want to see the movie because we talked about the car scene? :shifty:

Watch some other film that you haven`t seen yet: Blood Diamond, The Beach (very good, have seen it), Catch Me If you Can, The Departed...

Why would I do that? I have it plugged in as I type. I also love the music.

Re: Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

I think titanic is a bit soppy for me, I'd rather see some more gore and stuff and action. But yeh thats my opinion. All the girls that ever watched it say it's made them cry. I think it's emotional but not enough to cry about.

Re: Titanic is the greatest movie of all time... Why?

I agree. This is how they should've made it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q0PokETJQc

OMG, that totally freaked me out. To much blood.
Shame on you. All right, I need coffee, now.:wacko:

:devil:

Sadly, it's the only good part of that movie. It's all downhill from there... and that's the intro sequence.

Tsuyu. I get it, you don't like it. I'll never trust you again. On second thought, I better keep you out of my world, you'd find a way.
