Titanic
1997

This film breaks through all of my stereotypes. Always one to bash big budget films often without even seeing them, this one puts me in my place. Perhaps the most expensive film of all time, Titanic delivers. Storyline, character development, special effects, its all there. I credit the director for holding true to his vision on this film. Playing over three hours, every minute was well worth it. Cameron's story of romance on the high seas between Jack and Rose works perfectly as a backdrop to the tradgedy that occurred on the moonless night of April 15, 1912. Stellar indeed, this film is sure to pull in dozens of awards.
