I cried during "Titanic." I can't believe I spent $7.50 on such a dumb movie. It was trying so hard to press people's buttons, plus I hated the idea that in order to like the female character, she had to "give up" her wealthy heritage and "descend" to the common man's level first, the same plot as the movie "Overboard." What is the message here - that having money is wrong and automatically makes you a bitch. What an ironic thing for hollywood people to be shoveling in our direction.

I thought it was god-awful. I saw it with my father, who was obsessed with the Titanic, and he hated it more than I did.

There's a British movie from the 50s about the Titanic called A Night to Remember which is much better. I see there are colorized versions on YouTube. I'd rather watch the black and white original.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown is still the best Titanic movie.

And Ben-Hur (1959) is still the best Jesus movie.

"Is that the one with Jesus?"

"Well, he's in it, but it's not really about him."
