    Default Titanic

    Was recorded in my Tivo as a suggestion, so I'm watchign this now...

    ah, the memories....I saw Titanic 14 times in the theater. They used to play the Celine Dion song on the radio with cuts from the movie, and I used to cry when it played on the radio.
    I saw it so many times, I'd start to cry halfway through the movie, just cause I knew what was comming.

    I think I was 15 or just 16 when this movie came out. I know I drove to the movie, but I know I didn't have my lisence yet, so that would put me at late 15 early 16....Such a perfect movie for girls that age, although I still love it.

    Anyone else still love this movie?

    I really like Titanic. We have the VHS and watch it frequently. I heard that the DVD has an alternate ending. Does anybody know what it is?

    i have studied the titanic as a historical moment. i admit that i was impressed with how well james cameron's movie had actors that truly resembled the real passengers on the ship.

    and yes, i own the movie and enjoy its sappiness from time to time.

    I loved Titanic, the movie came out when I was about 10... I collected all the historical books and wanted to be a marine biologist like Robert Ballad, for the longest time when I was a kid haha

    I still love this movie. It came out in theaters a couple of months after my ex-husband and I first met in Italy and we were so very much in love. We watched it twice together in the theater. The movie became 'our movie' and "My Heart Will Go On" became one of our songs. It was a very wonderful and magical time in my life that I will cherish forever.

    There is a really excellent traveling exhibit on the Titanic that includes great historical photos and information about who was on the ship, and many, many artifacts that have been recovered from the ship. When you enter the exhibit, you are given a boarding pass that is a reproduction of an original ticket, complete with the name of a real passenger. At the end of the exhibit, there is a large display of names, and you can find out if your "character" actually lived or died. It's very moving, and I absolutely recommend it.

    I saw the exhibit last fall at the Denver Museum of Natural History, and it is at the Phoenix Science Center right now. I expect it will travel to most major cities. http://www.azscience.org/titanic.php

    Good production value, great special effects, horrible plot. I was 16 or 17 and my friend M dragged me to it about 65,000 times while it was still in theaters. She loves all that girly shit and she'll watch any stupid-ass "romantic comedy" named after an old love song. Loves Celine Dion, too. I don't know why we're friends, we have SFA in common.

    Best part of the movie was Kate Winslet's tits. More of that and less of the goofy stock characters would've worked.

    BTW, I hear the shoot was a nightmare. A lot of people were injured, a lot of them suffered hypothermia, and on the last day of shooting someone put PCP in the chowder and a few dozen people had to go to the hospital. I don't think they found out who did it. What a mess.

    I'm not usually a huge fan of big epic love productions...but this one holds a special place in my heart. I saw it once with my mother right after I left my ex...it was very sad for me then. Then a cpl months later(it was still in theaters!!) I saw it again with my now husband on one of our first dates. So it took on a whole new light for me.

    Now every time I see it, I am reminded of that transisional time in my life where I went from being so extrememly sad to deleriously happy! It feels inspirational to me.
    I"ve also gone to the exhibit with hubby when it was in Atlantic City. Lots of items they recovered on display in cluding a big chink of the hull. Pretty cool!

    Blah. I'll admit when I was 12 or 13, Titanic was the shit.

    Now I watch it, and it's just funny.

    First off, Kate Winslet (I love her and I think she's gorgeous) is twice Leo's size. I don't mean she's big, I mean's he's little. She looked like his mother, and when I watch it now, it really bothers me. They are so mismatched.

    Though the scene with the old couple in their bed, holding each other as the water pours in, still gets me.

    I feel like Titanic tried so hard to be a timeless epic, but it was just that, trying hard.

    Gone With the Wind will always be my standard :-)

    ^I agreez--I saw it a lil differently when I was 13. I saw it recently on tv from the time they first hit the iceberg, but I felt similar as you did....hard to explain exactly! I'd still watch it once more in the future tho.

    i saw the exhibit when it was in san francisco awhile ago and managed to snap two illegal photographs of the big hull chunk on my cell phone before a guard scolded me. it's a fantastic exhibit.

    ^That part bothered me when I saw it in the movies, only because I envsioned similar (if not exact) terror that those poor people endured when the real Titanic went down.

    Thought this was a great movie though, it made me....feel a lot. Sounds very inarticulate but it did, lol. Kinda took the viewer through a large emotional spectrum.

    Tough watching all those frozen, floating bodies. That was the most gripping part to me. The rest was nice special effects.

    The big gargantuan production and James Cameron got it the Oscar that LA Confidential should have won, hands down.

    It came out 11 years ago. What were you doing 11 years ago?
