That 0.4 difference is actually proving the point I would say! With that many votes 7.7 vs 8.1 is pretty huge also if you look at the other films in the top 10 you'll see the males rate them higher (+0.3 for ANH, godfather +0.3). I think Titanic is disadvantaged on this site when it comes to aggregated ratings as we're a male dominated site.
Well it's pretty hard to debunk the first sentence... wait are you suggesting the young males in question are on this site?
I'm messing I get your point.
This is odd quite odd rukaio101 personally attacked JCS first, perhaps bias has come into this decision? Rukaio101's avatar (profile pic) is literally from a Japanese children's cartoon called Gintama (a shounen anime)... this comes across as a destain for JCS.
Wonderful post Two Misfits! I don't know how you can watch this film without getting emotion because I can't even hold back the tears on the rewatches. Jim fires on all cylinders which is why it won 11 oscars and is the best performing theatrical box office run in post home cinema history.
Heres a Jimbo theory that may or may not be true. Most posters here will not have seen it in Cinema so immersion isn't a sure thing. The problem with the IMDB generation of film watchers is they can't watch films without distractions. On their phones all the way through the film... on their computer but got Titanic on in the background??? No wonder they don't feel the emotions.
Titanic and Avatar rely on 100% attention which is why they're regarded as films at their best when seen in Cinema.
well said
get out
Those 39 need to get their act together! I think the fact this is a male dominated site and that the young males don't like to admit they loved Titanic (gernalising (we have heroes like TOG)) really hurts it's chances.
GODFATHER
Number 1 Placements: 3
Top 5 Placements: 5
Top 10 Placements: 9
Top 25 Placements: 14
I doubt Titanic is going to do much better than these scores so I'm thinking top 5 might be out of reach
Also this could suggest that Raiders is 8th as I don't see Empire or Fellowship dropping but Raiders could
That's really interesting, wonder what to take away from only being on the 2012 list?
Perhaps the theatre experience being grander than watching it at home came into play, or maybe hollywood shoving crappy 3D down everyone's throats drew resentment. I'm going with the former.
