Fancyarcher Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I have no issue with Titanic being #1. It was #4 on my list, it's a film I really adore. Good list in general too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to another of these again. Regardless of how it may seem it doesn't actually take much time to calculate a few numbers on Excel, I spent far more time watching films for this list than calculating scores. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Titanic is one of the most important production of the post-classical film era for sure. I'm glad it took the top spot. To me, it really does define 1997 as a film year like no other film can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Titanic was #1? Really? Seriously, guys? Spoiler It would have occupied the same spot on my list had I submitted one. I'm really surprised that L.A. Confidential received just one #1 vote. That's typically the film most people point to as the worthiest Best Picture alternative to Titanic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 5 hours ago, Christmas baumer said: And to no one's surprise: Hide contents #1 Titanic Written and Directed by James Cameron Starring: Leo, Kate, Bill, Billy, Kathy and Victor Newman WW Box office: Do you really have to ask? A love story doomed by the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Rose Calvert, now 101 reminiscences her experience of the Titanic, to American oceanic explorers, and her emotional connection with another passenger, Jack. Jack was an American starving artist who won a trip home on the Ship of Dreams to a lucky hand in poker. His luck unfortunately ran out on April 15, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg in the northern Mid-Atlantic. Four days before the unsinkable ship began to fill with ice cold sea water, Rose and Jack's love story began. Rose was suppose to marry her mother's pick of a fine gentlemen Cal Hockley, who was only attracted to Rose by her beauty and family fortune. Rose however felt she was in a crowded room screaming for help with no one to hear. Jack did hear her, with someone to finally listen, Rose couldn't deny her feelings for Jack anymore. Their love came to a new level, when Rose asked Jack to draw her like one of his "french girls" wearing only the rarest diamond, the Heart of the Ocean. A fun filled, romantic love affair between Jack and Rose couldn't be denied and Cal's pockets began to feel empty and he became jealous of Jack searching for a way to compromise Rose's love for Jack. The Titanic then collides with a large iceberg and begins to sink. As the ship lowers itself into the depths of the ocean, Jack and Rose must fight death of the freezing water and await a rescue ship. 84 years later Rose hears of the Titanic and the discovery of her drawing and meets with the explorers, her memories are where our story begins. The Titanic is a powerful story of survival, love and heroism. A love story that will never let go of the hearts of the people around the world. The movie that shocked the world. It set records in many countries, made more money than any film in history (up to that point) and took home a record tying 11 Oscars. It's a film that will go on and on in the hearts of people near and far. Titanic is unquestionably the best film of 1997, according to your votes. Number of First Place Votes: 6 Number of Lists: 22 Academy Awards: 11 wins and 14 nominations Critic Comment: Titanic is an awesome achievement, a traditional Hollywood epic that dazzles your eyes, breaks your heart and shivers your soul. Rod Dreher: A Florida Newspaper Forum member comments: Greatest film of all time, without a single doubt in my mind. An utter classic that will live for the ages. The storytelling is just unbelievably captivating. I've seen this film countless times and I can never get bored of it. Also, best music in a film, period. The most moving soundtrack I've ever heard in my life .A+ @Noctis Favourite film of all time. Everything about it is perfect in my eyes, and ears. A+ @Heretic Technically it's a great film, storywise it's a little iffy for me. I'm not big on romance in movies. And the scene where Billy Zane is shooting at the them while the ship is sinking is laughable. Still I give it a B @DARth DAR The most emotionally galvanizing film I've ever seen or will see. The epitome of perfection. 10/10 baumer If you want to see me cry, just pop in Titanic. @Jay Hollywood Yes, even I, cold to the bone Tele, like Titanic. But it's not in my top ten for the year. It needed more mud and chickens. @Lor San Tele James Cameron knows how to make a grown man cry. 9/10 @darkelf Anyone that hated Titanic must be in two state: 1) They are ill-behaved in their real life, like to get jealous at seeing someone achieve a successful that hardly accomplished in history. 2) [mod edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
