That scene always brought an audible gasp from the audience 

 

Now that I think about it, this scene and the reveal in Minority Report play pretty similarly.

i will not stop attacking titanic backlash, this is the most ridiculous stunt to hate titanic.....

Haters clearly don't understand how emotion is part of the humanity and Titanic is full of emotional element and therefore, a true humanity in cinematic world. If a movie make so many people left the theater in tears, clearly haters lost their heart and intelligence 

Haters clearly don't understand, how Titanic mixed the spectacle visual experience and top-class technology filmmaking process with emotional element and sense of melancholy. The movie proved that visual sensation and emotional experience are not mutually exclusive.

Eyes and Heart are synced, but hater's brain aren't synced with blood

 

I have seen thousand of great film as proclaimed by many, i dont think in what way the greatness of titanic is lesser than those

"Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!"

 

Top 5 Placements: 4

Top 10 Placements: 9

Top 25 Placements: 16

Previous Rankings: 2016 (8, +2), 2014 (4, -2), 2013 (15, +9), 2012 (9, +3)

Awards Count: Won 11 Oscars, Including Best Picture

Tomatometer: 93% (8.7 Avg Rating)

Box Office: 377m (563.7m Adjusted)

Synopsis: Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.

Critic Opinion: "The pleasures of "The Return of the King" are too numerous to recount in brief. Now that the trilogy is complete, we can take the full measure of Peter Jackson's extraordinary accomplishment. "The Lord of the Rings" stands as a model of epic storytelling. The final installment runs well over three hours, but Jackson's modulations of tone, space, scale and intensity are so expertly gauged you never feel pummeled or bored. Just gripped from start to finish.

 

"The Return of the King" interweaves two strands, one vast, one intimate. In the former, all the kingdoms of Middle-earth unite in an attempt to stave off Sauron's armies of darkness, and to restore Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) to the throne. This is the cast-of-thousands part, full of swirling camera work, can-you-top-this stunts and magnificent besieged cities. In the latter is the increasingly tortured, weary figure of Frodo (Elijah Wood) as he enters the terrifying realm of Mordor, where he must return the ring to the fire. On his hobbit's back rests the fate of mankind. We've known that from the beginning. In the third and final film, we feel it.  The second installment was better than the first, and this one is best of all. It has spectacular action scenes and imaginary creatures, and it's by far the most moving chapter. The performances have deepened. These characters don't pop back up like cartoon figures, unscraped by experience. They've been altered by their quest, and the hurt gives flavor to the glory. If there's a flaw in this jewel it's a generous one: Jackson gives us too many endings. Understandably, he wants to be faithful to Tolkien. Or maybe, like us, he just couldn't tear himself away."  - David Ansen

User Opinion: "Oooooh that's good." - @Jack Nevada

 

"One of the greatest movie achievements in modern day history, and one of my top favorites!"  - @Warhorse

 

"The last really epic film Hollywood has made. It's the best and the most powerful emotionally of the trilogy." - @Joel M

Commentary: The Lord of the Rings makes it into the top 10 for a second time, this time with the closing chapter of the trilogy, or better known as "the ending that never ends".  The Return of the King is the movie that matched Titanic in Oscar wins, making Peter Jackson's Kiwi trilogy the movie franchise that has officially won (and been nominated for) the most Oscars in history.  The Middle Earth fantasy epics rejuvenated the genre, even though nothing ever came close to matching it for 10 years, until of course HBO started up their Thrones series.  The Return of the King is an emotion packed finale, with powerful and moving sequences, as well as some of the grandest battle sequences you'll ever see in a movie.  The Return of the King made just under 50% of the lists submitted, and had an average score of 4.8.
