TFA is not a classic, who said that? But Titanic is definitevely not a classic either. Titanic is a classic of cinema just as much as the Backstreet Boys are a classic of music. Nothing at all.

Titanic is an instant classic.

It winnig al lot of awards doesn't make it a instant classic.  Once in a blue moon the Academy Awards just goes with what is popular that was the case with Titanic.  Also both 1997 and 1998 where pretty weak when it comes to quality movie that is one of the main reasons it made that much money because it didn't have a lot of competition.  That being said when it comes to movies that where release in 1997 Life is Beautiful, Princes Mononoke, L.A. Confidential, Boogie Nights, As Good as It Gets and Good Will Hunting are all better then Titanic and better qualified to be called instant classics.
