I like the artistic direction, the ost, the photography and the special effects, is a movie with virtues i wont deny that, but the movie as a whole is far from great, is just a good product, That's all I'm saying.

Specially when the story and dialogue are weak as fuck. I guess I can't enjoy Cameron's films (except Terminator 2). I don't think what he did with Alien, I despise Avatar, I hate Titanic... The man is almost unbearable for me. He's not my taste.

At least Teminator 2 is pretty great on its genre, and Aliens was OK, I like the first one 100 times more but I dont dislike the sequel, I wouldn't say that Aliens is better than Titanic though, but I think I like it more.

But yeah other than that, James Cameron is not for me xD

That's the problem with Aliens, it's not a bad film, but it loses all the claustrophobic and creepy atmosphere from the first one and he turned the franchise into an action movie, which is a very drastic change. It's a very good action movie actually, just not what I want from Alien franchise.

Glad to hear it. I am a fan of TFA, but its nothing more than A New Hope remake, with a worse villain and an annoying female lead.

Lol. I never imagined I've seen someone saying that Titanic is better than A Clockwork Orange. Well, everything is a matter of tastes in the end. Nah, A Clockwork Orange is miles better, don't fool yourself xDDDD.

Well even though I don't think that Titanic is a great movie I still like it better then A Clockwork Orange.  Kubrick as a whole is pretty overrated I like Spartacus, The Shinning and the first half of Full Metal Jacket.  When it comes to british directors he is not even in the same league as Alfred Hitchcock.

Here's a fact - Titanic has a lot of iconic scenes. Not so with TFA.

Even though I kinda like Titanic I wouldn't call any of its scenes iconic.

Those are ones of most iconic scenes that I've known about. Almost every single person I know recognize the scenes with ease. I can't not think about the first scence whenever I see someone opens their arms to the wind. Surly, it can't be just me. Along with the "come back" sence as well.

Oh yeah, the biggest factor to know if a movie is good is the number of Oscars, Whats next? The best music is the one with more Grammys? Jeeez

And what metric do you use to call them classicss? Your subjective opinion? Ah, come on. You know you don't have anything to support your claim and the same applies to Chris Hu. Unless you provide a more universal way to call the classics, Winning more Oscars, and Bafta awards and many many others, is a good metric.

See you later.

A fair amount of time the Oscars, Grammies and even the BAFTA and other awards give out awards based on what is most popular instead of what is the best and a lot of times the best isn't even awarded or nominated.  A prime example for that would be Ennio Morricone's score for Once Upon a Time in America it was awarded for and won a BAFTA and a Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award.  It also was nominated for but did not win a Golden Globe Award.  But the Academy Awards completly ingnored it since it didn't even get nominated.

I like both of them, and wouldn't be bothered which one made more money.

Memorable maybe but not iconic, there is a huge difference between memorable and iconic.

When it comes to movies Titanic is in the same league as Shakespeare in Love both won a lot of Oscars but neither one are are great or iconic or instant classics. Also even though Titanic won 11 Oscars it got no nominations for any of its actors or actresses.
