There is a difference indeed. But those scenes are exactely what I would call iconic, not just memorable. Because they are widely recognized and well-established. Agree to disagee.

Well they are widely recognized for being over the top corny that doesn't make them iconic in my book.  None of the acting in Titanic is iconic that is why no one in the cast was nominated for a Academy Award.

TFA was never really trying to be the "be all, end all" Star Wars movie.

It's main goals were to recalibrate the franchise to bring back the heart/fun/emotion of the OT and introduce us to the new characters and give them an "adventure" to get their feet wet.

That's all. Oh it gave a nice send off to Han Solo. So it accomplished most of the things it set out to do. 

We know VIII and IX and is where the story will get deeper and more complicated. That's just how a Star Wars trilogy works, you can't blow your wad in the first act.

Some of the criticisms are overblown anyway, lets say Rey was on tropical rainforest planet and the Starkiller Base instead of a planet was a giant dildo shaped superweapon called the Snoke Schlong. I mean yeah that's "different" ... that doesn't make it "better". I like the iconography of the desert landscape, there's something about it that just fits Star Wars to a tee.

Edit:

My, bad somewhat overlooked Winslet and Stuart being nominated in the actress category but neither one won or had even the slightest chance of winning so my point is still somewhat valid.  Its funny that DiCaprio got a Golden Globe award nomination for Titanic since its probably a lot closer to one of his worst acting performances then one of his best.

Except that you cannot compare just the US to worldwide. For example, unadjusted, there are 3 Star Wars movies in the Top 8 but only 1 Star Wars movie in the Top 20 worldwide.

Here's a different list:

haven't seen it. hate star wars. I downloaded 1-6 to start watching it on my "ROAD TO VII" but after the episode one I was like how can people like this. bad writing and acting and effects in one.

But I worked through it and watched till episode 3. Then was like ok im done with star wars. I just dont get the hype.

I wish i was one of you but I can't be!!!

You must be the only person in this world that doesnt know that episode I is pure shit hated for 95% of fans. And so is episode II. The classics are IV and V.

Really? Everyone knows at least one scene from Titanic.

Memorable and iconic are two completly different things.
