Titanic
A movie of pure wonder. A landmark.
I was 11 when this came out. Before this, there had been big movies; Jurassic Park, The Lion King. Nothing compared to this. There was one cinema in my home town, with one screen. And this movie dominated for 15 weeks solid. And there was constantly lines. I’ve never seen anything like it, before or since.
And it deserved those lines. This is a feat of pure filmmaking magic. Everything clicks; two perfectly cast leads (no wonder Leo skyrocketed after this), production values through the roof & the keen directorial eye of a visionary in James Cameron. A high benchmark in blockbuster cinema
