Even George Lucas says Titanic would still stay at number one!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 1999)

Titanic was one of those films that people as a whole, embraced and took it to their hearts. Though there may be inaccuracies in this film, (and which films out there really do not), that's besides the point. Titanic was created by this great storyteller named James Cameron, who incorporated a fictional love story and wove it in the actual moments of the Titanic from its initial departure to its inevitable sinking. Knowing a good story when they see one, people literally came in droves to see such a masterpiece as this film was. If you are one of the few people in the world that missed this film, either try to catch it a local 2nd-run movie theatre (the choice of medium), or rent the Widescreen version of it.
Note: Early in 1999, there was talk that that prequel to Star Wars: Episode 4, A New Hope, would destroy box office numbers, and dethrone Titanic to be the all-time champion of all films. Personally, I dismissed these claims that this would happen.
Titanic was a movie phenomenon, while Star Wars: Episode One, will stay a marketing phenomenon, with its true success in merchandise sales. Titanic will be remembered as the film of the 1990's, not the first Star Wars prequel. I say to the naysayers who said Titanic would be toppled in the box office by Star Wars I, that you all will turn out to be saddened to find out that this will never come to happen. While George Lucas himself says that the Phantom Menace would be fourth on the list of films with the highest box-office receipts, I say that this Star Wars film will end up in fifth or sixth place.
Where Titanic would be on my top ten favourites list:
1.(tie) Braveheart, Glory, & Titanic 4. Raiders of the Lost Ark 5. The Shawshank Redemption 6. Malcolm X 7. Forrest Gump 8. Boyz N the Hood 9. Terminator 2: Judgment Day 10. Saving Private Ryan
