A shining gemstone among American films

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2013)

This film is a masterpiece. Every aspect of its production weaves together in a beautiful tale of tragedy, peril, and romance. The tremendous amount of effort that James Cameron and the entire cast put into this production is the essential reason that Titanic should never be forgotten, and should always be considered one of the greatest movies of all time. This movie is a true work of art - and the acting, the production value, directing, visuals,and music score all contribute. I doubt very much that there will ever be a film that portrays the fate of Titanic with such elegance as this one. Although this film runs well over three hours, there is not one wasted scene. This deserved every Oscar it received, and I consider its rating of a 7.7/10 to be a borderline travesty; it should easily be in the top 250 if not an 8.5/10 or greater. I love this movie!
