A modern classic romance

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2005)

The best selling film at the world wide box office has a really bad rating on this website. Agreed this film is not to everyones taste but neither is Casablanca. The main fault of Titanic and why it is rated lower than Casablanca is that more people have seen titanic. Thus, with its split opinion, the film is destined to appear on top 100 shows on TV but will suffer when it comes to ratings of this kind. the performances are excellent and every dollar of Cameron's'budget is up there on screen.
And for once there is an engaging storyline to accompany the sinking ship. The most notable performance is Billy Zane's performance as we all grit our teeth watching him as the snob villain of the piece. The event that everyone waits for does not disappoint but the main reason why Titanic deserves its place on the top 250 is because the storyline that accompanies it is brilliant. there's my two cents
