One of the few movies I am glad I can't remember watching.

Titanic is a good movie. Kate Winslet in particular was good. the movie was too long and way over rated. it got more attention than it deserved. the special effects were good. and there were some good actors. but this is not the greatest movie ever made for goodness sake.

It cured my insomnia. So for that I'm grateful.

I rooted for the iceberg. . .

I've always been given crap about this, so I must ask. Is it bad that I laughed as Leo froze?

I have posted this elsewhere and I note it here. I could have edited this movie down to about ten minutes as follows.

(a) nude scene

(b) Iceberg dead ahead!

(c) Glug!

I'm sure that they could have made a great movie about the Titanic. They could have talked about the construction of the boat, including how the high sulfur content steel used was brittle at cold temperatures. They could have discussed more about weather patterns and icebergs in the Atlantic.  They could have emphasized the influence the influence that boats like the Titanic could make on cross-Atlantic travel and commerce.

But instead this poor excuse for a movie had almost nothing to do with the Titanic itself.  It was a poorly written love story with an annoying soundtrack, and the movie was way too long.
