Titanic was a great movie, truly awesome.
Apparently the plot was too complicated for some folks...
ET, Lion King, Space Odysyeyeyo, Easy Rider, and all Star Wars movies after the first one, yes, they are not so great/or suck films that didn’t warrant the praise they got. I’m sure I can think of a few more...
Chick gets naked, ship hits iceberg, ship sinks, what's so complicated about that?
Fargo, yes, I hated that thing...
The whole movie, I’m like... “ok, where does it get interesting? No, I said interesting, not a big bloody gore fest..”
How about a list of truly great movies:
M.A.S.H.
North by Northwest
Idiocracy
Dr. Strangelove (just for the line “there is no fighting in the War Room”)
Contact
I disagree -- the original Star Wars was groundbreaking, but otherwise not a particularly good film. The characters were cartoonish cutouts more than anything with real depth. But the scope and the use of visual effects was amazing at the time of its release.
In my opinion, the only good movie in the series, on all fronts, was the second (The Empire Strikes Back), which, coincidentally, was the one Lucas had the least direct involvement in. Just sayin'.
