Why do so many peolpe have 'Titanic' in the worst section?

That was a fantastic cinema experience. The effects they used to recreate the famous liner in all its glory were fantastic... and not to mention the brilliant last hour in which we are glued to the screen as they show the dramatic story of the sinking. I thought it was all done so well - a brillant film. The true feeling of what it may have been like was shown very, very well. Performances were good, the music was excellent... and its great they added the extra facts like ' the band played on until the very end'.

A fantastic movie experiece. If you dont like the love story, just ignore it and enjoy they fantastic effects and dramatic final scenes the movie brilliantly provides.

Great movie.

Great movie.
I've heard a lot of people say how bad it was, and I think the reason probably is the romance. I thought it was a very good movie.

By far the best: Shawshank Redemption (whoever created that movie is pure genius)

Then: Green Mile, LOTR Trio, Some other movie about a war.


Worst: That Santa Movie involving Tim Allen, some other movie that was shown on the Hallmark channel a few weeks ago, plenty of other movies that I neglect to recall the names of.. a movie a few years back about some Japanese or Chinese woman.. and how she died.. or how the guy she was in love with died or something, Cheaper by the Dozen

My best (rockers) and worst (shockers) of all time are -

Rockers
Braveheart - Just excellent
The Ring (both the 3 Japanese originals and the US remake) - Classically chilling horror without pointless and excessive gore
Sumo Do, Sumo Don't - Touching "Cool Runnings-esq" movie
Kung Pow! - Funny as!
Shawshank Redemption - Powerful and moving
The Passion of the Christ - wonderful
The Last Emporer - Very involving movie

Shockers
Jason X - Crap, no other words for it
Jeepers Creepers - At the end, I just said - "What the fricken hell was that"?
Daredevil - Ben Affleck as a superhero? Not remotely believable
House of the Dead - Gross and pointlessly violent and evil
Cabin Fever - Pointless drivel, not even scary and what plot there was was very hard to grasp

Alot of horror movies are very hit and miss for me, some are downright spooky or screamingly scary, and others get washed away in a tide of gore and pointless violence.
