1. Titanic is the greatest movie of all time it’s over for me
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Remember The Titans
4 No Country For Old Men
5. Reservoir Dogs
I could go into how it was the perfect time to make the movie, a Titanic survivor in 1997 who was 16-17 during the movie would be 101. You literally couldn’t have made the movie any year later if you’re James Cameron and have a PRESENT-DAY (1997) survivor, realistically. A survivor in 1997 would be that age and you can’t feign anybody older in a present-day movie as Titanic did at the time. It’s last time to come out in theaters with that realistic of scenario would be 1997 or 1998. They got it done and after that wouldn’t be possible.
Leo and Kate Winslet. I don’t have to go into that.
The “I’m on Top of the World scene” showing you how the ship works, and an hour later in the movie the scene with the two dudes in the Crow’s Nest seeing the iceberg, to when Captain Smith says, “Well I believe you will get your headlines, Mr. Ismay.” after they’ve struck the iceberg, and you see the panic of that same crew and sequence of how the ship works, are two of the greatest 1-2 punch scenes ever.
