Not a movie I chose to watch again this time, but one my daughter is getting hooked on. The most expensive movie in history, Titanic.
Pretty much anyone would know what happens to the Titanic, but this movie, unlike other disaster films has much more. Action? Check. It was written and directed by James Cameron, who had done two films about a guy called The Terminator prior to this, (as well as Aliens), so you know it will have good action sequences. But for the others who don't get drawn into action scenes, it has a very touching romantic story dealing with class structure, freedom of choice and the use of personal strength to bring happiness. This romance between Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) takes up the majority of the film and is what really involves the viewer. I actually took my Mum to the cinema to see this film because she'd enjoy that part.

Titanic, surprising most people, is a film that is well written, shot, directed and edited and is destined to rank among the top films for both entertainment value and as an example of how good films are made.
