Much, much better film than Titanic.


Better script? I agree. Better film? I disagree.

Agreed. Movies like Pulp Fiction and LA Confidential had better scripts and were more cleverly written. But when you consider what Cameron accomplished with Titanic, it's one of the greatest movies of all time. Yes the love story was a little cheesy, but that's really the only bad thing about the movie. Cameron needed to come up with a fictional story to convey a real life tragedy, and I feel he did a pretty decent job. Few movies in history can match the technical aspects of the Titanic. For those saying that Gladiator would win the best picture out of these movies, Titanic is a much better movie than Gladiator.

Other than the script and acting, Titanic has it beat in the categories of directing, music, editing, cinematography and production design.

It's a much better produced and executed film.

Exactly. People forget that Best Picture Oscar goes to the producers of the movie, so it's really about which movie had the best overall execution, in which not many movies in history would beat Titanic.
