    TITANIC Rerelease. Anyone going....?

    I will definitely be there on April 4th to witness TITANIC again on the big screen where it deservedly requires to be "experienced."

    I will man up and admit that I saw TITANIC theatrically in its' original run probably ten times (took my girlfriend at the time at least three times and took my Mom twice). Heck, even MIB and I went to see TITANIC! It was, IMHO, the last great event movie, largely because it didn't start out as an event movie. It started, if memory serves, actually with fairly small BO returns and then, as word of mouth spread, it just sort of became a phenomenon.

    I know it gets ridiculed a lot and I know that EVERYONE (including me) is STILL sick to death of hearing Celine Dion sing "My Heart Will Go On", but the movie itself is still, to me, a masterpiece of filmmaking and Cameron really is able to completely immerse you into that world for two plus hours. Did I cry during the movie? Hell yes I did, maybe not so much because of the movie, but because of the unneeded and tragic loss of life that surrounded the event simply due to the societal classifications of the age.

    So, anyone else planning on going "back to TITANIC...?"

      already saw the ship sink the first time it came out, don't need to see it go down in 3D. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Kate Winslets boobs in 3D.

        I also like Titanic, many like to hate on it, but it's really a very good movie.

            This is the kind of movie my son would eat up but its got that sex scene in the car so its off the list until he's 18. Just for the record, I think Leo DiCaprio is THE BEST actor in Hollywood today.

              I was...I taped it, and that's enough for me.

                Not better than Daniel Day Lewis...but yes...DiCaprio is up there for sure.

                  Fantastic movie that was meant to be seen on a movie screen, and if you didn't see it there you really should. I still love Celine Dion singing that song!

                      Now that I know the boat sinks, it would no longer be a surprise ending...

                      I might be persuaded if they replace Celine Dion with a couple of CG muppets and a catchy pop/rock song...

                        Terrible, terrible movie.
                        Historically inaccurate, cloying and contrived.
                        Hate it.

                          I never cared fot the film. I thought it was an agonizing three hours that felt considerably longer. Full frontal Kate Winslet in her prime in 3D definitely sounds like my bag, but not enough to sit through the rest of the flick again.

                            Holler at me Emeraldknight and I'll go see it with you. I'm not sure why the film gets ragged on. A very popular movie by Terminator's James Cameron. Plus it's the only film that ever put that tragedy in it's proper perspective. I very much liked this movie. Haven't seen it in a while either so it will be cool to see it again.

                              Part of me feels this way: that Celine Dion song is an inexorable pox on humanity that I've suffered through too many times already. I don't care if it's the greatest movie on earth - I don't care if Kate Winslet jumps out of the screen doing naked contortions down the aisle before driving me home and humping my brains out - I don't care if James Cameron has found a way to shoot beams of pure energy from the screen and I'm given total everlasting enlightenment - and I don't care if Leonardo DiCaprio's acting was 'pretty good' - just the thought of paying to watch a movie with that song in it makes me uncomfortably angry.
