Ten Years Ago Today, TITANIC Released!

GreenTeaDisease

wow, I am old. that was 10 years ago?

I somehow managed to see this piece of crap 3 times in the theater. One group of friends wanted to go, so I went, then I was out with other people who decided to go, then my grandmother really wanted me to take her, and you can't say no to grandma...

blah.

i saw it when i was 14, and my friends made me go, insisting that it was the best movie of all time. it was kind of cool for a movie-going experience, because it was a packed house and the crowd was so into it (laughing, applauding and crying buckets). but other than that, the story was pretty lame.

then it ended up staying at my town's movie theatre for three straight months! i tolerated my friend's obsession with it, but the final straw was when i went to my friend's house and her room was literally wallpapered with pictures of leo, including the cieling! blech....

OMG OMG OMG!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!! Oh! MY!!! GOD!!!!

Haha, sorry, but that was such a fffffin chick flick! I did go to the Titanic exhibit with Patrickredeyes when he came to Colorado, instead of the Chris Cornell designer jeans postponement, that exhibit was amazing...Sadly, I died, but my wife and child lived, so I guess that counts for something!
If you have a chance to see the Titanic exhibit, it is really cool, TONS of actual artifacts from the Titanic, you walk through cabins with furniture/decorations from the actual titanic, there is a hallway that looks like the hallway on the shit, it was awesome..
Check that chit out!

I was twenty when I saw this in the theater. The multiplex at city Walk in Universal Studios. The place was packed, it was in the winter so they had the heat pumping into the theater with what seemed like jet engines. I was so fucking miserable, sweating my ass off, and then I had my girlfriend in hysterics next to me cause, "they're so in love, and they just met...waka waka waka". Puleashe

I saw it the day it opened. I was taking a film class in high school at the time too. I loved it. And so did eveyone else. Of course it later became the cool thing to hate it, but I remember everyone loving it up until that backlash.

It was awesome.

wow, means that 10 years ago my grandpa died....crazy!....we went to see it just to kind of get away from the adults planning the funeral and stuff.....kinda weird.....opening scene when they flashed back a truck drove by with Francis written across it and that is my grandpa's name....we all of course thought it was crazy....perfect place to go cry too -in a movie theatre........

this is what I can't understand... where did all those people go? At the time it was the greatest film ever made and everyone was in complete agreement

they saw Romeo&Juliet not too long after, put them right off DiCaprio altogether, they renounced their apppreciation.

I liked Romeo & Juliet too... I had a crush on that Jesse Bradford guy... think that was his name

I liked Titanic when it came out, only thing that bugged me was the Kate Winslet looked a lot older than Leo Di Caprio.

It's not a movie I would watch again today though, and it got way too hyped, that ended killing it.

I loved "Romeon and Juliet" when it came out. Cried like a fool even though I knew everyone that died, was going to die.

I'm not ashamed to say that it blew me away when I first saw it at the cinema. But then I am a big girly wus!
I remember thinking it was a load of old guff when I saw it again some time later on video.

Kate Winslet's a bit of alright, but I wouldn't sit through three hours of daft nonsense, just to see her backside. Wading through Kenneth Branagh's massacre of Hamlet was bad enough.
