Titanic...

This year is the 10th year anniversary of the release of the all time blockbuster "Titanic". A worldwide boxoffice of 1.8 billion, 14 Academy awards nominations, 11 wins..till now its still the all time champ. It was such a phenomenon when it was released back in 1997...and I was one of those who got hooked. I watched the movie 7 times in the theatre...got the collector edition dvd, posters, postcards, screenplay, books and I even made a model of the titanic.
Till now its the only movie I can watch over and over again and not feel bored. The cinematography, the visual effects and the story, its historically accurate backstory and the director's attention to detail is simply amazing. The first movie to break the 200 million production budget but also the first movie to shatter all boxoffice records including the 1 billion dollar mark. This is one film that truly deserves all the awards it was given... at least IMHO.
