Read More As a married man in his early 40's, I must say I have seen this movie at least 6 times before today. I had the chance to enjoy this movie with my wife and two teen boys (their first time). I am so glad they could appreciate the romance of the movie as well as deal with the length of the movie. Both of my boys have loved the music since it was released, but never watched the film because of the chic flick image. It made me proud that they could appreciate such a film.

Yes, I boycotted this flick for nearly 10 years. Yes, I thought it would be long, boring and stupid. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised.
Rather than tell us something we already know - a big, ritzy ship sank - this movie weaves some unknown tales we wish were true.
OK, it is one of those poor boy meets rich girls love stories but it is coupled with dimensions that are amusing and interesting, not to mention characters compelling enough that we actually care about them.
Heck, we care enough to even hate some of them.
We are also carted back to 1912, enraged at the social hierarchy and relating enough to even wonder what we would have done had we been on that sinking ship.
Highlight: When everyone is drowning in the icy northern Atlantic and all their skin is a bluish white like a scene in a Detroit punk club.
Lowlight: The hokey heavenly scene.
Rating: (1-10) 8.71

It is perhaps one of the great movies of our time, with a truly stirring subject and a fantastic cast. But what do I remember the most? Aside from the famous last words of the ship's musicians (which, I will admit, stirred me to tears), I remember a 3 hr. blur punctuated by "JACK! JACK! OH JACK!...ROSE! STUPID ROSE!" I laugh about it now, but I still want my three hours back! One good point though; in a time when revisionist history is Hollywood's M.O, I am glad to say, the ship still sinks, instead of being miraculously saved at the last minute by a brilliant, but psychotic engineer or Indiana Jones who is trying to escape the Nazi's and a savage tribe of Irish head-hunters, while carrying a priceless artifact back to the US.
