Er... I just watched the first half of Titanic. I'm a huge movie buff, and my favorite movies are always changing. However, one thing is for sure- Titanic will always be my all-time favorite movie.
I was five when it first came out, and my mom (who wouldn't let me watch a PG-13 movie until the day I turned 13 and still is iffy sometimes) took me to see it because she didn't have a babysitter.
Maybe it's my favorite because it was the first large-scale, non-Disney cartoon movie I had ever seen. That is, unless you count Jerry McGuire when I was 4, but that was because my Grandma was on babysitting duty and wanted to see it. So my eyes and ears were apparently covered the whole time, and to this day I have no clue what Jerry McGuire is about, but I've been told that there wasn't all that much for my grandmother and my (extremely angry) mother to be worried about.
I love period movies. And Leonardo DiCaprio (if you look past his utter hotness) was great, as was Kate Winslet (who is one of my favorite actresses).
When I was little, I used to watch the second tape over and over again because I wanted to see the ship sink over and over again. Now I start crying...
I was looking through boxes of VHS tapes a few months ago, and we have three VHS tapes of Titanic and my special edition 3 disc DVD.
I love it.
