I'm here, I'm queer, and I loved Avatar. But no movie comes close to Titanic.
I enjoyed Avatar over Titanic, which is so overrated.
I was 12 or 13 when Titanic came out and at the time there was this Titanic-mania going on, from kids and teens to the adults. I had that same year a Titanic mousepad, a video game for the PC (it was actually an incredible game), and probably a Titanic-themed puzzle. I know I had a whole shelf of books... my interest was historical, and I just happen to have found that film extremely well-done. The costumes, the sets, the accuracy of the construction of the ship were absolutely phenomenal. I actually think the weakest part of the movie is the love story and I can understand why it's mocked (particularly some of their lines).
Fun fact: There was actually a
Titanic the musical in 1997 that won the Tony Award and the original score to that is damn good.
