          Titanic was good, many people dislike it just because they are in the "too cool for school" stage and dont want to admit they enjoed it. It shouldnt of won as many as it did though, ill give you that, but overall its a well made film. I only have two problems with it. 1) the script (pretty corny) 2) that goddamn celine dion song! damn thats annoying!

            . . . but most of us dislike it because there's nothing in it that's not cliche, it's terribly written and acted, and it's milking tragedy for the sake of a sopping wet love story.

                Back to TOM JONES.
                Yeah, it was terrible. And I think the original post guy meant the worst movie to ever win Best Picture.
                It's pointless, and I wound up hating the main character.

                  Couldn't disagree more. Absolutely delightful! (I'm talking about "Tom Jones" here - not "Titanic".) I guess one man's elixir is another man's poison.

                    Then you are fortunate to be living in the 21st century and not in mid-18th century England.

                      Yes. In "some" respects at least.

                        That makes a lot of sense.

                            had the guy been nigerian, would you have dared said "truly an idiot - african i presume?" - and no, i'm not american, i just can't stand that kind of comment.
                            and by the way, the importance of a script is much bigger in america than, say, europe, where they consider directing makes the quality of a movie.

                                      Okay, so apart from the script and the musical score it was okay? No worries. I would add the bit where he kills himself for her. Talk about shmaltz; in real life he might have tried to hang on a bit longer, I reckon
