Titanic

OK, so I cry at weddings. Every wedding I have ever attended. And this past weekend was no exception.

I also cry when I watch Titanic, which I am doing at this very moment. Watching Titanic, that is; not crying. Yet.

It also occurred to me that, when I was a kid, my absolute favorite disaster movie was The Poseidon Adventure. Which, now, when I watch it, seems a little cheesy — or at least the first 45 minutes or so, anyway — but, overall, still a pretty good movie, special-effects wise.

Same for Titanic: I think the flashbacks with Old Rose seem a bit cheesy, at times, but the effects are pretty cool. And the love story between Young Rose and Jack is most excellent. (Helps that I adore Kate Winslet AND Leonardo DiCaprio.)
