10 Movies That Aren’t As Bad As Everyone Says

5. Titanic

When people heard the guy behind The Terminator was making a massive film version of the sinking of the Titanic everyone was braced for another Waterworld-level flop. What James Cameron did that the two Kevin's couldn't was not only make a brilliant film, but craft something so unbelievably epic it just had to be seen. Even now it's the sort of film you just can't turn off if you happen to catch it on TV.

For over a decade the highest grossing film ever and scooping a record eleven Oscars, Titanic was an undisputed hit. But along with that came the backlash. Initially starting thanks to Leonardo DiCaprio's dreamboat status making the film a big hit amongst teenage girls (think the Twilight hate), many of the pre-release complaints (we know how it ends, it's three hours long) remerged as time went by and the film now sits as a successful, if too saccharine hit.

It's easy to joke that the dialogue is corny or hate on the fact that a film about a tragedy that claimed over 1500 lives spends much of its time on an entirely fictional drama, but that's thinking on too small a scale. Titanic is a proper Hollywood epic and needs to be considered in it's broad strokes to truly appreciate the scale of what Cameron achieved.

And for the record, they couldn't have both fit on that door. Watch the film; they try to and fail.
