10 Movies That Didn't Know When To End

2. Titanic

Another film that doesn't know how to start as well as how to end, Titanic spends almost half its run-time setting the stage before the iceberg hits the supposedly "unsinkable" ship. Though it's all ravishingly shot and the characters of Jack and Rose are intermittently engaging to watch, there's a wealth of "character development" that could have been cut; we get it, Kate Winslet doesn't really want to be with Billy Zane, now stop bashing us over the head with this cheesy class drama.

An easy way to lose some time is by chopping most of the scenes set in the present day, in which Old Rose (Gloria Stewart) relays her story to Bill Paxton and his crew. Furthermore, once Jack dies, the film drags on for another 10-15 minutes, with an extended epilogue which tells us everything that happened to everyone in painstaking detail, even if it is inevitably the part that has middle-aged women weeping themselves into a frenzy.

At 194 minutes, Cameron could have at least brought it down under the 3 hour mark. Jeez...
