Not my favorite movie by him, but I think the number of awards it has received, has resulted in an unreasonable amount of backlash. It's a great movie and also a surprisingly rewatchable one.
It's excellent, no doubt about it...but I agree with Winter_King's assessment of Cameron's stuff. Also, as good as Titanic is, LA Confidential was the better movie that year.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up and he's bloody stupid.
You could definitely make a case that Titanic is Cameron's best film . Its an unbelievable cinematic epic that was supposed to fail at the box office with its massive budget. I really enjoyed it and find it highly re watchable. The two leads had off the chart chemistry & a lot of the co stars were good in their roles too. The sinking sequence is one of (if not) the most jaw dropping sequence I've seen in theaters . Hollywood doesn't make movies like that anymore .

If you think that the Sinking Scene is something then you should try watching it without any music or characters speaking any lines in it.
Not my favorite (that's Aliens) but it remains an entertaining romance epic. Certainly undeserving of the 'hate' that followed its success for a time. I think that's subsided now in light of Avatar's success.

My #46 all time. To the OP, I've The Terminator at #24, so I'd say that's his true masterpiece. Titanic though remains outstanding technical tour de force with sound acting & drama that gets hated on for no reason.
Viewing it always conjures up its event's historical reality, which heavily threads throughout, & certainly is bookended up front by Cameron's direction.
Love story had potential but it got too silly to go along with … the uber evil fiancée and handcuffs etc . blah !
Saw it first run in the theater and was disgusted when the audience laughed at the bodies bouncing as the ship went down. Last "new" movie I have attended in a theater..but that's nothing to do with Cameron.
HATED hated hated the wailing of that song …. ugh !
MUCH Prefer A Night to Remember and the many documentaries made on the same subject.
teleadm The Unsinkable Molly Brown is fun …. Debbie Reynolds plays Kathy Bates in it
