James Cameron's Titanic

I found a post about "me movies," movies that really aren't good, but that I (or you, for your "me movie") like anyway.

My "me movie" is Cameron's Titanic.

I know that the movie won 11 Oscars plus any number of other awards and nominations, but really, the dialogue is poor and the story contrived. But that's not even the point, because that movie isn't about Rose and Jack. It's about the title character. The story of Jack and Rose is perhaps the world's largest MacGuffin, enabling Cameron to explore the first the ship, and then the disaster and its immediate aftermath.

As a Titanic buff, what more could I want?
