So... do you think Jack could've fitted on the board or not? 🤔 (Sorry James!)

I remember coming back home after watching Titanic. My father said “there’s never been a movie like this and there never will be one again like this”’. Hold’s true to this date. Titanic is truly a movie of a lifetime.

Titanic is a film I can watch a 100 times and never get bored of

Gotta love the fact that James Cameron has a sense of humour. What a cool guy and he is one of the best of all time.

This is probably the most happiest James Cameron interview I've seen. I like this interviewer guy, he always seems to make people feel really chill and just be themselves.

James Cameron may have two $2 billion dollar movies under his belt, but he still regards himself as an underdog director because he reaches for the impossible when the odds are always stacked against him.

Titanic is simply one of the greatest movie ever made!!! James Cameron is one of the greatest directors of all time!!

Titanic’s box office performance is one of the greatest comebacks in human history. Everyone thought the film was gonna failed, and it did the exact opposite.

One of the classic movies I've ever seen❤

[Mortikus]

James Cameron is gonna go down as one of the greatest directors of all time.

James Cameron is known as one of the most influential and extraordinary filmmakers in Hollywood. Titanic was & still is his masterpiece! He dedicates his life of the film and the real Titanic.

No movie will ever top Titanic, I swear to God.

He has made all these epic sci/fi blockbusters but this movie is his best creation. What an epic romantic movie made by James Cameron.

[franzbartolome]

Him and Christopher Nolan is just a blessing to the film industry like come on man I am glad I was in the same era as when they had released the masterpieces of their lifetimes

I literally saw this movie 3 times a week at theater with my best friend! We would take turns buying tickets during our lunch hour because all the shows were still selling out! The only movie I’ve ever seen that many times. I even brought the soundtrack that’s devotion! 🥰

[akbar_khalid]

Ali Plumb! What an amazing interviewer. I've become a huge fan of this guy. Every chat with him is natural. Not a generic reaction but an honest expression. From both side. Love you bro. Keep up the amazing work.

[audirection]

Leo is the best cast for Jack Dawson! No lie! I can't imagine someone else making "I'm the king of the world" better than this!

[amenenema]

Say what you want about this dude, call him a difficult asshole, whatever...he is a freaking genius who cares an INCREDIBLE amount about the movies he puts out in the world. He takes time and his movies genuinely move me. The man doesn't miss and I think he might be the director I have the most respect for.

Thanks to James Cameron & his team to create such a "EPIC MASTERPIECE"….!!!!
