A DVD review from The Movie Snob:

Titanic (A-). I recently stayed home from work sick - what better time to watch a three-hour Best Picture that I had never gotten around to seeing? Frankly, I wasn't expecting it to be very good, having heard over the years that the plot is simplistic and the characters two-dimensional. And those criticisms are valid, but I still really enjoyed the movie. I thought the "Lady and the Tramp" romance between Rose and Jack was reasonably believable, and the depiction of the doomed ship's last hours was simply amazing. It must have been incredible on the big screen. I'd say it was well worth the $9 I spent on the DVD at Sam's.
