The 1997 Academy Award winner for Best Dramatic Score, James Horner's Titanic was the first soundtrack to reach the No. 1 slot on the Billboard charts in two decades; it also seemed to rival the Big Mac in sales for the year. And what can we say about Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"; would "ubiquitous" suffice?

Horner's combination of synths, chorale, and orchestra perfectly underscores the action in director James Cameron's 20th-century melodrama. It's a finely honed piece of Hollywood craftsmanship from a composer who has tackled more musically adventuresome projects in his career. FYI: Horner's follow-up to Titanic was the score for a different disaster: Deep Impact. --Jerry McCulley

Rating: - The best album of all time
Yes, I'm one of those people who thinks this is the best album of all time.

Anticipated though the movie was, surely no one could have guessed the huge impact the tragedy story would have on such a large amount of the public. Somehow, this film touched the hearts of its audience in a way few movies have, and in the decade since its release it has become a definite classic. Among ... Read More

Rating: - Like the film score, cannot stand the Celine Dion song
Alright I admit, I like the film score to TITANIC, a movie that makes me violently ill (despite Kate Winslet being in the film)or puts me into a diabetic coma from the sugary storyline. James Horner's classical film score is quite effective in drawing in the audience with his often emotional music. "Rose" is the perfect example. Sissel's delicate vocals is never overwhelming and never the center point of the song. The focus is the melody. Unfortunately what drags down this soundtrack is that insidious ... Read More
