LoTR is a masterpiece and destined to be a classic for generations to come, PERIOD, end of story! OTOH, I would agree that Ben Hur was far less deserving of it's 11 Oscars. However, I wouldn't go quite as far as you did in comparing it to "a horrendous pile of dog dung" even though I don't usually care for Old/New Testament religious epics and rarely have much use for Charlton Heston's square jawed acting. Titanic is another kettle of fish (i.e., literally ...now, I guess!); I liked it quite a bit better than you did, but I have to agree with you about Cameron creating and/or directing more effective romantic dialogue in other films. BTW, if you think that the romantic elements in The Terminator was better, check out the Abyss!AuPh
