And just today on one of the cable shows Titanic came up. They
said it grossed so highly because of the young teen girls who saw
the movie over and over and over again [sounds like an old rock
song] to see Leorardo.
It was talked about a lot when it came out - but now you just don't
hear much about it - while other big films of the past seem to be
remembered more widely.
