Titanic is not the sort of film I like to watch, but from an objective point of view, I'd argue that it is good. If you can agree that commercial value correlates to some extent with overall quality, I think it's still the biggest money maker in movie history.
Just because it made a shedload of money doesn't automatically qualify it as a great film. Technically brilliant maybe too but how many albums are techically brilliant that no one listens to? Titanic was a great achievement logistically. Still overwrought, sentimental claptrap IMO.

As for True Lies, I will confess to only watching it once just after it came out but the fact that I have never felt the need to rewatch is vindication enough for me, although Jamie Lee curtis FTW.
