I agree, and I doubt that you'll get much argument on this BBS. But I believe Titanic is the highest grossing movie ever in UK. And in the US. And worldwide.

Looks like we all have bad taste.

There is a british version coming out as well, That follows the Wells book faithfully

can`t wait for both of these!


I'm much more interested in seeing this British version.  I loved the book, and have waited forever for someone to make a version that was faithful to the time and place Wells wrote it about.  I'm greatly disappointed that the Speilberg version is set in modern times, but this news about the Brit film gives me hope.  

Incidentally, I hope the Brit film faithfully recreates the HMS Thunderchild scene from the book.  I listened to a radio version once, and this scene raised goosebumps.

sikboy - I think the most successful movie (highest grossing(?)) was The Full Monty. :)
