Another one is Titanic! There were massive delays during production that caused the film to be pushed back from July to a December release date. The budget had ballooned to well over $100 million and articles were being written about how James Cameron was going to sink Fox with his movie.

Expectations were sky high and everyone was waiting to see what kinda film Cameron would deliver......and then it released and everyone fell in love with it, the film was perfect and remains one of the greatest movies ever. There is a new 4K release coming out in December and I can't wait to see this masterpiece again.
