The mother of all ships, TITANIC. Come on Paramount and give the SE already! Anamorphic WS along with DTS...enough is enough! This film deserves a least a 2 disc set, maybe even
3...

You guys are only voting for "Boogie Nights" because you like Heather Graham's possibly fake boobs (or maybe Mark Wahlberg's definitely fake schlong).

I'm voting for "As Good As It Gets." Nicholson and Hunt both gave exceptional performances, and Greg Kinnear did a good job of saving the film from his dumb character. I'm about as jaded as a moviegoer can be, and I normally loathe romance flicks, but this one works on every level.

It trumps the spectacle of Titanic, and the characters are three-dimensional in the way that makes the performances by Wahlberg and Graham in Boogie Nights look flat by comparison.
