TITANIC soundtrack went on release some months before the film came out here in the UK. I thought it was an awesome soundtrack then and still is now. Being the BIGGEST SELLING soundtrack of all time and falling into mainstream pop music it has definately made us film collectors snobbish towards it. Perhaps afraid to be affected by this score? There is no denying that it touched the audience like no romance score had done before. For a love story Horner produced a score that was as fitting to what JW's music was to Jaws, Superman and StarWars, etc. It will take some beating in that category
