I liked Titanic way more several years after all the hype was gone. When it came out it came off as what every teen girl wanted to see, so... it ended up being just as popular to hate on it. I liked it well enough when I watched it, but then when I rewatched it a decade later I found it even better than I remembered (the plot is actually really good, DiCaprio held up as an actor [...can't comment on Kate Winslet though], and there's some great attention to detail in it ... plus Cameron basically used it as an excuse to pursue his true passion, deep-sea submersibles).
Can't comment on the other movies, though. I only saw Dances with Wolves once on TV a few years ago, and it was all right, but I can't get by my "meh" attitude about Kevin Costner ever since Waterworld.
Anyway, to bring this back around to Dragon Song... Any positive comments from me on that are 80% due to "I can't believe we're finally getting a new Lunar game!", which got it up to a "ok but not great", and only backslid from there. Pretty much the opposite trajectory of Titanic.
...Titanic the movie, not the ship.
