It’s hard to pinpoint why certain movies stick with us into adulthood while others fade away. Sometimes it’s because a film carries the weight of a profound memory, like watching "E.T." for the first time on television and sobbing at the ending. I still have vivid memories of waiting in an epic line to see "Independence Day" on July 3rd, or the massive spectacle of "Titanic" — complete with the poor woman the theater hired to give a history lecture to the audience before the film started.
