"Titanic" was a true epic of a movie, great in so many ways.  I love gangster movies, "Donnie Brasco" is one of the better ones!  "Goodwill Hunting" unleashed the Damon/Affleck combo on us, and yes that is a good thing.  I loved the look of Los Angeles circa the 1950's in "L.A. Confidential", great crime story too.  "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" was easily the funniest movie of 1997, so many great characters in this one.  "Boogie Nights" is without a doubt the best movie ever about the porn industry, for whatever that is worth.  "The Full Monty" is another in a long line of really well done British comedies, it was funny and had a nice message to it.  Even though "Wag The Dog" is a comedy, the story it tells is horrifyingly possible.  "Private Parts" is a must see for all Howard Stern fans.  I think "Cop Land" was one of Stallone's better pieces of work, it was nice seeing him in something where he's not all roided up.
