Although at loggerheads during post-production on Aliens, both Horner and Cameron were able to find common ground when it came to the Titanic score. Titanic also went on to become the best-selling score album of all time.
They let bygones be bygones and, consequently, the scoring sessions on Titanic were much happier and more creatively fulfilling, eventually leading to Horner's first Academy Award (he also won for Best Song, "My Heart Will Go On").
It was expected that the two men would never work together again but Cameron's love for Horner's Braveheart score led him to seek out the composer. That experience famously ended in frustration, with Horner's score chopped and changed throughout the movie due to fierce time constraints. It also marked Cameron's first collaboration with composer James Horner since their strained union on Aliens back in 1986. The sinking itself is marshalled with remarkable power, an incredible blend of miniatures, CGI and sets. As expected, Cameron's attention to detail is unsurpassed, with every aspect of the production coming together to pull us into the disaster. Cameron's masterstroke was to fuse an intimate, star-crossed love story with the extraordinary recreation of the sinking itself the film made stars of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and their likeable performances put a vivid human face on the tragedy without ever trivializing it. Back in 1998, James Cameron's Titanic defied all expectations, becoming the first film to break the $1 billion barrier at the box office and eventually scooping 11 Oscars, the most since Ben Hur.
