Even if James Cameron's "Avatar" somehow doesn't hit big with audiences this December, the filmmaker may soon have a couple more 3-D movies in theaters. Proven successes no less. Cameron's production company, Lightstorm Entertainment, believes it will be ready to announce a 3-D re-release for "Titanic" within the next six months, and they have been doing tests on "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" for a similar reissue, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Imagine: Leonardo DiCaprio saying "I'm the king of the world" while seemingly sitting on your lap. Okay, so the first section of "Titanic" doesn't seem to lend themselves to 3-D in an exciting way, but you know it'll look cool when the boat starts going down. Scary too. Bodies that originally fell towards the camera on their way into the icy water will now likely be headed into the audience thanks to the added dimension. Read more...

"Shrek 2" closes out the list, but the number one pick?

TitanicDuring Friday night's conversational panel featuring celebrated filmmakers Peter Jackson and James Cameron, the pair revealed that they might revisit some older projects now that 3D technology is becoming more viable in theaters.

According to Cameron, his experience with the much-anticipated 3D film "Avatar" prompted him to look back on another big-budget, special-effects project in his rearview mirror. The director said he plans to "dimensionalize" (convert to 3D) his 1997 film "Titanic."

Over the course of the panel, the directing duo revealed that they'd bonded over their mutual love for 3D filmmaking. In fact, Jackson said he'd like to go 3D with his "Lord of the Ring" trilogy, too.

Saying he'd "love to convert the 'Lord of the Rings,'" Jackson said the current economic climate has studios viewing the cost of adapting theaters to 3D technology very skeptically. For his part, Cameron said that's all going to change once "Avatar" arrives.
