Again, while your unshakable love and increasingly enthusiastic defense of GFIII (with or without the Mezcal) continues to be admirable, and while it is certainly not the 'worst' move ever made (that would be 'Titanic')...
For all the reasons you mention above, this film can NOT be defined as a 'classic'.
Actually, as I've said before, I think Titanic is an excellent movie, even with it's flaws. It's not on the AFI's list (second edition) of 100 best American movies for nothing (Titanic is #83 on the list).
