Top 10 American Directors?

No, before the 60s, movies in America were generally not produced for any specific audience, but then Hollywood realized that male teenagers were a very key demographic, and they tried and are trying very hard to capture that specific audience. I don't think my grandmother cared much for any of those movies you mentioned, I didn't either.

So there were 100 million male teenagers in the US in 1997 when Titanic came out. When I watched Titanic at the theater with my family there were no teenagers: two kids and my parents.

Titanic is obviously a movie not made for male teenagers.

I was referencing a quote from Cameron that I think is a total mess. He said that 3D was the only way for movies because we perceive the world in 3D. I guess this explains why nobody paints anymore, that flat stuff is nothing compared to sculptures. While I don't think he's ever been a great filmmaker, he has fallen victim to an unfortunate case of unlimited resources which causes his films to lack any sort of ingenuity.

Not made for male teenagers, or made for them and others. That's usually how it works.

I think you are the exception.I do think those movies were targeted towards all audiences.

The biggest blockbusters are not specifically made for a single demographic but try to hit all demographics, well, that's their nature.

I don't think unlimited resources make his films bad but that the fact that he does movies that cost 500 million dollars in production and marketing means that his movies have to be dumbed down to a very high degree to achieve broad demographic and international appeal as to make more than 1 billion in box office, as required by accounting for his films to turn out a profit.
