If you compare and contrast successful versus unsuccessful movies you can draw some interesting conclusions. Titanic (currently the all-time box-office champ) was a true story about a catastrophy illustrated as a backdrop to a fictional teen-age love story. Star Wars was an intergalactic cowboy movie centered around a teenage crush. Spider-Man was a long-awaited superhero movie about a teenager who gained super powers largely due to a crush on a girl. So here is the big secret to making millions of dollars on your movie, take any simple plot and weave a teenage love story into it.

I'm working on one right now about two teenage lovers aboard the Hindenburg.
