(read more) The journey of "Titanic" begins in the present, at the site of the ship's watery grave, two-and-a-half miles under the ocean surface. An ambitious fortune hunter (Bill Paxton) is determined to plumb the treasures of this once-stately ship, only to bring to the surface a story left untold. The tragic ruins melt away to reveal the glittering palace that was Titanic as it prepares to launch on its maiden voyage from England. Amidst the thousands of well-wishers bidding a fond bon voyage, destiny has called two young souls, daring them to nurture a passion that would change their lives forever. Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a 17-year-old, upper-class American suffocating under the rigid confines and expectations of Edwardian society who falls for a free-spirited young steerage passenger named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio). Once he opens her eyes to the world that lies outside her gilded cage, Rose and Jack's forbidden love begins a powerful mystery that ultimately echoes across the years into the present. Nothing on earth is going to come between them -- not even something as unimaginable as the sinking of Titanic.

The best part about this film is the second half... when the ship sinks. I could care less about any other portion of this film.
Phenomenal movie, which really underscores the importance of hanging on when everything is destructing. The movie really deserves to be viewed by everyone at least once.
beste movie ooit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw it three different times in the theater when it first came out so that we could fully appreciate the movie in all it's glory on the big screen.

Bringing a world approximately ninety years ago and making it intimate and relate to us is incredible. We really feel for the characters, both Jack and Rose and what they have to go through to get what they both want. Visually it was a miraculous feat. No one could have surely done it better than the "King of the World" himself.
As everyone has probably heard before, this is a very sad and touching movie. I watched it. I cried. I don't think I need to watch it again.
