Titanic is one of my all time faves too. Saw it in the theater and had not one moment of boredom for the entire 3 hours. I'm almost never that consistently entertained by any movie, regardless of length. Many films I rent get ejected and sent back after 15 minutes. Many others get watched in 15-30 minute installments. I've watched Titanic about 5 times. It's on my iPhone too...

A friend gave me the the 3-DVD boxed set a while back. I watched everything on it. Fantastic stuff.

When the film came out I recall DiCaprio being widely disssed as a "pretty boy", lightweight actor. I didn't agree at all - I thought his performance was outstanding. His career since has pretty much proven me right, if I may say so. Just because you're a blonde heartthrob doesn't make you a bad actor.

As for Celine Dion...well...there's a successful career I pretty much can't explain. And the song, particularly her performance of it, drives me up the wall. I like to say that she brings all the emotional depth and honesty to it that anyone could possibly fake...
 
Titanic for me was everything a movie should be

I am a sucker for a love story a forbidden star crossed one is even better. The class struggle, every character was perfect

Zane was a such a dick, but the fun kind you love to hate

The mother was a betch, but engaging

THE ships Captain, Builder and Financier all had great lines and roles

Leo is a one of the finer talents working, the and now.

It was a perfect blend of total drama, with some comedic moments ala Cameron style and then they hit the berg and it's a roller coaster for the next 1.5 hours.

Also, a historical piece is always fun.

What's not to like ?
 
I love Titanic as well. It's epic and very well done. I also love how the actors look like their historical counterpart.

And My Heart Will Go On was a beautiful song back then, when you heard it for the first time.
