“I had few problems with this film, and I have heard a lot of criticisms saying it is overlong and overrated. True, it is over three hours long, but I was amazed that it goes by so quickly. I don't think it is overrated at all, I think the IMDb rating is perfectly decent. The film looks sumptuous, with gorgeous costumes and excellent effects, and the direction from James Cameron rarely slips from focus. Leonardo DiCaprio gives one of his best performances as Jack, and Kate Winslet is lovely as Rose. David Warner, a great actor, steals every scene he's in. The story is very rich in detail, and is hot on character development, obvious with the love story which is very moving when it needs to be, though in the first bit of the movie it is a little slow. The last hour is extremely riveting, and” read more

“A seventeen-year-old aristocrat (Kate Winslet), expecting to be married to a rich claimant (Billy Zane) by her mother, falls in love with a kind but poor artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.
The first thing that is really striking about this film is that it came from James Cameron, who is much better known for science fiction films like "Terminator", "Avatar" and "Aliens". He is not the first person that comes to mind when you think of historical fiction romances. And yet, he nailed it. "Titanic", despite its length of three hours, was a huge success and may have sold more VHS copies than any other movie.
But beyond the romance, this is actually a rather decent movie. I cannot say why, it is something hard to put one's finger on. Mo” read more

Movies...Most Memorable Movie quotes (43 movies items)"'I'm the king of the world.'The lucky-yet-unlucky drifter Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997's "Titanic," uttered this famous line on history's most famous ship after the character won a ticket for the boat's doomed maiden voyage. The line works for dramatic effect when something goes extraordinarily well—more commonly, it’s a campy way for someone to express oneself should they end up on a deck of a boat’s bow."
