Titanic (1997): James Cameron’s epic romance-disaster film Titanic captivated global audiences with its tragic love story set against the ill-fated 1912 ocean liner. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as Jack and Rose, the film blends historical tragedy with fictional intimacy, culminating in the ship’s catastrophic sinking. Budgeted at $200 million—a then-record—it grossed $2.26 billion, holding the top spot for 12 years. Beyond its box office triumph, Titanic won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Its soundtrack, especially Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” became iconic. The film’s success reshaped Hollywood’s approach to big-budget dramas, proving emotional storytelling could drive mass appeal. Re-releases in 3D and IMAX have kept it financially relevant, maintaining its position among the highest earners. Critically, it was praised for its visual effects, production design, and emotional depth, though some dismissed it as melodramatic. Regardless, Titanic remains a cultural touchstone and a benchmark for cinematic scale and heart.
