Titanic
TITANIC, James Cameron's blockbuster, stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as young lovers aboard the ill-fated voyage. A mysterious nude sketch found in the wreckage of the Titanic leads to the tale of its subject, the now-elderly Rose DeWitt Bukater (Winslet). As her story begins, Rose is 17 and vacationing aboard the "unsinkable" ship with her unctuous, moneyed fiance (Billy Zane). However, she soon falls for Jack Dawson (DiCaprio), a free-spirited artist and third-class passenger. Their romance moves quickly--until the luxury liner slams into an iceberg. Soon Rose, Jack, and everyone onboard the sinking ship are all struggling to stay alive.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star as a married couple, who proudly declare their independence from the suburban inertia and are determined not to be trapped by the social confines of the 50s. But gradually they become what they didn't expect. read more »

Soggy mess
This is a truly horrible movie, designed to jerk the tear ducts into action and give the odious Leonardo di Caprio dangerous career oxygen.
People get on a big boat. Someone forgets to navigate. Boat hits iceberg. Gradually sinks, killing most on board. That’s the historical truth that the movie is based on – obviously a tragedy. The greater disaster though, is that Cameron decided to make a sloppy ‘love conquers all’ movie about it, AND spend over $200 million in the process.
Only Kathy Bates, as the ‘unsinkable’ (i.e. cake-scoffing) Molly Brown and Bernard Hill as Captain Birdseye escape with performances they could justifiably call adequate. Leonardo wails and gnashes and is completely ineffective; in fact the only thing less effective is Billy Zane’s shooting – didn’t we all desperately want him to get Leo between the eyes a couple of times? Kate Winslet, whose career has only recovered this year with the incredible Eternal Sunshine, wobbles around the embarrassingly fake set looking like she’s about to breastfeed Leo and then selfishly lets him freeze to death so she can keep the big blue rock, and doesn’t have to pawn it to spend on baby formula.
This is about as unpleasant as movies get, and Cameron hasn’t made one since. Lets all make sure he doesn’t get near a linen-back chair ever again. -

WOW!!!
What an incredible movie!! I watched it for the first time in April 05. Wow!! very cleverly directed between naration and story, superbly cast (you can feel yourself gnashing your teeth when the pompous arrangant oafs appear, and sinking with sadness at the lowly mistreated ones' desparation), thrilling story (even though you think you know the ending). I felt like I was on that ship. Without stimulants. Watch and weep, it won't let you go.

Titanic stars hand over cash to ship's last survivor
- 11 May 2009
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have proved their generosity is of Titanic proportions - after donating £20,000 to help the last remaining survivor from the doomed ship. The pair, who starred as tragic lovers in the 1997 blockbuster, along with the movie's director James Cameron, handed over the cash to ensure 98-year-old Millvina Dean can pay her nursing home fees, reports Access Hollywood. Dean was the ship's youngest passenger at nine months old when the Titanic hit an iceberg and... Read more
