Speaking of Leonardo DeCaprio...
Somewhere along the way, Titanic went from "Come for the sinking ship...stay for the romance!" to the other way around. But there is a big-ass sinking ship in this film despite all the Leonardo DiCaprio going on. And as far as ships sinking onscreen go, this one's second only to Jaws.
Yes, it's long and overly sappy, but it's not all bad. You get Bill Paxton, David Warner, and Billy Zane at his Zaniest. Titanic is also very special because, as far as I know, it's the only film to ever feature Kate Winslet's breasts. She's normally very shy about that sort of thing.
