Factual error: In the film the water tight doors are shown to lower mechanically all the way down, however in reality the last 20 inches or so they would suddenly drop by their own weight to effectively "dent" into the floor creating the water tight seal. A few of the crew in the film getting through "at the last moment" would have actually had their lower legs shattered by several tonnes of iron.

A masterpiece. One of, if not the greatest film ever made. Bringing together history, romance, drama and suspense this film is an iconic film for all generations that pulls at the heartstrings of all that watch it.
I write this on the 106th Anniversary of the ship striking the iceberg and you really get a feel for how good the acting in this film is. It really draws you in and makes you feel for the passengers on the ship. Heartbreaking scenes where we see young children, elderly couple and even baby's dying. The film tackles these scenes with the respect deserved. Easy to see why it won 11 Academy awards.
From the start we see a rich woman learn that life is about more than money and reputation as she learns what true love is when meeting a third class, fly by the wind down to earth guy who wins a ticket in a game of poker.
The famous absurd ending where jack dies because he can't get on top of rose, really ruins the whole film! I love the movie until the terrible, silly ending.

Jack: That's one of the good things about Paris: lots of girls willing to take their clothes off.
Trivia: Gloria Stuart was the oldest person ever to receive an Oscar nomination for her role in "Titanic". At 87, she was also the only person on the set who was alive at the time of the real "Titanic" disaster.
More questions & answers from Titanic
Answer: Yes, it was. At the time, the big cruise lines were all trying to outdo each other with the largest and most opulent cruise ships. The Olympic class ships were the White Star Line's entry in the size race, with Olympic, the first built, taking the title in 1911, before losing it to her sister ship, the Titanic, the following year.
