What’s your favorite scene from the movie Titanic?
Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
This is one of my FAVORITE movies!
I think I like it so much because of the romance aspect. Jack Dawson wins a ticket on the Titanic from a card game. A young poor drifter, he leaves things to chance and is optimistic about what each day will bring. While on the Titanic, he meets Rose, a beautiful, sophisticated wealthy young woman who’s engaged to Cal.
The engagement between Cal and Rose is arranged and it’s an engagement based upon money – Rose has an excellent family name but her family has been left with a lot of debt. Her mother wants the match between Rose and Cal to bring wealth back into their family. Rose can’t stand her self-centered, over-bearing fiance (Cal), but finds herself drawn to Jack.
Jack and Rose fall in love amidst the sinking of the ship. Jack has an uncanny ability to really see into people. He’s an artist and he draws appealing pictures of people, capturing the essence of his art subjects. Jack shows Rose how to have a good time and she finds herself joyous around Jack, so joyous that it affects her relationship with Cal.
Another reason I really enjoy this movie is because of the vivid scenery and the plotting of this story is amazing! So many things are going on, and even while the ship is sinking, you still have side stories happening, making the movie even more exciting. Also, I think the characters were so vivid and so real. It’s a very-well done and intense movie and that’s one reason why I end up watching it again and again.
I also loved the way the social classes were depicted in this film. The way the people dressed, the setting, etc. – it was done in a way to show the difference between the rich passengers and the poor ones.
SPOILER!!
TITANIC – AN ALTERNATE ENDING! 🙂
I’m assuming most have seen this movie and know the ending. If it were up to me, I would’ve changed the ending and had Jack to live. He and Rose would’ve gotten married and had lots of children together…
My favorite part of the movie was when Jack takes Rose to the front of the ship and tells her to close her eyes. When she opens her eyes, she sees the vivid ocean. Amazed, feeling like she’s flying, Jack leans over and kisses her! 🙂
Oh, I love this movie!
Have you seen this movie? If so, did you like it? What’s your favorite scene in the movie?
I’d also wanted to mention that I purchased my Titanic DVD about five years ago from the discount bin at Walmart. Before that, I’d owned the VHS tapes and before that, I’d seen it a few times in the theater. One weird thing I noticed was, it doesn’t seem to be available as a new, inexpensive DVD on AMAZON or Barnes and Noble. The copies that I saw listed were used or highly expensive, like, upwards of $40. Also, I didn’t see it available to rent like most movies on Amazon. Anybody know why it’s not available to rent or why it’s not available as an affordable new DVD? Let me know if you do!
My favorite scene without a doubt is the steerage party where they dance to the Irish band. As an Irish-American girl myself, that scene has such spirit and showed the connection between Jack and Rose. This applies to more than one scene, but I love any interation between Andrews (Victor Garber) and Rose. They had such an understanding between them.
Cecelia,
Brilliant minds think alike. My favorite scene was the same as yours. Soooo romantic!!! And, yes, I love your alternative ending. I mean, seriously??? Jack couldn’t have fit on that piece of wood, too??? Puh-lease!!! 😉

@Kim, yes, loved that scene. Yes, Mr. Andrews and Rose did have an understanding between them. When the ship was sinking, they didn’t want to let everybody know because they didn’t want to cause an uproar. Mr. Andrews told Rose to find a ship to get away since the Titanic would be sinking in about an hour.
@Renee, your comment brought something to mind. I recall taking a workshop several years ago and the workshop teacher had made the comment “Couldn’t Jack have fit on that wood too? Granted, Rose was a bit hefty!” LOL! I can’t recall who said this, though? It’s been such a long time!
My favorite part in the movie is at the end where, as an old lady, Rose tosses the jewel back into the ocean, fully knowing that, one day soon, she and Jack will be together again.
Hey, Linda. Honestly, that was my least-favorite part of the movie. They’re really going to be together soon, right? Why waste a perfectly good necklace about it? I guess my financial skills are coming into play, I just can’t see wasting a huge piece of expensive jewelry like that. But, I guess it was almost the same as Rose tossing a wedding ring into the ocean, if Jack’d given her one.
