Titanic

We started off this list strong with one of the most famous love stories in human history - Titanic. Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance film with a tragic twist incorporating both historical and fictionalized aspects based on accounts of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in real life. The film is directed, written, produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. Titanic achieved significant critical and commercial success, and with an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion, Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark. This film was also the film that changed Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's acting career. Especially, after Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio bacame the hottest actor at the time.

Titanic is the beautiful and tragic love story of upper-class 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater, and Jack Dawson, a working-class young artist. They were both at the age when they only think about love, and it didn't take too long for them to fall deeply in love, even though Rose already had a fiance. Jack offers an alternative to Rose’s fiancé, with whom she is not in love, and her sheltered life, which bores her. And they planned to run away together on the Titanic ship, despite being strongly objected to by their family, especially Rose's mother and fiance.

Their plans to run away together are thwarted when the ship sinks following a collision with an iceberg. Even during the disaster, they had no intention to be apart from each other. The moment they were separated forever took away many tears of Titanic's fans, as it shows how the beautiful love story ended in such tragedy. As passengers fall to their deaths, Jack and Rose desperately cling to the stern rail. In the freezing water, Jack helps Rose onto a wooden panel buoyant enough for only one person and makes her promise to survive. While Jack perishes in the icy waters of the Atlantic, Rose kept her promise and went on to live a long life influenced by her brief time with Jack.
