The taglines for Titanic were grand and appropriate for the groundbreaking effect the film would have on the world! Two such taglines are, "Nothing on Earth could come between them" and "Collide with destiny." If you've seen Titanic more than three million times and can quote it by heart, you'll remember Old Rose refers to Titanic in her tales of life as "The ship of dreams." It goes without saying the appeal of Titanic reached epic proportions over the last twenty years, and for good reason; there's something for everyone in this love story.

The modern film adaptation of Titanic tells the story of a couple from two different economic classes at a time where class separation ruled. Jack Dawson, was a starving artist who lived his life according to the air in his lungs and his desire to travel. Rose Dewitt Bukator lived in the most opposite of worlds; she was the daughter of wealthy socialites from Philadelphia. When the two came together through fate and destiny on the sea, the hearts of filmgoers and hopeless romantics alike went on to explode in a Titanic-sized love of Jack and Rose!

If you applied the taglines of the film to the stunning performances of Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet, they make sense! The pair's chemistry was undeniable; the two frequently discussed fun times they shared together on the set. Leo and Kate's friendship has transcended ice burgs and two decades of fame and is worth a nostalgic look back!

Always having a date to depend on for events, doesn't hurt either!
