titanic (1997) is still one of the most famous works.

The film focuses on the love story of Rose, a bourgeois woman played by Kate Winslet, and Jack, the poor artist played by Leonardo DiCaprio. The couple fall in love aboard the ship departing from Southampton bound for New York. But on the fourth day, the liner struck an iceberg and sank.
