Thumbnail on point as always! 🤣

It’s amazing to remember that 25 years ago this movie’s VHS release day in early 1998 created a line of people and cars so long at the department stores that I was over an hour late getting to my last day of grade 7. This movie was insanely popular for 2 years down here in Australia. Also RIP to James Horner: beautiful music in this movie

Funny That

George you wouldn't be my usual preference, but I also wouldn't kick you out of bed for eating chips/crisps based on the thumbnail. Way to smoulder sir/mam.

- I saw this movie 11 times in the theater and it's still one of my favorites. Like every other girl, I was in love with Leo, but I think it was Romeo + Juliet (which came out the year before) that cemented his heartthrob status. - Yes, that is the real Titanic wreckage. Cameron's brother designed cameras that they could pilot remotely and get into the rooms and hallways. - I remember at the time that the family of Murdoch (the officer who initially takes a bribe from Cal) was very offended at how he was portrayed. - "Over on the bed-- the couch" was unscripted, and it was so perfect they kept it. And those are Cameron's hands doing the drawing.

Mark McKeown

Although it's a long movie, I'll definitely check out this full. I was born and live in Belfast where they built the ship.

Seconding the thumbnail

Pam Nail

Also, I'm glad neither George nor Simone fell into the ridiculous "why couldn't they both be on the door?" thing. They try that, and it almost flips over and drowns them. And Jack makes the choice to stay in the water. People have argued about this for years, and Cameron even tested it out because people kept whinging about it. They try it in the movie; it didn't work. I will die on this hill.

As someone who was forced to study and learn more about this case than I ever wanted to in law school (3 straight months, almost every waking moment), I think this movie is pretty awful. I still enjoy it because of the nostalgia of seeing it when I was a little kid, but the film itself is as cheesy and poorly made as they come. This is only my opinion, of course. I give Terminator 2 and Aliens a pass, but I just don't like James Cameron movies. They aren't my thing.

8bitAndy

Is it me or is Simone giving off Hannibal Lecter vibes in this thumbnail?

Johanna Caulfield

They really need to make a movie about the RMS Carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors. They were 4 hours away, but damn near broke the laws of physics to make it in 3.

Jeff K

I don't mind this movie but do think it's wildly overrated (same with the Avatar movies) and generally agree with you on Cameron, though I do love True Lies. I guess I don't quite get the hype around him, which is the same way that I feel about Tim Burton, for example. Also I'll use this opportunity to just note that it's a literal crime that this won Best Picture over LA Confidential (and even Good Will Hunting). Also, on that note, George and Simone just need to watch The Full Monty and As Good As It Gets and they'll have reacted to all five Best Picture nominees from 1998.

Forrest Tanaka

They did take a few things from the wreck in real life — a cherub from the grand staircase, the ship’s whistle that they got to blow again a few years ago, a section of the hull, part of which is in Las Vegas and part in Florida. Probably other things, but those are the ones I know. The lifeboat issue is one of many that was MUCH more nuanced than presented here or in A Night to Remember. Entire YT videos have been devoted to the lifeboat subject by maritime experts.

MPH

It was just you, but now it's me too. Some things you can't unsee, bro.

Lonnie Vannatter

The set of the Titanic the actual ship...Now most controversy starts the first officer William McMaster Murdoch his family was upset because he was portrayed as a villain and that he shot himself which there was no proof that he did...In my personally opinion he was a hero...He saved more lives more than other besides Captain Smith perhaps. The king of the world was actually from a from Mahammad Ali. There was a ship the SS Californian the Titanics and the Californians radio operator got in a fight and the Californians radio turned radio off and went to bed...The hand that was drawing the picture was Camerons

Helly R

I honestly don't think the movie shows Murdoch as a villain. In a moment of panic he shot someone, then immediately felt enough remorse to shoot himself. I thought he was sympathetic. Fair enough that the family to be upset, given we don't actually know if it was him that shot himself. Someone on staff is supposed to have.

Lonnie Vannatter

They did not lock the gates either after Smith realized the life boats were haf full he did order them back but none came back

Tmatts

Exactly. They tried it and deemed it to not be possible, so people need to let it be. People already have to suspend their disbelief in so many ways in all movies, this one thing is so stupid for people to complain so much about. If the movie deems something not possible, then it just isn't possible.

Lonnie Vannatter

i heard he went back and apologized to family there was a book written in n 1898, just 14 years before the Titanic disaster, the writer Morgan Robertson wrote the novel 'Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan', a book that tells the story of a fictional ship whose sinking bears several similarities with real-life events in 1912.

Drew

I'm not sure what I'm impressed by more the thumbnail or the fact that you are the first YouTubers to actually have me willingly watch a sponsored ad :O

Lonnie Vannatter

Lifeboats were not meant to wait out in the ocean for help but to be ferried from one ship to another Titanic had more lifeboats than what was required by maritime law at the time.

Byron Abrahams

This movie's remembered as a romance - and rightly so. Its beautiful. But as a thriller, it's amazing as well. The script is perfect, in the problems it throws at the characters, minute by minute, with the ultimate ticking clock. I love it.

mojo shivers

I remember circling the block around Mann’s Chinese in Hollywood the night this opened and marveling at just how many people were coming out to see this. This was way before anyone knew this would be a hit of course, but after that night I kind of suspected it would be kind of huge.

James Falato

This was 2 Flicks in one: The First Half was a "Chick Flick" and the Second Half was a "Guy Flick"... Also it was reported back when the Movie was being Released that James Cameron - to finance the Film - wound-up having to give so much of the Upfront Revenues that the Movie would have to make $400 Million before He Made a Dime, and luckily. the Film made $2.2 Billion World Wide...

"thats so much carats" - george

Gaius Frakking Baltar

The late David Warner was perfect for the role of Lovejoy; he does villainy so well. I'll never forget his performance as Jack the Ripper in the Nicholas Meyer film "Time After Time".

Jeff K

I think it definitely helped that the rumors were all over that the movie was going to be a giant -- or, TITANIC, if you will -- disaster based on reports coming out about the shoot, going over budget, the cast getting violently ill, etc. The hype, the Cameron "spectacle" of it all, and the morbid curiosity to find out if it was gonna be a train wreck certainly got people out to the theaters in droves.

Kangdarius

I cannot sit through the first half of this film anymore. Not even Kate winslet wonderful nude model can get me to watch the first half of this bs lol. I can watch the second half for my own devilish reasons though. Still think the ending is quite dumb when it comes to Leo’s character. This is far down the list of Cameron movies for me.

Kinokind

"Time After Time". Another fine film that no one has ever reacted to! Malcolm McDowell, Mary Steenburgen, David Warner . . .c'mon!

João Rafael Ferreira

I remember hating this movie when I was younger. I think it had a lot to do with the "girl romance" thing and being taught by common sense that everything that resorted to direct and frontal genres like the soap opera based style of this film was bad. Years ago when I started studying cinema and rewatched it, not only I liked it a lot more but I think it's a masterpiece. It is a film that perfectly combines well-made melodrama with the epic style of classic Hollywood. Almost a disaster film with touches of Douglas Sirk. It has everything, the survival thriller, the impossible love, the class struggle, the tragedy. James Cameron is a master at using sound, the soundtrack, and lighting to enhance the sensorial aspect of emotions. It all works to tug at the heartstrings, and it works brilliantly. No wonder it deservedly became a classic and will always be remembered

REDR58

I don’t mind Titanic (have only seen it once) but I tried watching the first Avatar movie awhile back for the first time when another reactor watched it and I barely made it 30 minutes in. I never saw the new Avatar. For me, the design of the Na’vi is so utterly off-putting that I find them freakish and revolting.

João Rafael Ferreira

Just to add, I recommend this great (as always) video by The Nerdwriter on Melodrama Done Right using Titanic. He talks about this negative weight of the adjective "melodramatic" in a world where is inevitable that we get more and more cynical as we grow older. I think thats kind of a good reason for me why a like this movie so much. It allows me to not being cynical and let myself be carried away by this story for 3 hours https://vimeo.com/542317472

ChickensAreRacist

I’m sure others have already said in the comments, but that nice dude ‘I’ve got you miss’ who was also the one with the flask atop the stern with Jack and Rose was a real person. He survived and always attributes the alcohol for keeping his body warm enough long enough. And also yes, that string quartet is based on that band…. It’s true that occurred. They played as it sank.

Scott CineRam

Jack singing: "Rose, dear, you've nothing to fear 'Cause I know...that we've got at least An hour 'til we sink. (We can have sex again!)"

Skinny_Obelix

James Cameron is such an interesting dude. He was a truck driver who in his spare time read papers about film technology from a college he was supposed to dump, learning all the intricacies of the technologies used... These days he's just not into submarines, he's a leading submarine tech developer. Basically making movies to fund driving the tech forward. He's responsible for so many safety innovations in diving.

Happy Hanukkah

George, I happen to be something of a painter myself. Can I book you for a session? I have a bed... couch! Couch!

Happy Hanukkah

"Well baby, I went down and got it for ya." :-/

J.R.

On the topic of 3 hour movies, Oppenheimer just hit the torrent websites!

Rachel W

Titanic really is a bad movie. The dialogue, plot, Billy Zane. lol. The sinking part is the best, of course. I pretty much FF to that part.

Jeff Norwood-Brown

“Jack, I’ll never let you go” and then 5 mins later, lets him go. What a liar. Hasn’t she seen Weekend at Bernie’s? BTW, Paul won’t make you cry…

JBK405

You mentioned the size comparison between the Titanic and modern-day cruise ships, and how much bigger they are now. Part of this is just the general increase in ship sizes, but it's also the fact that the Titanic was a LINER, not a cruise ship. Ocean liner's were primarily transport ships, they were meant to get people from A to B. Expensive ones were designed for comfort as well, just like First Class on modern airplanes, but speed was a primary factor. So they couldn't go wider and wider and WIDER, or taller and taller and TALLER. They had to restrict themselves to what could be moved quickly and safely (Well, "safely", considering...). Modern-day cruise ships aren't that much longer than the Titanic was (~1,100 ft to ~880 feet), but they're taller and wider because they move a whole lot slower. There's only one ocean liner still in operation today, the rest were replaced by air travel.

Patrick

Am I missing something in the scene where they see the iceberg and gives directions to move hard to starboard (right) but the turn left? And then again says move hard to port (left) and they turn right? I doubt Cameron would mess up this detail, so maybe the directions were reversed back then? Also, a weird thing to think about is that all of the life boats need to be lowered by 2 men, on the boat. Even if they had enough boats, 2 men at every station are basically dead. I don't have NEARLY enough company loyalty to be that sucker lol

Andrew Roach

For whatever reason I have always remembered the point in the movie where VHS tape 1 ended and you had to pop in tape 2: "Well, I think you may get your headlines Mr. Ismay."

Andrew Roach

Back when I first heard Cameron's next movie was going to be Titanic I remember thinking what a waste for such a great action director to be wasted doing this. Then I saw the movie and it remains one of my all time favorite movies. The scene filmed where the Titanic was docked was opposite of reality so Cameron flipped the images around and any printing on signs on set was actually printed backwards so when the film was flipped later the writing would be correct. Following in Terminator 2's shoes, the budget for this movie was the biggest of all time at the time. How does a director follow up the biggest grossing movie of all time, well with another biggest grossing movie of all time... amazing. A guy in the background of some shots with Bill Paxton was the actual guy who discovered the Titanic's resting place at the bottom of the ocean. Titanic won 14 Oscars tying Ben Hur for most wins by a single movie. Glad you noticed that the movie made a point that the piano top, I think that is what it was, couldn't actually support both Rose and Jack. I believe specifically because of the Titanic disaster cruise ships after this had to have enough lifeboats to allow all passengers and crew the means to escape. I feel bad saying this but I think the boats not returning may have been the correct call. Really, would all those people in the water not have swamped the boats and pulled them down?

Christoph Plank

Simone is giving me Overlook Hotel vibes in the thumbnail

Matt Young

When they were talking about James Cameron's penchant for underwater exploration and Simone said "he holds the record for going the deepest" my immature brain said "but we've only got his wifes word for that".

FromDarknessComesLight

Also, didn't the Carpathia almost hit an iceberg herself? That would've been much more of a disaster if she had sank too, especially since it turns out there were several ships in the area and no one else responded.

Gary Fixler

Okay, I had to look it up, because there was no way what Simone was talking about - intimacy coordinators - were a thing in 1997. Everything in these industries was a free-for-all until around 2010, which is the first year I started to have do all the training stuff at companies (racism, sexism, etc). I started in my industry in 2002. It seems the first IC was Alicia Rodis, who started up the idea, and a nonprofit in 2016, and works for HBO, and then the Weinstein thing broke in 2017, and now it's ubiquitous.

Wrencher86

So Rose's mother is played by Frances Fisher. She's been in a lot of things and one of them is Unforgiven. Which is the movie I usually bug you guys about reacting to when I'm not bugging you about Ravenous.

Daniel Kerr

The TV show "Newsradio" did some very silly themed episodes, and one of them was Titanic. It's S04E22, titled, "Sinking Ship." Now that you've seen the movie I recommend giving it a watch.

Jonah Bertorelli

Okay, you guys are the absolute GOATs at thumbnails but this one is TOOO good. lmfao! George as Rose and Simone as Jack is too fucking funny! lmao!

Jinyatta

great reaction, in a similar vein, I'd love to see you react to another true seafaring film, The Perfect Storm

Matthew Doherty

The old couple and the mother telling her kids a fairy tale gets me every time.

Jason Dreibeblis

Fun fact: the old couple in bed were real people. Isidor, and Ida Strauss. Isidor was co-owner of Macy’s, and though he was super rich he refused to use his status to get on a boat while there were still a ton of women and children. His wife Ida refused to leave without him, and they were last seen on deck walking arm in arm.

Pepijn Schmitz

The woman who tells her kids stories in bed to keep them calm is the woman who plays John O'Connor's foster mother.
