Titanic held the record for the highest-grossing film of all time for several years until Cameron’s Avatar disrupted it in 2010. The American epic romance and disaster film remains one of the best films of all time.
The film has won several coveted awards including Academy Awards, British Academy Film Awards, Grammy Awards, MTV Movie Awards, etc.
The Inspiration
One of the things that make Titanic a hit is the fact that it’s based on a true story. The writer, producer, and director, James Cameron, was intrigued by shipwrecks and after shooting the footage of the 
actual wreck in 1995, Titanic, the movie was born.
