I have always been obsessed with the story of the Titanic, especially as my whole family comes from Belfast and my greatgrandfathers worked at building it and the Olympic in the Harland and Woolf shipyards.
This film is a technical masterpiece, so you can overlook the oh-so-cheesy script and vapid love story (and yet still kind of enjoy it at the same time as a guilty pleasure). The last hour of the film, when the ship starts to sink the visuals are jaw-droppingly good.
Suspend the snark, and enjoy the spectacle.
