When people talk about how much they love Titanic, they only ever seem to mention how great the love story is. Normally I would agree on that, being as romantic as I am, but I think the most important part is the sinking part. It is heartbreaking to see all these people who are trying to save themselves or people who just give up and try to accept the inevitable.
To me, this part outweighs the whole love story, and for this part alone, I think Titantic is worth every minute you spend watching it.

Despite its romantic excesses, cheese-factor, and other sins, Titanic is a mountainous love story that, at the very least, doesn't deserve to be cast aside as rubbish. The climactic sinking scenes are film achievements in and of themselves, and there no less than 4 very memorable scenes throughout this film.

Not many other films can claim to have created even close to the same impact. Is it perfect? No, not in the least. Is it worth watching at least once? Absolutely.

not every movie have to explore the most complex and intersectional part of the human experience to be good, and titanic proves it. Indeed, it's a prove that you can make a masterpiece, without the most pretentious dialogue, but with a good setting, relatable characters and with a flawless execution.

it's no coincidence that almost 25 years have passed since titanic and people still quote jack and rose from time to time, and they have become the paradigm of a love story.

it was hated just because teen girls loved it, and, as a group, they have had their lows, but this wasn't one. Titanic is a masterpiece.
