Definitely see this film Even though Titanic weighs in at a lengthy 3 hours at 14 minutes  the film still manages to keep you captivated the entire time This is probably due to the fact  among others  that it mixes many genres: there's the classic rich girl/poor boy romance  the disaster movie theme  the fact that it's based on a real event  and the dynamics between the rich (First Class) and poor (Third Class)  and this is why  fifteen years later  it's still able to fascinate us
