Titanic | 100 Movies Bucket List

 

Next up for the bucket list was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to!

I saved this film for as long as I could because I love it so much and wanted to have something to look forward to later in the year.

Though having said that, I only saw the film in its entirety for the first time last year, so my love for it is definitely a new-ish thing!

So this was only a second watch.

And just like with the first watch, I loved the film. In fact, I think I loved it more the second time around.

For a start, I found it a lot more emotional this time around. And not just at the end, but I found the beginning of the film, in the present, surprisingly emotional too. 

This film is on the classics list for many reasons, and one of those reasons is because of the chemistry between Jack and Rose (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet). 

Those two characters had an amazing love story, electric chemistry and they share some beautiful iconic scenes. As good as the film's writing and direction are, they are the reason it is so beloved.

While people are usually watching this film to get to the last third, my favourite things about the movie take place in the first two thirds. Watching the relationships develop, getting to know the characters, and ultimately falling in love with the story is why I'll keep coming back to this film for years to come.
