I have a few favorite scenes from the Titanic movie! The first one was the
scene where they show Rose and her family boarding Titanic to an uncertain
future. I couldn't believe how much luggage they took with them on their trip!
Incredible! My other favorite scene was when Jack and Rose were trying to
escape from Lovejoy by running through different sections of the ship. They
went from B deck, down an elevator to the bottom and ran thru the boiler room
and finally find the cargo hold. My alltime favorite would have to be the
ending scene where Rose appears on the Titanic and meets all the people who
went down and then she sees Jack at the top of the Grand Staircase! That was a
very nice scene indeed.

>Incredible!

Not so incredible if you consider that in that era, each meal or activity
required a change of clothes, especially for the women, with gloves, jewelry
and other accessories. Also Rose and her mother had probably "Shopped till
they dropped" (Some things never change) at all the major London and Paris
Fashion houses. (Rose as a mall rat, the mind boggles...)

I would have to choose the bow scene as my favorite.

My favourites would have to be the fillowing shots:

The whole collision scene. This is where it all begins, and you know from then
on out its the beginning of the end.

The scene where they fire a rocket and the camera is looking down on the ship,
and theres nothing for miles around besides water.

Then there's the scene where Rose surfaces for air after the ship sinks and is
screaming. The camera pulls out and all you see and hear is a horde of
screaming people. THAT stuck with me for a long time.

All depressing of course, but no scenes capture the essence of Titanic for me
more than these.

even in slow motion..to see an artists hands create something so
beautiful..OK..i confess..i LOVE Kates boobs!!

My favorite scene was when he slipped her the note that said to make it
count and meet him at the clock. She felt so trapped by her life and he
offered her a chance to escape for awhile

new that this could be a risky situation but that it was a chance to
finally be herself so as they say "Go for it"....

Mine is definitely the steerage party. It is the happiest point in the
movie, where everything is carefree yet you have at the back of your
mind the thought that most of these people will die.

My favourite is the scene when Jack and Rose are talking about the art on
the deck of the Titanic. The scene that goes like
Rose: You see things
Jack: I see you...
Rose: And?

I like the smile that Rose shows, only to see it fade when Jack replies:
You wouldn't of jumped!

Hello All,

My favourite scene in the movie Titanic would have to be the scene
where jack & rose are in the water waiting for help to arrive...& Rose
discovers that Jack is dead...That scene has my emotions running
wildly every single time...It is soo sad, when she found out the love
of her lfie is dead...

Nigel.

I agree. Every time I see that seen, it makes me smile. I also like the seen
when Rose meets Jack at the front end of the ship and tells him that she
changed her mind about wanting to be with him. I thought that was the most
touching seen in the movie

Titanic leaving Southampton - not the sepia footage, but the later
'real-time scene. Love that music best too.

The slow dissolves from the Titanic wreck to the new, fresh, gleaming
ship; there's one near the beginning, and one right at the end.

The long shot of the boat after 'Take her to sea, Mr Murdoch'.

The shot of Titanic tiny and alone in a vast calm dark ocean, before she
hits the iceberg.

The bow dipping under the water as she sinks.

Yes, Jane - those dissolves kind of bewitched me and make me realize
for the first time what it must have been like to be on or even near
that ship. The ship in life. No other Titanic movie has shown me
this. For that reason, the death of the ship, and its passengers,
affected me more than other movies based on this story have.


>The long shot of the boat after 'Take her to sea, Mr Murdoch'.

For me, just the shot of the Captain and Murdoch in this scene and
the additional words, "Let's stretch her legs." (Titanic as
seahorse?) The cinematography just on these two rather magnificent
faces and then the beginning of the long shot from there and the
music that accompanies it ... always gets to me.


>The shot of Titanic tiny and alone in a vast calm dark ocean, before she
>hits the iceberg.

And after, as it tries to communicate with no one in particular
with its distress-flares.


>The bow dipping under the water as she sinks.

Really powerful images. I can't believe this movie still gets to me
when I read descriptions of certain moments.

On first viewing my favorite scene was the "nude scene." No joke. To me
it signalled the beginning of the end. It tied the past with the present
and with the future. Nicely done.

My "second" favorite scene was the time when Rose loses her hold on Jack
and you see him plunging deeper into the sea. You just weren't sure if he
could make it back up or not, particularly with hundreds nearby kicking to
stay alive.

My "third" favorite scene was when Jack ascends to the heavens like an
angel while Rose descends in the lifeboat.

My "fourth" favorite scene was when Brock and others mention that there are
no records of Jack with Rose adding that she doesn't even have a picture of
him. The sense of loss reaches its peak at this point.

Hello Nigel My favorite scene is the dancing scene, because I like Celtic
music. By the way, I live in Japan and many people go to movie theater to
watch the Titanic, especially women. Most of Japanese women become Titanic
fan. Many women say Titanic is the impressive movie. I agree that Titanic is
a good movie, but I can't understand why so many women say that it's very
impressive. I think that "Titanic" and "City of Angels" are the best romantic
movies that I've watched this year. That is for Women, and this is for men. I
like "City of Angels" much better. Taku
