& Titanic remained number one in the box office for 15 weeks

& The movie won 11 oscars, a number only shared with Ben Hur and The Return of the King.

& The working title for Titanic was "Planet Ice"

& Director James Cameron drew all of Jack´s paintings.

& Carpathia is actually the Titanic, but with a remodled bow.

& The rooms B52, B54, & B56 did exist on Titanic. They were booked for JP Morgan, but he cancelled in last minute.

& 26 copies existed of the dress Rose wears during the sinking.

& When Rose runs into Jack's arms after jumping out of the lifeboat, DiCaprio asked this scene to be shot one more time "for the actors." This time Leonardo lifted Kate up in to the air, and let all his emotions out. Cameron used this version in the movie.

& The closeups of Rose's feet in the "jump" scene is a James Cameron trademark.

& During the "jump" scene Kate Winslet was not hanging over water, but 12 feet off of the ground. Kate Winslet did the majority of her stunts for this scene.

& The scene when old Rose threws the necklace into the ocean, this is actually filmed in the ocean, not in a tank as many believe.

& Numerous copies for the necklace "Heart of the Ocean" were created for the movie, most were created with cheap metal and glass.

& The original screenplay had Old Rose stating that, "Wasn't I a hot number?" after seeing the drawing below water. Gloria Stuart and Cameron decided that line was not in character for Rose and changed the line to, "Wasn't I a dish?"

& The movie budget was set for 120 million dollars but reached 200 million at the end...

& James Cameron himself can be seen during the boarding scene, he is the bearded man with getting examinated.

& All of the props in the movies, EVERYTHING, was reconstruced after origional designs.

& As Rose lay on a door in the atlantic, she looks up at the sky. James Cameron had computer graphics artists generate a vague outline of the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace in the stars.

& Gloria Stuart and James Cameron shared a unique friendship, as Stuart remarks: "He likes me because when I met him, I said, 'What's your name, little boy?' He's just not treated like that. It's always, 'Yes, Mr. Cameron' or, 'Whatever you want, Mr. Cameron.' Now he's crazy about me, and I'm crazy about him."

& The part of Caledon Hocklet demanded that Billy Zane wore a wig.

& Dicaprio found it challenging to jump into the cold water fully-clothed, as Cameron recalls: "Leo was like a cat. He always made this big drama about getting wet."

& Frances Fisher always brought a huge bag of sweets with her on the set every day, with something for everyone.

& Dicaprio's nickname for Winslet during the filming was "Katie Cane."

& After filming was completed, crew members distributed T-shirts with the logo, "I survived working with James Cameron."

& Keanu Reeves and Gywneth Paltrow were the first choices of James Cameron to play the roles of Jack and Rose.

& Leonardo DiCaprio said once that the only way he was able to live through the shooting was to complain about everything.

& During the lovescene in the car, DiCaprio and Winslet were covered in gel to indicate the sweat of passion.

& Just before the drawing scene, Jack says to Rose "to lay down on the bed... the couch". The origional line was "lie down on the couch" But DiCaprio made an honest mistake but Cameron however liked it so much that he kept it.

& Gloria Stuart, being "only" 86, was aged by makeup to play Rose at age 101. She did not find this a pleasant experience.

& When Jack sneaks onto the first class deck in search of Rose, we see a young boy playing with a top as his father looks on. This is based on a famous photograph taken aboard Titanic.

& The bedtime story the Irish mother tells her children is the story of "The Children of Lir," an old Irish folktale about children turned into swans.

& After filming, the remains of the full-size set were sold as scrap metal.

& After sampling the caviar provided for the first-class dinner scene, Jonathan Hyde (who plaied Isamy) said he "made an acting decision on the spot that Ismay was a big eater".

& After finding out that she had to be naked in front of DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to break the ice, and when they first met, she flashed him.

& Shay Duffin, who played the pubkeeper in England, is related to one of the original Irish workers who built the Titanic.

& Jack says "Rose" 76 times.

& During the shooting of the flying scene, Kate Winslet was so excited about the beautiful sunset that she was jumping up and down screaming at director James Cameron to being filming before it was too late.
