YOU JUMP, i jump

Described as "flawlessly crafted, intelligently constructed, strongly acted, and spellbinding," by Roger Ebert, Cameron's telling of Titanic's tragic voyage left an indelible mark on '90s pop culture.

Regardless of gender, memorable phrases like "You jump, I jump," and "Make it count," are subconsciously embedded in the vernacular of 30-to-40-somethings around the globe. Judge us if you must, but for many a millennial, the love story of Jack and Rose resonates as our generation's Romeo and Juliet.

TITANIC the inspiration

To the surprise of many, Cameron's inspiration to bring the British ocean liner's 1912 demise to the big screen was born from his fascination with shipwrecks.

A highly experienced diver, it was during a 2009 interview with Playboy Magazine that Cameron shared Titanic was "the Mount Everest of shipwrecks" for him.

I made Titanic because I wanted to dive to the shipwreck, not because I particularly wanted to make the movie. The Titanic was the Mount Everest of shipwrecks, and as a diver I wanted to do it right. When I learned some other guys had dived to the Titanic to make an IMAX movie, I said, 'I’ll make a Hollywood movie to pay for an expedition and do the same thing.' I loved that first taste, and I wanted more. —James Cameron, Playboy Magazine
