Titanic (1997)

A treasure-hunting team recruits an old woman to help them find a necklace in the ocean. They fly her over and she proceeds to move her entire life’s possessions on board before telling them a very long story that does not help them at all. Then we find out she had the necklace the whole time but she doesn’t tell them this and instead drops it in the ocean. Hilariously baffling narrative framework aside, the titular story in the middle is a good one: grandly romantic, exciting, and well-filmed.

  1. I don’t mind spoilers. I have never actually seen the movie and did not realize that there was the narrative about the old woman who recalls the events; I just thought it was about a romance on a sinking ship. I remember my main reason for not watching the movie when it came out was because it was too overly popular. Perhaps now I might enjoy it!
