Titanic: Special Collector's Edition on DVD

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio (Aviator, William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet), Kate Winslet (Sense & Sensibility, Finding Neverland), Billy Zane (The Phantom), and veteran actress, Gloria Stuart (The Invisible Man), Titanic released in theaters back in December of 1997 sets sail again to become one of the all time great collector's DVDs. 

Director James Cameron (Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Aliens) brought us a film that would forever change the face of Hollywood epics. His stunning vision of fear, love, honor, kindness, and devotion in the face of death and destruction created a whirlwind of emotions that lured audiences back, time and time again. It would beat Steven Spielberg's E.T. The Extraterrestrial, and George Lucas's Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope as the biggest box-office success in history. Then, to top it all off James Cameron and his crew of talented actors, editors, makeup artists, costume designers, etc. went to the Oscars, and swept up a record-tying 11 Academy Award out of a record-tying 14 nominations.

Brock Lovitt (Bill Paxton; True Lies, Twister) is a salvenger of lost artifacts in the sea, a "pirate" so to speak. He and his crew of miscreants are searching the wreckage of the Titanic, the largest ship of its time for a necklace. This saphire necklace - with a legend similar to that of Hope Diamond necklace is worth quite a bit of money. He brings an antique safe up from the depths of the Atlantic, and discovers nothing but a booklet full of old sketch drawings. One of the sketches is that of a naked woman wearing his precious necklace.

The woman in the sketch is Rose Calvert. She's almost 101. She's had a long life built entirely on her own strength, and she says that she was on the Titanic when it sank. Brock and his crew are skeptical of the old woman, and her story. They bring her aboard to hear what she has to say. Rose Calvert (Stuart) is feisty, stubborn, and ornery. She begins telling the story of how she was brought on board the luxury liner in 1912.
