16 Celine Dion’s “My heart will go on” from Titanic is one of the iconic movie songs. However, Kate Winslet admitted that she hated the song partly due to the fact that people tended to play the song when she was around.
Kate admits that she hates the “love theme song”, She really has some harsh words to say about the song, “I feel like throwing up when I hear it… I wish I could say, “Oh listen, everybody! It’s the Celine Dion song!” But I don’t. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll.”(source)

18 It has been scientifically proved that the drift-board on which Rose floats could have withstood the weight of Rose and Jack. It would also have kept them afloat for more than an hour (time taken to rescue Rose in the movie). All they had to do was tie the life jacket around the driftwood for buoyancy.
Towards the end of the movie, Rose is floating on a wooden board in the freezing Atlantic while her lover Jack Dawson is in the water eventually freezing to death. The die hard fans of Leo felt that both could be saved. The discovery channel show scientifically tested the fan’s theory and proved that fans indeed were correct in their supposition.(source)

19 When Jack is handcuffed to a pole in E deck, he irreverently quips, “I’ll wait here.” – That was not part of the script but Cameron liked it very much so he kept it in.
Leonardo DiCaprio kept the verve of Jack Dawson alive by this impromptu line. The line was not scripted but Cameron felt that the line was too funny to be ignored, so it stayed.(source)
20 The underwater shots in the Titanic were from the actual wreckage of RMS Titanic. Cameron hired the Russian research vehicle Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and its two submersibles MIR 1 & MIR 2 to shoot underwater closeups at a depth of 12,500 feet below the North Atlantic.
The perfectionist in Cameron wanted real wreckage to be shown in his movie. He hired the Russian research vehicle and its 2 submersibles. He made 12 dives at the depths of 12,500 feet below the North Atlantic.(source)
