James Cameron’s epic movie Titanic captured the hearts of millions and changed just how big a blockbuster could actually be.

After opening in December 1997 the movie stayed at number 1 for 15 weeks in a row and became such a massive cultural phenomenon that it didn’t close in theatres until nearly one year later in October 1998.

On this episode of History of the 90s, host Kathy Kenzora looks back at the making of Cameron’s juggernaut and explores the controversial question, could Jack have fit on the door with Rose.
