• The Titanic, that gigantic 'unsinkable' ship, which has since become a popular cultural and film phenomenon. There can be no mistake, that since the ship went down in 1912, few other ships have had such an impact on culture or cinema.
• In literature, the Titanic has formed the basis of novels, either fictionalised or not.
• In media and entertainment, the Titanic sinking has made a bigger impact still. It has featured in a variety of TV films and movies.
• However, the most recent Titanic films have made the biggest box-office impact of all. The TV mini-series of 1996 was a prelude to the biggest box office hit in cinema history.
• The 1997 film, with a huge budget, set out to make the most realistic Titanic film in terms of historic details, with a fictional sub-plot. It broke box-office records
  , and it is easily the most viewed Titanic film. In addition it won 11 Academy Awards.
• Titanic video games have also become available. Most recently Starship Titanic, which in fact is not based on the RMS Titanic boat, but a star-ship by the same name. The 1996 game, Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, is more accurate.
• Unquestionably, the Titanic has a popular culture, which has been best served through cinema.
• The success of the most recent Titanic film has put the ship at the forefront of box-office history, ahead of such films like Star Wars. :) ..thats cause the titanic was amazing! :)
