1. The Movie
James Cameron’s 1997 film was not the first to tell the tale of Titanic, but it remains the most successful. It grossed $2-billion. If you recall, that was about the net worth of John Jason Astor IV in today’s money. Cameron leveraged every tool his shed to bring the story to life, huge models of the ship, and computer-generated graphics. The final product won 11 Oscars, pairing it with Ben Hur for first place. Since then, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has joined them in first place.
