10 Movies That Gave Away The Spoiler Immediately
10. Titanic (1997)
It's safe to say there would have been few people going into James Cameron's epic romance/real-life disaster flick Titanic who weren't already familiar with the fate of the ship and its occupants in 1912. But Cameron, being a stickler for detail, wasn't happy to just let such assumptions lie.
In the film's opening sequence, a present day crew dive to recover objects from the ship's wreckage, showing us the tremendous devastation facing the voyage, which in terms of the film's story is still many hours of screentime away. The crew pick over details of what happened in 1912, as they rove around the parts of the ship, taking in the objects that went down with it and the damage inflicted by the iceberg that sank it. To make things even clearer, Cameron also has the crew create a digital graphic of the ship striking the ice, tipping on its end and splitting in the middle -- exactly as it will happen later in the movie.
But that's not where his spoilerific fun ends, oh no. He also introduces one of the film's romantic couple, Rose (Gloria Stuart/Kate Winslet) as an old woman, revealing not only that she survives the Titanic, but that Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack doesn't.
