While it did get several elements of the sinking wrong, it still managed to recreate the panic and fear of the actual event, according to survivors.

And plus, while not entirely true-to-life, the sinking of the Titanic in the '97 film is (And I will stand by this) one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Everyone who seen it remembers it, and again, while it'd be nice to have it more true to the actual sinking, it works perfectly in the context of the film.
