With James Cameron's Titanic in 3D hitting theaters tomorrow, there's a good chance you will have to don some specs and indulge your lady, who grew up dreaming about being loved the way that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) loves Rose (Kate Winslet). While you will regard this movie-going experience as a major concession on your part, and one clearly worth a night of the freakiest sexcapades you can cook up, she will observe how Jack freezes to death in the frigid North Atlantic so that Rose may survive on a floating wall panel and ask why you don't love her that much.

The thing about Jack's tragic sacrifice: He didn't need to perish. Find out why, and get some ammunition for the heated arguments to come, by reading our countdown of 15 Easily Avoidable Movie Deaths.
