A delicious video archive from INA, the National Audiovisual Institute, shows just how much influence the romantic drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet has had.

Between audiences who have seen the film multiple times, teenage girls who have taken classes in the room, and excited distributors, INA’s video clearly shows, in one minute, just how much of a phenomenon Titanic has been since its release.

Titanic was released in French cinemas on February 8. The film is still the third-biggest success at the worldwide box office in history with $2.225 billion, followed by Avatar: The Last Airbender at $2.217 billion.
