“Titanic”
One of Kate Winslet’s most iconic works in cinema is in 1997’s “Titanic”. In the story, she plays Rose Dewitt Bukater, a rich young woman who falls in love with a poor artist during the maiden voyage of the Titanic in 1912.

To this day, the film stands out among the most awarded films in Oscar history, after receiving 14 nominations and taking home 11 statuettes.
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Another film starring the British actress is “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, which turned 20 this week. A landmark in the romance genre, the feature film, which also stars Jim Carrey, talks about forgetting (literally) a love that didn’t work out.
In the plot, the character Clementine (Winslet) decides to undergo an experimental treatment that removes from her memory the moments she lived with her ex (Carrey). With the discovery, the boy goes into a deep depression and also undergoes treatment.
However, he ends up giving up trying to forget her halfway through, which after the procedure begins, will be a challenge. The film is available on Netflix.
“The Reader”
Released in 2008, “The Reader” tells the story of a middle-aged lawyer who reflects on an affair he had as a teenager with an older woman who was convicted of Nazi war crimes eight years later.
Available on Netflix, the plot earned Kate Winslet the Oscar for Best Actress, in addition to other awards such as the Bafta and the Golden Globe for her performance as Hanna Schmitz.
“Love Doesn’t Take a Vacation”

At the beginning of this year, the actress revealed in an interview that she is usually more recognized on the streets for this film than for “Titanic”.
