"Gut-wrenching" = literally: capable of wrenching (twisting under great pressure) your guts. Just think of how you would feel if your guts were being twisted and you felt acute pain, and you could not breathe normally.... That's what those scenes of the new version of "Titanic" are supposed to make spectators feel! :-)

If you have been in parel, or in trouble- any you have had a feeling of butterflies (or on a theme-park ride): multiply that several times and you may know gutwrentching.

Your gut is your stomach/intestines. To wrench something is to pull and twist it, harshly. So the idea of "gut-wrenching" is something that makes you feel as if your stomach is being twisted and pulled out of your body.
