Titanic currently dominates WALL·E 65–35
The unsinkable ship edges out the lonely robot.
The Verdict Decade Duel
Cameron builds the Titanic love story around a class structure that the sinking destroys — Jack and Rose can only exist in the gap between first class and steerage, and the ship's death is the gap closing. Stanton builds the WALL·E love story around a communication gap — a robot who can barely speak trying to connect with one who's forgotten how to feel. Both directors use structural obstacles to generate romantic tension. The lead says the physical obstacle — an actual ship sinking into an actual ocean — generates more engagement than the communicative one. The love story with the bigger backdrop wins, though both backdrops are extraordinary in different mediums.
