Titanic

Underdog Below average but still in the conversation
1997 · Drama, Romance · James Cameron

44% across 271 head-to-head matchups puts Titanic on the wrong side of average. The record is below the midline, but the distance is not insurmountable. The biggest film of the 1990s now occupies an unusual position: universally known, genuinely loved by millions, and perpetually underestimated by people who think they've outgrown it. The ship sinks, the love story holds, and the scale still has no real peer. Fans decide quickly — 1.7s avg vs 3.5s platform average.

Synopsis

101-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story of her life aboard the Titanic, 84 years later. A young Rose boards the ship with her mother and fiancé. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson and Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets aboard the ship. Rose tells the whole story from Titanic's departure through to its death—on its first and last voyage—on April 15, 1912.

37%, 57%, 56%. Not all bad — the semis at 57% are above average, which gives Titanic something to build on even if the overall record hasn't caught up.

The matchup with Schindler's List is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge. Titanic owns Pulp Fiction at 85% but Interstellar flips the script entirely: just 0%.

Closest Rival

#3 of 4 in James Cameron's filmography. Terminator 2: Judgment Day sets the pace at 60%, but Titanic is competitive with the top of the catalog.
