Terminator's woman survived because of her spunk, resourcefullness, and her strength, which she discovered during the course of the film. A tribute to women, given that most films make them victims, generally stupid and dead, surviving only by luck. Titanic's heroine survived because of a man - he let her stay on the floating furniture while he sunk to his watery grave, and he led her to safety from the giant tomb which was to be the ship. Her survival had less to do with her than him. In these respects, I think the films are different. I would argue that in that respect Terminator is more akin to Halloween.
