There is little argument that James Cameron is one of the greatest minds, if not the greatest, behind the lens in Hollywood today. It seems that every film Cameron comes out with is revolutionary in its own way. He is never afraid to break new barriers and try things that have never been tried before.
When discussing his greatest movies, though, it is tough to choose. Here are some of my favorites.
One movie that must be discussed when talking about James Cameron films is the 1986 sequel, Aliens. This film is ranked on the Internet Movie Database as the number 54 film of all time, and with good reason. Cameron did this franchise justice.
Simply put, True Lies is one of the greatest action films of all time. This movie is adrenaline overload. It has got it all. Snowmobiles, fighter jets, horses jumping across buildings, motorcycle chases within a building and of course, the tango.
Another amazing James Cameron film is Titanic. Aside from its financial successes, this movie had some revolutionary CGI in it. The one scene in particular that comes to mind is the part where the boat is faced right side up and everyone is falling off. This is computer animated, but it is really hard to tell.
Avatar obviously makes the cut for any true James Cameron film. I had the privilege of going to the filming of Inside The Actor's Studio with James Cameron, and it was amazing to hear everything he had to say about this movie. Sounds like the second installment will focus more on the underwater life of Pandora.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. James Cameron created a serious movie with the first Terminator, but it was the second film that created a franchise. I still remember seeing T-1000 for the first time and being blown away by the special effects.
Hopefully there is one or more films from the brilliant James Cameron on this list that you have yet to see.
