The Most Memorable James Cameron Movies In His Career

By Gordon Ellis


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.

But which films of his are his best? This article will list and discuss my top five 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.

Another awesome film brought to us from the mind of James Cameron was True Lies. If you are looking for an incredible 1990s action film, then look no further. This movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis is as good as it gets.

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.

People have their differences in opinion, but for me, it never got better than the original Terminator film. Kyle Reese goes back in time in this 1984 classic to save Sarah Connor from an evil Terminator sent to kill her, played by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Hopefully there is one or more films from the brilliant James Cameron on this list that you have yet to see.
