Some Of The Greatest Movies From The Iconic, James Cameron

By Alex Gordon


When discussing the greatest directors working today, one person that you commonly hear mentioned is James Cameron. It is truly amazing considering the fact that, by Hollywood standards, James Cameron really hasn't directed that many movies. He just seems to have such a high ratio of amazing films.

This article will highlight what I consider to be the greatest works, we as moviegoers, have been presented by the great James Cameron.

The first movie I will mention is one of his earliest works, and that of course, is Aliens. Who would have thought that Cameron would be able to rival, if not exceed, the brilliant job that Ridley Scott did with the first Alien film.

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.

It is impossible to make a list of James Cameron movies without giving praise to Titanic. Sure, it may not be my favorite movie out of his bunch, but you cannot deny what a phenomenon this movie was. Until recently, it was the highest grossing film of all time.

Of course, no list of Cameron films would be complete without mentioning his true masterpiece, Avatar. This is as good as action and adventure films can be. Avatar was absolutely revolutionary in so many ways, and it came as little surprise to many that it usurped Titanic as the number one box office film of all time.

One movie that certainly must be mentioned on a James Cameron list is the second installment of the Terminator. Terminator 2: Judgment Day shows a new and improved Terminator going back in time to kill John Connor, the future leader of the resistance. Only Arnold can save him.

As it stands, this is my James Cameron best-of list. Let's see what happens when Avatar 2 comes out.
