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.

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.

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.

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.

These are just some of the best James Cameron movies. Anything he has put out is worth seeing.
