The Essential James Cameron – 5 Must Watch Movies
James Cameron is one of the finest directors in Hollywood today. As part of the Hollywood elite, Cameron has spearheaded some of the biggest technological innovations in cinema. His groundbreaking work in special effects can be seen in movies like Aliens, Terminator, etc. As we prepare for the release of his latest movie, Avatar, let’s refresh our memory about Cameron’s earlier movies.
1. Terminator
This was the movie where it all began. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a star making role, plays a robot who has been sent back from the future to kill a rebel leader’s mother (thereby ensuring that the leader is not even born). Linda Hamilton plays the female lead. A terrific storyline, some great music, and (then) groundbreaking special effects make this a treat for all sci-fi fans.
2. Aliens
After Terminator, Cameron took over the reins of the Alien franchise. The first movie, Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, was a sci-fi horror movie. In the sequel, Cameron upped the ante by making it into an action-thriller. A crew of marines are sent to a human base on a distant planet to investigate the strange occurrences there. Once on the planet, the marines learn that the base was attacked by aliens and they must find a way to get back to earth. This movie pretty much created the ‘space-marine’ genre.
3. Terminator 2
Cameron came back to the Terminator franchise, but made it bigger and badder. This time, Arnold Schwarzenegger played a good terminator sent back through time to protect a 12 year old future rebel leader. Some great chemistry between Arnold and the 12 year old actor (Edward Furlong), amazing action, and awesome special effects made this one of the highest grossing movies of the 90s.
4. True Lies
True Lies is an interesting addition to the James Cameron canon. A spy thriller that has ample elements of a family comedy thrown in, True Lies is a movie about a spy (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) who leads a seemingly normal life as an accountant at home. Great action, and a humorous sub plot make this one of the most curios of Cameron’s movies.
5. Titanic
Titanic, like the ship, was a mammoth success. It is still the highest grossing movie of all time with over 1.8 Bn dollars in worldwide gross. In addition to that, this story of the doomed ship took home 11 Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. One of the biggest cinematic successes ever.
