James Cameron


The Terminator (1984) James Cameron would introduce the franchise that would generate 3 sequels and a TV series.  Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a cybernetic organism that in sent to the past (present day)to kill the mother (Linda Hamilton) of a rebel leader.  


The Terminator: Judgement Day  T2 (1991)  Cameron follows up with what would be the best of the lot. This one really pushed the boundaries of special effect, often leaving you wondering how the hell that happened.  Schwarzenegger gets to be the good guy in this one.  Same kind of machine with different instruction manual.

Titanic (1997) The ultimate date movie.  A man and woman from different sides of the tracks, come together and fall in love at the worst possible time, in the worst possible place.  Cameron's attention to detail is uncanny.  Although Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett give great performances, the star of this one is the ship.  It is hard to imagine that they are not actually aboard The Titanic on it's doomed maiden voyage.
