So I know some of these films are SciFi, bt I would put them all in as I would be interested to know whether the SF ones do better than the non-SF ones.

He has made some of the breakthrough movies in the genre. Terminator really put Arnie on the Map, even though he has something ridiculous like 27 lines (words!) of dialogue in the entire movie.
I think many people prefer the sequel, not me though, I am a purist on that one.

The Abyss, which was my favourite movie for about a year when I was 15, was particularly notable for that great 'water tentacle' special effect. It was the beginning of a new type of FX, and was pretty durn amazing the first time I saw it.

Titanic blatantly isn't SF, but many people have it on their top ten lists, and I think it might get a good showing here.

I wonder if anyone will vote for Piranha? *snort*

Here's a link to Cameron's IMDB Entry
 
i voted for true lies. i love that movie! jamie lee curtis is hysterical in that! i love when she does her first little dance! cracks me up every time!:lol:
 
Oh I do like the dance - like a car accident, terrible, but you just can't pull your eyes away ;)


edited for spelling, d'uh me :rolleyes:
 
yeah, but then you have to look back again, even though you don't know why....
 
Told you i'd be here Tabitha! And here i am!

I had to vote Titanic, cos i'm a sucker for all that romantic malarkey *sigh* but Aliens comes in second :)

:fangs:xxx:smokin:
 
It's a tough question--nearly all are brilliant in some way--
But if I have to choose-----It is Abyss. it was a hard physical film to make.. Cameron is a hard taskmaster. I know lots of the actors swore never to work with him again!!!
Despite all the aggravation it remains the best for me.
 
Hey Sammy :wave:

Charlie ---> The Abyss is definitely one of my faves, and knowing all that ifo about how hard it was to shoot makes me admire the performances even more.
I still smile when I remember the fact that the crew had t shirts that read "Life's Abyss and then you dive" :lol:
 
*shakes head* Sammy Sammy Sammy, how did this masterpiece pass you by?
It's great, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Ed Harris and Michael Biehn. The action is set in an underwater mining rig called "DeepCore". An american nuclear submarine crashes nearby (for unknown reasons) and the government sends in a team of Navy Seals to find out why. The rig becomes cut off from the surface and the various tensions between those stuck at the bottom of the ocean come to a head, even as they begin to suspect that they might be alone down there.
The movie has some great action and SFX scenes, and I highly recommend it :)
 
lol, thanks for that Tabitha :D what year was it made? It sounds pretty cool i might see if anybody i know has it :D

:fangs:xxx:smokin:
 
Hey Sammy---put Abyss at the top of your list!!!!!!!
You're in for an exciting evening-- you may end up buying it
 
I liked True Lies well enough, but it isn't a patch on any of Cameron's scifi movies.
I just feel that any half decent action director could have made True Lies, apart from Arnie, there isn't much Cameron about the film.....
 
what i really want to know for sure is whether or not eliza dushku's going to be in it. cause at one point jaime lee curtis told her that she would refuse to do a sequel to the movie unless they made it about eliza.
