Solok · 06-05-2009, 06:02 PM

Definitely have to go with Titanic.

DVDave · 06-05-2009, 06:02 PM

Come on, has anybody really seen Xenogenesis?

Moefiz · 06-05-2009, 06:04 PM

Piranah 2: The Spawning....a big let down.

Yes and it only took 12 minutes.

JamesCameronOnline · 06-05-2009, 06:27 PM

to clarify - Cameron didnt really direct Piranha 2. He only started it and lasted 8 DAYS (!) before getting fired. Long story short, someone else directed the movie while Cameron was given credit dyue to contractual issues. check Jim's biography on that

So my choice would be True Lies. Even tho its funny and has terrific FX and actions, I just dont like comedy genre in egenral. Why? cause they expect way too much suspense of disbelief that I can give, the reactions of people are just way too absurd in comedies for me. But it is funny tho, Paxton is golden "c'mon man, I have a small d**k man!"

I have to admit, Titanic was a good film, but at times it's cheezy. That's why it's number one on my Worst Cameron Films.

spolcyc · 06-05-2009, 07:35 PM

of all the films of his I have seen. Terminator is by far the worst.

I just couldn't get into it. How does somone go in the past sleep with the woman who gives birth to the leader of the reseistance and not say to themselves I am sleeping with Sarah Connor. I wonder if John will ever find out. Hehehehe! Horrible plot and bad acting equals bad film. I have seen better story lines in Saturday morning cartoons.

tacoreed · 06-05-2009, 08:28 PM

Without a doubt: Titanic

Purplegrasshopper · 06-05-2009, 09:17 PM

I have no idea how you folks say Titanic is the worse. It's generally accepted to be one of the greatest movies ever made, which is evident by the number of Awards it has won. It is also the highest grossing film of all time. Despite what you may think, the film was a great accomplishment for it's time (1997) in a number of areas - music, editing, visual effects, cinematography, costume design, and on and on. Just because you don't agree with the love story aspect of the film, don't dismiss it. It has many, many redeaming qualities.

Agreed. I don't understand it either. I think its a fantastic film. Definately not one of his worsts.

LynxFX · 06-05-2009, 10:11 PM

I voted too quick, I should have went with The Abyss with The Terminator as a close second as the ones I'm least likely to watch again. I'm ignoring the documentaries and pre-Terminator stuff.

He has only done so many films and they all were great in their own respect so it is hard to choose. His last 3, Titanic, True Lies and T2 are some of my favorite films of all times and the amazing part is that they are 3 completely different genres.
