James Cameron is one of the most successful directors in Hollywood.

He directed enough great movies. One of them is T2, my favorite one.

What is your favorite/
 
The Abyss: Director's Cut only is my personal favorite.

I also like Terminator better than Terminator 2. You can't beat the rawness of Terminator yo!

That is the main reason I consider The Terminator better than T2 and Cameron's best. Everything about that movie is just plain raw. The violence, the chases, the shootouts..everything.

T2, as great as the movie is, looks too polished and choreographed...the action scenes especially. The "stylized" action in T2 has nothing on the raw gun battle in Technoir, Kyle Reese driving recklessly through LA, leaning out the window with a sawed off shotgun battling with the T-800 while driving insanely fast, the police station shootout. That was Cameron at his best before the big budgets took over.
 
I'm torn between Aliens and T2. So I went with Aliens, only because It reminds me of my childhood (watching with my cousins when I was 4).
 
Damn...hard decision

Id have to go with True Lies, slightly over Aliens and Terminator 2
 
Definitely Terminator 2 : Judgement Day
 
Aliens hands down. Sure, T2 was undoubtedly breath-taking but then again it also stops making any kind of sense as soon as you start to ponder over a lot of the small, unexplained (and often illogical) details in the plot.

Aliens, however, aside from it's dated special effects, is absolutely perfect - the writing's smart, there's a real sense of urgency and even though there's almost nowhere near as much gore as in the first film, the film is downright terrifying. You really get the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in an isolated facility with nowhere to run and aliens closing in on you from all sides. And best of all, the film never lets up and gets progressively more tense as it approaches the end. I swear by the time I first saw Ripley squaring off with the Queen Alien my heart was up to my throat pounding so fast as if I had just been in a 50km marathon. And more than 20 years after the film's release, I have yet to experience such a thrilling sensation.

:up:
 
Each one except Pirahna are classics, but T2 takes the cake, nearly perfect.
 
T2.

And I guess I'm one of the few who prefer the original Alien over the sequel. Not that Aliens was bad in any way, shape or form.
 
Piranha Part Two: The Spawning
 
T2 and True Lies.

Oh how I love True Lies. :)
 
Aquaman....



T2 followed by True Lies..it's close
 
Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Titanic with True Lies close behind
 
I'm sorry, but it's a tie b/w T2 and Aliens. If you really have to make me choose, I'll have to say T2.

It's the T-1000, *****! :o

It was faster-paced, more action-packed and visually stunning. It remains as one of my favourite movies of all-time with Aliens behind it.
 
T2 sucked "You can't go around killing people" yea some really crappy dialogue there.
 
All are classics except Piranha, But Aliens is definately my favourite and the best IMO. T1 is very close behind it though, and T2 would be third for me.
