    James Cameron isn’t really a storyteller, though. He pushes technological marvels in his films. He cares if it looks good.

    1984 The Terminator
    1986 Aliens
    1989 The Abyss
    1991 Terminator 2: Judgment Day
    1994 True Lies
    1997 Titanic

    I think the majority of these films had story aspects that captured people’s imaginations and made an impact on popular culture, not just because of the special effects.

    It might be because of the writers and people outside of Cameron, but the films were good from a story perspective.
