There is no one in the world who would know that such a movie and would not watch the films of James Cameron. But David Cameron also loves to watch movies, and does it regularly, with family and without, happily discussing what he liked. Here are his favorites.
Favorite movies James Cameron
Star wars: Episode IV – a New hope
James Cameron likes to tell that as soon as he looked at this picture, he immediately dropped to work as a truck driver and went into the film industry. In fact, he to this point had been writing the scripts, and the first one was “Terminator”. But the fact remains – released “Star wars”, and very soon in the credits of the film of Roger Corman’s “Battle beyond the stars” has a new name. And soon was the directorial debut of Cameron.
“However, as much as I loved “Star wars” and what would be the revolution of the film nor contributed to the industry, it was still a step to the side. That is, science fiction has been a literature of ideas and themes. But after the movie things have shifted, science fiction became pure entertainment, such titulesco on the screen. I miss the old attitude to the genre.”

Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
“I remember always going on the films of Stanley Kubrick with an incredible sense of pleasant anticipation, and each time he feared what he would surprise me now. And he always succeeded! I think I have learned that nothing is impossible to do twice.”

2001: a Space Odyssey
“Generally, any Kubrick film is my favorite. But this has made me the strong impression when I was young. Even if now this picture I have not the most favorite of all, but she always remained somewhere deep inside of me, she has a special place in my heart. When I looked at it, it’s like I went from someone who likes to watch movies, to the one who does it. When I started work in this direction.”

The godfather
“…And half of all of the films Coppola. Apparently, this is the first half of his work. I find it very difficult to choose, but if you just need to do it, the way it will be “the Godfather”.

Matrix
“I looked up this movie! I at some point tired of hearing from all sides, what a brilliant movie, and went to see it myself. Excellent picture! A completely new approach to science fiction, and even strange that someone was able to figure it out. This film is amazing, you are totally immersed in it.”

Solaris
When I was talking about how to make an American version of the film, Cameron really wanted to make a film. In the end he to do failed, but he is very proud that he was able to be in the movie at least a producer.

Hard boiled
John Woo is one of my favorite authors, James Cameron, especially in the early period of his work when he began to imitate the whole world and when his methods have not become a reason for self-citation. Cameron and in General is following very closely the Eastern genre cinema, and he loves anime, so when these movies come out in the US, distributors are often asked Cameron to use on the cover of a film.

Resident evil
When Cameron admitted that his main movie from the category of guilty pleasure – “Resident evil”, it caused a furor with fans. And Cameron said that was not going to justify it. The movie he likes, and that’s it.

Gravity
“I was just numb with delight. This is probably the best shooting space that ever happened in history, and the best movie about space ever created. I’m such a film have waited a very long time. It is interesting that the story is still about people, it is an unprecedented story about a woman who fights for her life in zero gravity”.

The wizard of Oz

Cameron succinctly puts this movie on the first place among the favorites. And it is possible not to comment.
