Yeah I would have mentioned empire strikes back as well along with new hope but Lucas didnt direct Empire and I also would have mentioned Batman Begins and The Dark Knight by Nolan but he hasnt made many films yet is the ONLY reason I left him out but he has made at least a handful so I for sure need to mention him and those films as well.

Terminater two is a close second to Titanic for me of Camerons films.

Irvin Kershner directed The Empire Strikes Back.

I find it more amusing that he has Eli Roth in his top 5... 😛 😛

Not over here. I got Aliens and Avatar over Titanic as of now. I don't hate Titanic like most though.

Yeah, I got:

1. Aliens
2. T2
3. Terminator
4. Avatar
5. True Lies

Then Titanic & the Abyss are close.

T2, Aliens, Terminator for me - don't really care for any of his other films.
