When Cameron Was Good
James Cameron made something here that was so unique and so ahead of its time that it just baffles me how far he has fallen off. Sure Ahnuld doesn't say much in The Terminator. However, does he really have to speak? He wrecks shit and the dynamic between Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn is great. I love Lance Henrickson and Paul Winfield in this as well. I have seen this movie so many times that I just can't not watch it when it is available. Great stuff.
