Top Ten Works of James Cameron

7. Point Break (1991)

Executive Producer The previously mentioned Point Break rides in at number seven on the list €“ Cameron acted as Executive Producer for his then wife Kathryn Bigelow€™s adrenaline soaked surfing action thriller. Point Break is unashamedly dumb, silly and over the top yet it has developed a huge cult following in the almost two decades since its release. Cameron€™s involvement may not have been too major and Point Break definitely doesn€™t fit the Cameron template, but as one of the definitive nineties action movies it deserves a spot on this list. Although there is much to mock in Point Break, there is also a great deal to savour; Swayze gives one of his finest performances as zen-like surf guru Bodhi, The Ex-Presidents is one of the greatest bank robbing gimmicks of all time and it has a bonkers action sequence with a parachute-less Reeves diving from a plane. Reeves might not have the best acting range but he is actually perfectly cast here as the not too bright Johnny Utah, hell, even Gary Busey is bearable here; something just clicks with Point Break and it will no doubt continue to enjoy its cult status for many a year to come.
