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 Bigelows 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. Camerons involvement may not have been too major and Point Break definitely doesnt 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.
