Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the platonic ideal of sci-fi tentpole sequels. Cameron’s greatest sequel, however, is the follow-up to his 1984 sci-fi action film The Terminator. Mind you, he’s only directed three sequels to date in his illustrious film career, but when one of those is a modern cinematic masterpiece ( Avatar: The Way of Water) and the other casts an indomitable shadow over the landscape of sci-fi horror video games ( Aliens), it’s fair to say he’s more than earned the title. James Cameron’s not just the “ king of the world,” he’s the undisputed king of movie sequels. Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick
