It’s been 40 years since The Terminator, and by extension, Arnold Schwarzenegger, were introduced to the world. It was James Cameron’s first movie (he apparently doesn't count Piranha II) and it's arguably still Cameron's best movie.

The filmmaker stands by his dialogue, though: "Let me see your three-out-of-the-four-highest-grossing films — then we’ll talk about dialogue effectiveness."

The Terminator is a 1984 film directed by James Cameron. The movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator.
