Cameron, who directed Titanic and Avatar - the two highest-grossing movies of all time - is described as "almost the entire reason why [3D] is no longer viewed exclusively as a sideshow gimmick".
The Film Power top ten are as follows:
- James Cameron
- Steven Spielberg
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- John Lasseter
- Brad Pitt
- Christopher Nolan
- Scott Rudin
- Quentin Tarantino
- George Clooney
