About this converter
Lightstorm lists an official theatrical runtime for every Cameron feature, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. The scale runs from the 94 minute Piranha II to the 194 minute Titanic. Early action tales cluster near 140 while epics run longest. This table keeps all nine Cameron theatrical features with credits included, as published by the studios and the BBFC. No other Cameron feature exists, so nine rows cover the full set.
How to use it
Pick two films and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Titanic against Piranha II to feel the 100 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Special edition cuts of The Abyss, Aliens and Terminator 2 run longer and stay out. Television edits that trim for broadcast are left out. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Titanic at 194 tops the table, with Avatar The Way of Water at 192 next.
