Steven Spielberg's Best Movie

[Rushman14]

I just got done watching Spielberg's first film "Duel" again last night and it got me thinking about how many great movies this guy has made. There have been a few clunkers (Hook) but for the most part, this is a tough choice. I have a feeling Raider's is gonna take but i went with Minority Report. I absolutely love that film.

[Presto-digitation]

Gotta go with Jaws. Schindler's would be my next....

[Necromancer]

I just watched Saving Private Ryan for the bazillionth time and still love that movie. I also love Catch Me if you Can, but it doesn't have the power that Ryan has. Nothing else on this list has that power. One of the best movies of all time, period.

I voted Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Jaws was a close 2nd.

Had to go with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Such an iconic film, and I never get tired of watching it.

[PariahDog]

Very close between Close Encounters and Raiders, but I had to go with Raiders.

 

For me, Raiders ranks right up there with SW and ESB. But Close Encounters is not far behind.

I will have no credibility for saying this but I loved War Of The Worlds.

 

Lots of great ones

 

Wasn't Poltergeist a Spielberg movie ? I loved that one and its not on the list.

Spielberg produced it. Tobe Hooper directed.

"Saving Private Ryan," although I love many of his films. "Minority Report" deserves a mention on my list.

[rushgoober]

Jeez that's hard - so many great movies on that list.

 

I gave it to Close Encounters, but maybe only because it captured my imagination so much as a kid in a way few other movies had.

 

Really though, I could have easily chosen so many others. Second would probably be Schindler's List.

I went with Schindler's List barely over Raiders of the Lost Ark and Catch Me if You Can.

I can't decide among Ryan, Schindler's List or Close Encounters.....

[thesweetscience]

I have been thinking about it and I can't decide. So many movies there that I could watch over and over.

Tough to choose between "Jaws," "Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List."

 

Here we are in the age of CGI, and "Jaws," despite it's fake mechanical shark, has aged remarkably well. That movie still delivers. The other two I mentioned are probably Spielberg's two best accomplishments, both technically and dramatically.

Y'know... i never seen Schindler's List yet.

 

That good huh? Probably gonna get it.

[RUSHHEAD666]

Tough poll. I can't decide!! Either JAWS, RAIDERS or CLOSE ENCOUNTERS!

 

 

E.T. PHONE HOME!

I still consider Poltergeist a Spielberg movie, if just for the fact it looks, sounds, and feels like a Spielberg movie. I'd pick that one as my fave if it were listed.

 

Since it isn't, I'll pick Jaws. I hate CGI - somehow it looks computer generated.
