I disagree on a few points there. From your post, I get the impression that Spielberg has very few great films. Which of course is false, IMO. And not only has 'berg explored more genres, but also has Much more experience as a director.

Agreed, preysin is deluded to the point where he thinks AOTC is a good movie.
Spielberg's films are much more focused on....well...the whole movie experience kind of thing, the story, the characters etc...
Lucas focuses too much on one thing and forgets to pick up the rest. Namely, too much CGI, not enough acting. He's spent far too long on his one visionary story of Star Wars (and crapped out on half of the saga), and hasnt branched out enough on other projects. It's not like he lacks creativity or originality. He could do well if he thought of other ideas....independant films rather than a continuing story. And then he goes back to try and make his films better by editing parts...and screws them up more!
People think of Spielberg, and they think good movies.
People think of Lucas, and they think Star Wars. 'Nuff said.
THere is absolutely no comparrison between Lucas and Speilberg. NONE
Speilberg is by far a better director. He makes absolutely amazing films. You could probably take all of Lucas's films and put them up against 1/5 of Speilbergs films and then maybe you'll get a close race.
TO compare. both can make great fantasy movies...... but even then to compare the breakthroughs made with star wars and jurassic park and who framed roger rabbit........makes a good argument.

Spielberg is an unbelievable Producer and some of his Movies are my favorite.
Could anyone honestly say they were disgusted by one of his movies? Truly.
I thought "The Terminal" was shit. Just another bone thrown to Tom Hanks after "Road to Perdition".

Really disliked A.I., and I think he just took the complete wrong approach to the Jurassic Park movies. And yeah, The Terminal was pretty craptastic. But I wouldn't say I was 'disgusted' by any of them, no.
I was disgusted by the fact that the twin towers appeared in AI. (which is supposed to take place in the future.)
Catch Me If You Can and Minority Report really sucked, imo.

Wow, you're stupid.
Do you really expect Spielberg to see a few years into the future?
Either you're being sarcastic (Which is horrid, and the joke wasn't funny) or you really did screw up and you're a moron.
Spielberg has made a lot of shit films in his time
E.T.
Jaws
War of the Worlds
But Lucas has had a lot of good films
Star Wars - entire saga
THX 1138
Lucas was also the mastermind behind Indiana Jones but Spielberg did an excellent job bringing them to life
not that spielberg hasnt had his brilliant films
he has
Munich was a breathtakingly marvelous film which was both powerful and emotionally gripping and made you feel for the characters when one of them died it felt like a very good friend had died
Saving Private Ryan is his best film by very very far Tom Hanks is amazing as Capt John Miller and Matt Damon, Edward Burns and Tom Sizemore are all fantastic and the battle scenes are not only realistic but play out like actual footage from battles and the attention which is paid to the detail is the best in cinematic history

"Jaws" and "E.T." among Spielberg's worst? I'll respect your opinion, but I nor anyone else, will respect it because it's without basis. They're landmark films that launched careers an inspired generations of filmmakers.
Lucas only directed ONE of the original "Star Wars" movies. The "New Trilogy" has been horribly written, horribly acted, and horribly directed. Direction is what's in question, not writing or producing. "Indiana Jones" is a masterpiece? It's about an adventerous archeologist, and Lucas wasn't alone in that venture, either.
Let's be fair.

I thought American Graffiti was really good too... But other than those (Graffiti, THX and A New Hope) I don't think there's anything else that displays much directing talent on Lucas's part. Spielberg, on the other hand, has made a huge number of good films, some great ones, and a few excellent.To be honest, I think all the fame and fortune went to Lucas's head. As is evidenced by what became of the Star Wars franchise. He turned it into a blockbuster, when it started as a creative, inspired, innovative and artistic independent film.
As a technological visionary: Lucas. As a director: Spielberg.
once again Devil Dodo you make such great points that again I got to say I could not have said it better myself.Got to go with Spielberg since Lucas never did anything amazing after A New Hope where Spielberg made many great films.
