Favorite Spielberg Film?

I guess I'm addicted to these favorite *insert director's name* film threads.

Spielberg's made a couple movies you might've seen. Which is your favorite and why?

You missed out Duel which, for me, comes 3rd after Schindler's list and Jaws.

Although it was made for TV so might not count.

SnakeEyes Connoisseur

Yeah, I couldn't fit all of his films on there. Also, I haven't seen Duel; is it good?

And I'm embarrassed to say but... I STILL haven't seen Schindler's List.

RE: Blaxican #gottem

Jurassic Park for me. 2nd place would be Lost World, and third would be... hmm... either Saving Private Ryan or Munich.

Haha...that is shocking.

Duel is one of the most tense films you'll see given that it has one plot point that runs the entire length of the film.

And you really REALLY do need to spare some time to watch Schindler's list.

Re: Favorite Spielberg Film?

Empire of the Sun
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List

My top three favorite from that list. I'd probably give it to Schindler's.

Watch Duel, it's a great film. Low budget, focuses mainly on one character and it's done mostly in inner-monologue. Pure win.

This was a tough decision. It really came down to, Jurassic Park or Saving Ryan. I think it's safe to say that these two movies are easily his most impactful films. It comes down to these two movies, for me, because not only did they both change filming techniques (or technologies, in Jurassic parks case) but they also helped to refine the expectations of film audiences. You will hear people in the film industry often speak about how sophisticated film fans have become and consequentially it has become harder to convince and entertain them. These two movies are prime examples of how this happens. Just like Star Wars, these two movies revolutionized their genres during a time when no one else was trying.

Even though i chose, Saving Private Ryan as my favorite i think, Jurassic Park has to be his most successful film. Yeah, Spielberg may have gotten extremely lucky by accidently stumbling across a very talented graphic arts developer (lets face it we wouldnt be talking about this movie today had it been filmed using stop motion effects like originally intended) but i think the movie best illustrates what kind of visionary, Spielberg can be.

Private Ryan on the other hand...,well i don't think anyone needs to explain why this one is considered as one of, if not, his best. Everything, from the settings, props, costumes, history acting and effects were authentic Even though the movie later adopts a more traditional hollywood war movie, atmosphere, the visceral and sobering action never do. I'm sure it wouldnt be hard to motivate actors on a film set like this movie but some of the performances in this movie are beautifully directed and edited. It changed how we look at war movies and what we expect from them. It also inspired a generation to take more interest in their war veterans. Yeah, ok, the realistic violence and settings may have been the main factors as to why so many scenes from the movie are seared into our heads forever, but it took the vision and drive of spielberg to make it happen

Jaws is by far his best film in my opinion.

Lost World, really? That's one of his worse imo. First Jurassic Park is fantastic though.

1. Schindler's List
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Munich
4. Minority Report
5. Artificial Intelligence: AI

Those are my personal top 5 of his (last two films hugely underrated imo).
