Five Best Spielberg Movies
 
This is INCREDIBLY difficult list to make since the man has so many classics under his belt, but imo... here's his top 5. And I know my list might be a bit controversial, because Schindler's List comes just shy of making it.

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark

2. Jaws

3. Saving Private Ryan

4. Jurassic Park

5. Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Honorable Mentions: Schindler's List, E.T., Duel, The Color Purple, Tie between Catch Me if You Can and Minority Report

I have pretty weird Spielberg preferences i think:

01. Jaws
02. Temple of Doom
03. Catch Me If You Can
04. Close Encounters
05. Schindlers List

Here's all 16 i've seen ranked, some i've not seen in years - https://letterboxd.com/camarel/list/...elberg-ranked/

1. Schindler’s List
2. Jaws
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. E.T.
5. Lincoln

Tried to pick the most Spielberg Spielberg films. Schindler’s is his ascend to utter reverence, Jaws the birth of the blockbuster, Raiders and E.T. are childhood bliss with adult undertones and Lincoln is the beard with nothing left to prove and at his most ideal.

Anyone see his HBO documentary? It was nice. Love Daniel Day’s final comment on shelf life.

I should also shoutout Close Encounters as it’s almost the reverse of Spielberg’s family attitudes in his later career. A young man’s film through and through.

Think you'd like Catch Me If You Can more than Schindler's List. It's weirder to me that you haven't seen Catch Me If You Can.

In this order:

Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jaws
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

The first two bring me to tears every time.

Both Amistad and The Terminal are excellent films.

I've never seen War Horse. Looks like I'm not missing much..
