Rank the Steven Spielberg Films You've Seen
 

Not sure if any of you guys watch Collider, but they just did a top 10 series for Spielberg's films. I was just wondering how you guys would rank the Spielberg movies you've seen.

I flip-flop Raiders and Jaws as my #1 all the time.

This, but i still havent seen Schindlers list.

It's a great movie, but not one I'd ever care to re-watch.

Re: Rank the Steven Spielberg Films You've Seen
 

From what ive seen i love the cinematography and atmosphere. I also tend to like harsher stories. That said i didnt care that much for SPR.

Everyone I knows says they cannot re-watch Schindler's List but I find myself rewatching it over and over again, like 2-3 times a year. It's that good!

Some of Spielberg's most underrated movies in my opinion are A.I., The Terminal, and Munich. Those do not get enough credit.

The Steven Spielberg movies I've seen are entitled and rated as follows:

A) Jaws: A good movie, but I can take it or leave it.

B) Schindler's List: An excellent film, which although rather disturbingly powerful in many ways, is necessary, and everybody should see it.

C) Polar Express: An older one, but also an excellent, and fun film.

D) Munich: Very good film.

E) Zodiac: Also quite good.

F) Jurassic Park (the first one) Eh! I saw it when it was way out of date, but it was okay.

Zodiac isn't a Spielberg film. It's a David Fincher film.

1. Schindler's List
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. E.T.
5. Jaws
6. Jurassic Park
7. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
8. Catch Me If You Can
9. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
10. Minority Report (I need to watch it again)
11. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

And i think you meant The Sugarland Express, The Polar Express is a Robert Zemeckis film,

Re: Rank the Steven Spielberg Films You've Seen
 

Schindler’s list 5 stars
Jaws 5 stars or 4.5 can’t decide

Jurassic Park 4.5 or 5 can’t decide lol
Savings private Ryan 4.5
Minority report 4.5 (this movie is brilliant not sure why I can’t give it a 5, maybe I should)
The last crusade 4.5
Raiders 4.5 (need to revisit)

Catch me if you can 4
War of the worlds 4 (very strong opening 10-20 mins)
Temple of doom 4

The lost world 3
The adventures of Tintin 3

Edit: Oh yea and crystal skull 2.5. Not a good film.

Need to see them both.

Leave poor WSSlover alone - hell, I was able to do it. :cool:

Re: Rank the Steven Spielberg Films You've Seen
 

The man's filmography is huge so ranking it would be a very time consuming task. I may give it a go when I got enough time on my hands since I've seen everything he's made so far aside from The Post (haven't gotten a chance to see it), Firelight (because as far as I know, no copies have survived -ironically enough due to a fire), Savage & Something Evil (because I can't track down any copies yet).

Everything:

He pretty much singlehandedly (well, with some help from George Lucas) ended New Hollywood and resurrected the blockbuster trend. If it weren't for that urchin, perhaps we would not have all this Marvel crap we see every year, and instead have some valuable American art on the list of highest-grossing films.

the Lumiere brothers gave us The Emoji Movie

That's a stretch whereas my argument, although
purposely provocative, is a fair one.
When the studio system in the US broke, filmmakers got the upper hand, and some formal experimentalism visited American mainstream (!!!) cinema. Hence the New Hollywood was born. Probably the freest epoch in American filmmaking. It's not to say films got noticeably better, but more freedom given to the filmmakers resulted in more grey (as opposed to black and white before) visions, and more personal visions. Of course Americans had auteurs before that, but they were often silenced by the studios, and their masterpieces shattered. But then came Spielberg and changed everything. He made Jaws. Quite a good film, mind you, and a grandiose commercial success, but also a film that started the entire summer blockbuster must-see box office hit idea. Spielberg did put some low-level pulp art in his films, but at the same time infantilised the viewer.
