E.T. -LOVED it.
A.I. - LIKED it a lot (I'm a software engineer, with a long-time interest on AI algorithms. The movie was very much in the "very likely how it will be" category.)
The thing about Spielberg is that his movies were so amazing to me at the time. Truly phenomenal feelings leaving the theater (which is the only metric that matters):
TRULY epic feeling on the way to the car:
Jaws (Yes, I saw it when it came out as a kid, and many times since. Holy Moley what a movie).
Cretaceous Park (sic.): "Wow, just wow. NO ONE had EVER seen a dinosaur before that actually looked real. Keep that in mind."
Lincoln
Indiana Jones TOD
Always
Those movies always stuck with me. I think "kids today" don't have the stake in the sand by which to measure things properly. There's literally no context for them to weigh anything.
