It's a short list:
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Probably one of my favorite Spielberg films, even more so than Raiders of the Lost Ark. It just felt so refreshing for a '70s aliens invasion movie even when I was watching it for the first time in the 2010s. It didn't go for the easy hostile alien approach nor the saccharine E.T. one, but somewhere in between full of wonder and intrigue.
