What is Steven Spielberg's best movie?
- Thread starter Bor Gullet

Same here. Probably one of my top 10 favourite films now.
But while E.T. is my favourite, I'd have to say that Schindler's List is his best IMO.
Voted for Munich but his oeuvre is incredible and he is probably the most important living director in terms of his impact on modern cinema.
Jurassic Park is great fun, but come on. Better than Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Y'all are crazy.
For me, Close Encounters.
I saw it for the first time in the mid 90's and was totally blown away by it.

I voted for Jurassic Park even though it's not my favorite of his catalog. That movie would have been a failure in so many other creators' hands and it's easily one of the best adventure films ever. Astonishing work especially for the time.
Spielberg hasn't really fallen off much from a directorial POV. There are some incredible sequences in RPO and Tintin. He's still a master director. Society has just moved on.

I really wanted to vote Jurassic Park since it's one of my most watched movies of all time, but ended up picking Jaws.
He has half a dozen movies where it's a damn toss up. Just depends on my mood. His filmography is the GOAT. No other director can switch from adventure to drama to scifi and other genre mixes like he can.
Then when you factor in movies/ TV series that he produced, it's just unreal.

What do you mean Society has moved on? Are you saying they don't make much bank box office wise or are you saying his recognition has dwindled?
Next yr his take on West Side Story comes out....can't wait
i wouldn't know what to pick though interestingly enough, that list reminded me how much of his serious live action movies I stayed away from or outright did not like, as great as they may be as films. I think his best films are either Jaws or JP
His least favorite film of his, Hook, is my personal favorite after JP :(
A Don Bluth film

You can't pick Catch Me If You Can over stuff like Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List...but damn if I don't want to. Maybe because I caught it on TV most recently, I'm sure if I'd seen any of those more recently I'd say the same thing. One of the most charming movies of all time.
watch Raiders back to back with any Indy... the quality dropoff is stunning (and i say that as somebody who loves the other movies, i'll even go to bat for the first half of Crystal Skull)
Raiders, Jaws, then Jurassic Park.
Also Catch Me If You Can is a near perfect movie. I'm not picking that, but I am mentioning it.

really really surprised Schindlers List is at #1.
To me it is JAWS and then ET and Raiders. Saving Private Ryan and a slew of others are right behind those IMO.

Apparently he ghost-directed that. Certainly feels that way watching it.
Jaws is my all time favorite movie. One of, if not the only movie I loved as a kid, that I still love. Jurassic Park is right up my alley too and probably my second favorite of his. I think I watched it too much though as a kid, as I don't find it nearly as rewatchable as Jaws now a days.
