Favourite Steven Spielberg Film

[Uncle Spielberg]

MOH has had the temerity to have a self indulgant thread about Mr Kubrick so hell here is my self indulgent thread about the master.

Which is your favourite film / greatest film of his ?.

 

[O Lads]

Got to be ET

 

[aftershavedave]

which is the shortest?

 

[dougdeep]

He was good in Blues Brothers.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Wheres the option for none?

 

[B.M.F]

Asking for one from such a good set of movies is very difficult. Have gone for Schindlers but could have picked all but about 3 of his movies in that list.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

For me

1. Schindler's List - greatest film ever made
2. ET - my favourite watch again film of all time
3. Close Encounters - stunning

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Close encounters,1st time.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I saw Close Encounters in 1977 at the age of 15 and Spielberg had me hooked. That film totally blew me away. I saw it 7 times at the cinema.

 

[elwheelio]

for me he'll never be a great director until he works with Steve Gutenberg. Police Academy 23 anyone??

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Empire of the Sun is my favourite of all of them, but there are still some others that are awesome too. However both Munich and War of the Worlds are wank.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

War of the worlds - excellent 7.9
Munich - excellent 8.0

Why and in what way was Munich wank

 

[Wardy]

Close Encounters for me.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

War of the worlds - excellent 7.9
Munich - excellent 8.0

Why and in what way was Munich wank

It was wank, overly long, but still didn't tell the true story, just the story that Spielberg wanted to tell. Even though it was nearly 3 hours they still managed to make the ending seem sudden and leave a lot of the story untold.

 

[London Irish]

Hook has surely got to be up their with the most teeth-grinding waste-of-money indulgences in cinema history

 

[Kenhead]

ET for me, had it on video when i was quite young and would always watch it, one of the first films i remeber seeing

 

[GNF on Tour]

Wheres the option for none?

Seconded.

He is the most over-rated film director of all time and someone might point in in the direction of a few history books before he makes his next "epic " historically based film.

 

[Withnail]

All of his films are of a consistant standard so impossible to choose.

 

[Northstander]

Jaws

 

[Rangdo]

for me he'll never be a great director until he works with Steve Gutenberg. Police Academy 23 anyone??

He'll never be a great director because he didn't make Soccer Dog. The greatest film of all time.
