Ralph Fiennes losing to Tommy Lee Jones for the fugative is generally considered to be one of the greatest Oscar screw ups off all time. Neeson could well have got a statue and Knigsley was magnificent as well.
Empire of the Sun.
Excellent film.
Haven't seen all of them, but hope to see War Horse soon.
Hook stands out as the only crap film.
Close Encounters is a simply brilliant piece of film-making and deserves more votes here. It's funny, poignant, thrilling and mildly scary in places - well slightly sinister anyway. IMHO he's never equalled it since sadly: the cheap emotion rather took over after that.
Any director who can make the scene with the air traffic controller as gripping as it is, when it's basically a bloke and a computer screen, knew what he's doing. I wish he'd kept his 70s edge.
Think if Munich had been included it may have picked up some votes. That bit where they kill the naked woman on the barge with a bicycle pump is perfect Speilberg. Just before she collapses dead she manages one last stroke of her pussy!- a touching moment indeed.
For me
1. Schindler's List
2. ET -The Extraterrestrial
