The films of Steven Spielberg

[Barrel of Fun]

You didn't think The Goonies was an excellent film?

 

[Garage_Doors]

What films did he do ?
Is there a list ? or was it not that many ?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

A mixed bag. I felt Schindlers List was a little dark though

Did you try adjusting the brightness on your tv?

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

star wars is my personal favourite of his

 

[ROSM]

you have to wonder what Jaws would be like if it had been filmed now. I think it would have lost some of it's innocent fear and the self loathing at being scared by a giant rubber fish.

We would have had cgi sharks, people being decapitated and spewing blood rather than dribbling as they did with blood capsules. I doubt it would have been a big hit

How has US avoided this thread until now?!

He's banned. Hence, I suspect, the thread.

For what it's worth anyone that made Jaws and the Indiana Jones movies is alright by me.

Talk about self-restraint.

Head: Just leave it, it can only go wrong.

Heart: How DARE they say that about Raiders/AI/Schindlers etc

(leaving the ban aside...)

Sex, Lies and Video Tape was my favourite.

A great maker of films, rather than a maker of great films, I think. Primarily an entertainer, but one of the highest order. I find his films never less than enjoyable, but a bit like a Chinese meal, good at the time, but leave you feeling empty half an hour later.

I heard his mum's brother was a crap tipster

 

[Twinkle Toes]

My favourites are: Schindlers List; Saving Private Ryan & Munich. Brilliant filmaking, imho.

For that we just need to look to Deep Blue Sea then ratchet it up a notch or two, since a decade has passed.

Is that the one with Samuel L. Jackson in?

the dude that visited Withdean?

Yep. I was in my first year of Uni when I saw that. I already knew how to plan a land-lab based experiment to achieve the results they were looking for when they genetically modified giant super smart sharks. And the scientists in that mo0vie were supposed to be the smartest in their fields. Always made me laugh.

Still, really fun film.

 

[Wozza]

Yes, he's made some half-decent movies. The Terminal is f***ing rubbish, mind.

You clearly don't order enough. I feel like I'm going to burst half an hour after a Chinese.
