Top 5:
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - by far. Great story, cool characters, fun action, melting faces...
2. Schindler's List (1993) - This is a well made film. Editing, story, direction, acting, pace, cinematography... It's an important story to be told. And, heck, it even has a couple of jokes in it...
3. Jaws (1975) - One of the best horror films out there. Suspense, action, laughs and some of the best 70's hair ever caught on film.
4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) - I've always liked this one. For the sci-fi stuff as well as showing a really cool but messed up family in action. One of his best because one of his characters was named Brad. Barry needed a leash, though...
5. Minority Report (2002) - I thought I was going to hate this one after seeing AI and because Tom Cruise was in it. But it ended up being a well thought out film with cool effects. The eye scene should be watched at dinnertime.
And, for fun, the bottom 5:
Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) - Snoreville. An android and his talking bear friend. WTF?
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) - Damn. This movie is a jurassic turd. Hmmm. I made the first one and it had one TRex... I know, the sequel should have two Trexes.... and a baby TRex.... Ugh. Nice visual effects but it lacked everything else. Hated the first one, too. It stays off of the worst list because of its ground-breaking effects.
Hook (1991) - Not even Maggie Smith could save this one. I found it a lame vehicle for Robin Williams and terrible casting for Tink. And what poor PA had to shave Williams for this one? Oy.
Always (1989) - Not even Audrey Hepburn could keep this one in the air. Boring! It was too long, too. It should have been called Forever.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - Overly gross, overly glossy and overgrown with lameness. It gets one star for the cool spike room scene. The future Mrs. Spielberg was stinky in this one.
1941 (1979) - One of his unfunny comedies. Boring and stupid.
