For me, the top three are easy:
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Schindler's List
3. Jaws
After that, there's a pretty steep drop off. The most striking thing I saw in his list of films is how many of his films (for me, all but the above three) are disappointments to one degree or another. So, given that I would go with:
4. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
And there is another drop-off. More as a default than anything, I have:
5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
It was decent, and reasonably enjoyable. Though, in interest of full disclosure, I will say that I have never actually seen Close Encounters all the way through. Nor Empire of the Sun at all.
For me the worst of his films is definitely War of the Worlds. Though I disliked Saving Private Ryan pretty strongly as well.
