Hollywood's most powerful, popular and conventional filmaker certainly has managed to push all the right buttons in his films. He may not be the most arty or audascious of filmakers, but he sure knows how to entertain with hardly a bomb in the lot.
I go with Schindler's List with Close Encounters a close 2nd. My favorite sci-fi film right behind 2001. |

I liked some of these as a kid... I think there happend same thing with these as I noticed with Star Trek. I watched them too much back then and got bored... Now i'm more interested in art movies, and I don't watch movies very often. I voted for "The Last Crusade", as I remember watching it in movies with my dad. |

Schindler's List and Empire of the Sun - IMO his recent films have not been up to the standard that we had come to expect of him. I think he peaked with Schindler's List. -------------

Schindler's List, by a country mile... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

| He has made some good entertaining movies but i still feel he is the most overrated director in the history of cinema. |

All his films look the same - I mean climax, dramatism etc. I think that Spilberg couldn`t now direct a film with a budget less than 100 000 000$ Indiana has it`s moments but nothing compares to the trully great master Quentin Tranatino  ------------- http://www.lastfm.pl/user/tomash33 - Last.fm |

These days I would agree that Steven is overated. But comparing him to Quentin is a bit difficult. They're almost a generation apart. Back in the 70s I would say he was nothing short of brilliant. In '75 he took a stupid farfetched pulp novel and made suspense masterpiece out of it. He even had a broken down fake looking mechanical shark to deal with. Still he managed to pull it off. The part when Roy Scheider is on the beach and Steven changes the camera angle whenever a beach comber passes by was pure genious. Plus all the other little tricks he puts in like the reflection on Scheider's glasses of the books he's flipping through, the shooting stars in the sky when they're out at sea.
His next film, Close Encounters just blew me away. This one came out the same year the first Star Wars installment came out and I thought this was the better of the 2. Star Wars was all fun and dandy, but this one was far more intelligent and thought-provoking. Plus he wrote this one as well as directed. Then in the 80s he starts going Disney with ET and the Indiana Jones flicks. Fun movies but pretty sappy. He's been pretty much off and on since then. |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is my favorite movie by him. I also love the other two Indy films. |
