Which of the following films directed by Steven Spielberg are your favorites?

'Schindler's List' and 'Empire of the Sun'.

I liked Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. Is The Color Purple that one with Oprah? I haven't seen that.

I hated E.T.

Why?

I don't really like that guy's movies

Carole Ann! Carole Ann!

Saving Private Ryan, Amistad and Schindler's list.

Sometimes I feel like a pariah because I actually liked 1941.

I don't like most science fiction. It's too unbelievable.

Raiders, Jurrassic Park. Schindler's was quality, but not a favorite.

Just about everything in Sci-Fi is on the par with, if not behind existing technology. Genetics making food from fossil fuels (few food products are exempt these days), virulent matter transfiguring nano-technology, matter penetrating aurora beams (star-wars invented by tesla nearly a century ago). JPL even has space probes simulating cosmic ray bursts to study time travel. Name a topic, I'll show you a research website showing the state of the art, but it usually requires a degree in physics to read the stuff.

What?
I haven't got a degree in physics.
But my teacher says that all sci-fi may be proven to be correct someday.

I loved all the Indiana Jones movies, and Young Indiana Jones Series. I watched the Last Crusade with
my dad. I was studying Anthropology at the time, It was a really fantastic experience.

Indiana Jones Meets Eris And The Golden Apple Pie

That's the whole point, though - science fiction has to be based on existing technology (or a reasonable extrapolation of existing technology), otherwise it isn't science fiction, it's fantasy. The big difference between sci-fi and existing technology is usually scale - things that we can only do in the lab are used as the basis for full-scale production systems in most sci-fi scenarios.

Are you trying to tell me E.T. was not real??

I'm sorry. I suppose you had to find out sometime.
Now, how do you feel about the Easter Bunny?

I've only seen five of these: "The Color Purple", "E.T.", "Poltergeist", "Raiders", and "Close Encounters". The only one I really liked that much was "Poltergeist".

"They're here!"
"Who's here, honey?"
"The television people!"

Oh no, don't do this to me.. Next thing you'll tell me is that Santa Claus also doesn't exist.

No comment.

his movies are always good and i like him as a writer

Santa Claus is real...believe me.

I really enjoyed ET as many of you did. I liked it better than my kids.

Don't tell your kids...it might hurt their feelings.

I find it very tough to choose because on one hand, Schindler's List was one of my favorite films of it's kind, but on the other hand, Hook is one of my favorites of IT'S kind... so...I can't choose.

that's tough. All I like for different reasons. i love horror films, so sci fi is second to that. But ET? That was a favorite of mine when I was younger.

I met him one night in the Hamptons hes a pretty cool guy and I think all this movies are good

I know it's a TV production, but Duel is one of his best.

Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, Schindler's list, and Poltergeist are my favorites from this list.

I'm surprised by the small number of votes for "Schindler's List" which I believe is easily Spielberg's best film. I wonder whether people didn't like it that much, or didn't see it because of the subject matter?

My guess would be that nearly everyone who has seen "Schindler's List" would include it in their favourites, but that many people who have seen other films by Spielberg won't have watched it because it's so different from his other stuff.

The question asks which is your favorite, though, not which is his best film. And while "Schindler's List" is undoubtedly an excellent film, I would think that its subject matter and intensity would make it less likely to be a "favorite," even if people did like it.

And then there's the fact that a lot of people regard it as a heavy handed poorly done melodrama instead of the moving piece of cinema it could have been.

Whereas Raiders was exactly the heavy-handed melodrama it was intended to be, and therefore a more successful film.

This is such a fantastic survey ... pure genius ... pure ....... I I I I can't think of .... oh yeah "Je ne sais quoi"
Push Push you gotta Push

you reckon?

What, praytell, does Je ne sais quoi mean? I never did figure it out.

Je=I
Ne Sait= Dont know
quoi=What
so pretty much it doesnt mean anything but sounds good..

Jaws, my fav film of all time
