If you only had to pick one?
For me, it’s without a doubt E.T. Unlike Close Encounters, the family drama of E.T. feels more grounded and relatable. I also love the fact that Spielberg paced and edited the film to John William’s score, which gives E.T. a real sense of urgency to what’s happening on screen.
Sure the ending is manipulative and sentimental, but the performances are outstanding.

Saving Private Ryan.
I tend to skip war movies, so I didn’t see it for a long time after it came out. It’s just really, really, well done.
The one with the dinosaurs.
I’ve watched Hook far more than any of the others.
RIP Rufio
Poltergeist or Jurassic Park.
Saving Private Ryan though Empire of the Sun is right up there.
It’s restricted on my computer. I looked him up though. I was confused.
Jaws
@tinyfaery‘s choices are top on my list as well.
It bears mentioning that Minority Report is the only watchable Tom Cruise movie, and is actually really good.
^Disagree. Edge of Tomorrow, Born on the 4th of July, Tropic Thunder, Interview With A Vampire, A Few Good Men, Rain Man…
I could go on. I don’t like the man, but he’s a good actor in some great movies.
Duel of the Jurassic Jaws! ;-D
I’d love to see The Last Gun, which he made when he was 12.
I’ll also add Jerry Maguire, Collateral, War of the Worlds, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and American Made
I just can’t decide between Jaws, and Close Encounters.
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
Star Wars.
All I know is that if something is produced by Spielberg I’m going to like it.
I vote for Tom Cruise in Top Gun! I don’t like him as a person either.
As a director? “Empire of the Sun.”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_29 With that said, there are several of his films that have not yet been viewed.
Oh yeah. George Lucas did. But it seems like such a Spielbergy thing!
Probably Raiders of the Lost Arc, but I have a soft spot for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Duel
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler’s List
Raiders was witty and fun.
