Steven Spielberg Poll - 00s & 10s. Pick 5 films!

Pick your 5 favourite movies from Spielberg’s last 2 decades as a director

 

I've only watched two.

Bridge of Spies
Minority Report

Love them both, watched them multiple times. Bridge of Spies is the best le Carre not written by le Carre. If only this team had made the "Tinker, Tailor.." movie.

 

' War of the Worlds ' was awful but not as awful as ' AI'

 

I have seen every movie on this list before Indiana Jones and the Atomic Refrigerator and only one after. I'm not sure if that is a coincidence.

 

Only three I like on this list:

Indy
Minority Report
The Post

Caveat: I haven't seen Bridge Of Spies which is supposed to be a good 'un.

 

Out of that whole list, there’s only two I truly truly enjoyed, the rest all have fatal flaws

Catch Me if You Can
Bridge of Spies

 

Ready Player One
Minority Report
Catch Me
A.I.
War of the Worlds

 

A.I.
Minority report
Catch me if you can
Munich
Tintin

 

Minority
WotW
Indy
Post
Tintin

Not a great film in the bunch, honestly...

 

Munich IMO is his best film post-Jurassic Park and Schindler's.

Incredible film.

Catch Me If You Can is fantastic fun and though I can't say War of the Worlds is a great film, like Ready Player One, there are scenes in their respective films that are just mind-blowingly good and I'll revisit just those scenes.

 

Excellent film - but there's one scene you MUST see at the very least - its mid-film I believe and it starts with a very high-flying airplane. A scene I revisit often!

 

Has any of these movie provided a better meme than Bridge of Spies?

 

Minority Report
Catch Me If You Can
The Terminal
Munich

 

War of The Worlds and Lincoln. I honestly couldn’t choose any other movies.

 

This was a lot tougher than the last one, In the end I went with The Terminal over Minority Report because I have a tendency to go back to that one more often. The Post has become one of my Favourite Spielberg movies of all time actually, it is so masterfully made and there is something about a good journalism movie that I really enjoy. Bridge of Spies is one of those rare movies where John Williams wasn't responsible for the score but Thomas Newman really knocked it out of the park on that film.
I think The BFG might be the weakest one on the list but it may actually be a little bit better than Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull, I also find the BFG to be quite notable because Steven Spielberg who is supposed to be a film hold out shot the entire film digitally with the Arri Alexa and no one noticed or even cared.

The Post
Bridge of Spies
Lincoln
Munich
The Terminal

 

Last two decades?.........that blocks me out!

 

You should of put up all the movies he's directed. Several of the films I'd like to vote for are not on your abbreviated list.

 

I believe that’s every movie he directed in the last 2 decades...what did I miss?

 

His career goes far back and you should of done all the movies he directed. Two of my favorites are 1941 and Amistad. Most of my favorites are over 20 at this point. Then there's Shindler's List, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and Close Encounters.... most of the films I want to vote for are in the previous 20 + years. Lincoln and A.I. are the only ones I really, really like in the past 20 years.

 

I should of also said I like Catch Me If You can too.... I remember when the real forger was in the new when I was a kid back in the 60's.

 

Minority Report is his best film imo

 

There is another poll for the first three decades.

Steven Spielberg Poll - 70s, 80s, 90s. Pick 5 films!

 

I missed it. I'm not ever-present.

 

I've only seen about half of these, and there's just 3 on the list I really enjoyed.

Catch Me If You Can
Bridge of Spies
The Terminal

 

'WotW' loses it in the final 20-something minutes, but I'd argue the first hour is genuinely thrilling. And Tom Cruise (final 20 minutes excepted) does nothing at all heroic throughout the course of the film, contrary to those who dismiss the picture as another action-hero yarn. I've always wondered what film they thought they saw when watching it...
