Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when you think of all the movies he's made and you put them in a list, it's quite impressive.
Close Encounters
Indiana Jones
ET
The Colour Purple
Schindler's List
Jaws
Jurassic Park
Hook
A.I.
Saving Private Ryan
Minority Report
War of the Worlds
Munich
Catch Me If You Can
The Terminal
Empire of the Sun
He gets credit on plenty of movies because he gets the executive credit and thus his name is on it but he doesn't have much to do with them, like Transformers. I can't say I've ever seen a bad Spielberg film no two of them are the same. Plus the guy brought us Saving Private Ryan, created the Medal of Honour VG Series and The Pacific which I've not yet watched but can't wait.
I'm not saying he is most artistic director out there. But he's been making great movies for almost thirty years that usually do as well critically as they do in the box office. Even if he is not the greatest director he is without the greatest filmmaker of all time. Clint Eastwood is second imo.
Spielbergs best films have definitely been the last five to ten years. Many of his older movies are classic films but are more fun/family romps like Indiana Jones, E.T. and Hook.

I hate when I forget the deadline.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I believe that path, just like bears, doesn't think much about Spielberg, Brice.

So Path, do you not feel that people are voting for Spielberg based on Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Jaws.... Those are all really solid films in my opinion.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Like him or not Poltergeist was a great fun horror movie.
Um... folks, Steven didn't direct Poltergeist ( at least not officially, though he was a constant on the set ) ... it was directed by Toby Hooper. Just sayin'.
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
People may have, but Mattrick and Brice were also talking about other films. I think it's worth mentioning again that directing is a specific discipline.Exactly.
And in any case, to hear it said that "Spielberg is the greatest director of all time." simply blows my mind. No way.
Um...
Patience, grasshopper, patience
