Master of many genres,but with a special knack for sci fi.

ET or Jurassic Park. Tough call for me.

I'm still waiting for his Blackhawk movie.

Jurassic Park holds up the best.

Oddly enough, I've only seen three of those. Of those, I'd go with Jurassic park.

Close Encounters is my pick. I don't consider ET "scifi", but rather a fantasy movie about a creature with magical powers. You could replace the alien with a magical gnome, and the story is the same. AI is pretty hard scifi, but it suffers from not being a very good movie. Minority Report gets downright goofy with the eyes and the plants and the spiders. War of the Worlds is more like a family-focused disaster movie (except for the scene in Tim Robbins' basement).

I would have voted for Jurassic Park, but once you know they can't extract ANY DNA from amber, the bloom goes off that rose.

The less said about Crystal Skull, the better.

Fan of his Kubrick movie A.I.

A.I. Genius.

Minority Report, with Jurassic Park very close behind.

A Kubrick movie with a Speilberg ending. I still wake up screaming over this.

I just revel in the Kubrickisms in the movie and just don't think about Speilberg.

Those are the only two I've even seen.



I missed the boat on Spielberg.

To be honest, I don't see many Kubrickisms in A.I. Spielberg's use of the camera is diametrically different than Kubrick, so anything vaguely Kubrickian (like driving into Rouge City) is wiped out by the lifting camera and John Williams swelling score. Character-wise, Gigolo Joe is the only one I think retains any Kubrick feel to them.

I've only seen three of them too. Looks like several of us here "missed the boat on Spielberg."

If anymore show up, you're gonna need a bigger boat.

I've seen all except AI. Had the end spoiled for me and didn't care for what I was told at all, so I stayed away. I don't even remember anymore what it was about, or what that spoiler was.

The big reveal was that A.I. stood for some Cockney guy giving a Nazi salute and screaming 'Ail 'Itler!

Jurassic Park then ET. Will Eisner used to use the part where the adults are chasing ET in the dark forest as a great example of storytelling.

I picked JP. It's not a very good movie, but the T-Rex and raptors are awesome.

Wow, those are some weak choices. Does not speak well of Spielberg's sci-fi.

I think E.T. is the most successful film of the lot, a great idea and perfectly executed. So that's my pick. But I'd rather watch some of the others again before I'd revisit E.T.
