In honor of the new Lincoln film by Steven Speilberg, Vulture.com asked to send it your Speilberg ranking.
My list was:
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Catch Me If You Can
The Terminal
The first two set the standard that seems to be copied regularly. The latter two were great character studies that really took you into their world.
Of course there are many other fine movies that the staggering box office number would suggest that are great in their own way. Hard to think of a movie he's done that's not been very successful. Like his cohort George Lucas, he has a way of finding a broad common denominator that is appealing to many people. That's a real gift.
Here's Vulture's full list. What yours?
