It occurs to me now I should have done a full ranking when I did my Spielberg blog project, but looking back, my Top Ten would probably look something like:
Jaws
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Schindler's List
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Jurassic Park
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
The Adventures of Tintin
Saving Private Ryan
Duel
Munich
The top two are rock solid. The others might change based on the day.

I really like most Spielberg films, but ET was too cutesy for me even at 13. And I may loathe Short Round more than Jar Jar Binks.

I haven't seen a ton of Speilberg, I guess- Never saw Jaws or Saving Private Ryan. I think Jaws would be to scary for me, because I found ET terrifying. I mostly remember all the white tents and people in hazmat suits.

My favorite is Jurassic Park and Schindler's List. Jurassic Park I loved the book as well. Schindler's List I really loved the exploration of Schindler and Amon Goetz and being very similar personality types (kind of indulgent players) and how can one become monster and one become a hero. I didn't like the girl in the red coat because that felt very on the nose to me-- Like something I would do, and it also reminded me of a very popular line of greeting cards in the '90s that we all colorized black and white pictures of children dressed up like retro looking adults.

ET pissed me off. I saw it in the theater, and it was the first time I really noticed a movie pulling my emotional strings. I came out of the theater feeling manipulated. I know that most movies are crafted to elicit an emotional response, but I felt like ET was especially blatant.

Raiders, on the other hand, was a delight.

I love you people. I got such shit on my blog for hating on E.T. (though I liked it more on rewatch than I did originally). But it bugs the shit out of me that it is the one Spielberg on the Sight & Sound 250.

I haven't seen a ton of Speilberg, I guess- Never saw Jaws or Saving Private Ryan. I think Jaws would be to scary for me, because I found ET terrifying. I mostly remember all the white tents and people in hazmat suits.

I think Jaws would probably be too scary, but I'm a bad judge since I saw it by sneaking into a campus showing (I was 9 or so) and was pretty much terrified ever after when swimming in the summer. In a lake.

Saving Private Ryan would probably be much higher on my list if it didn't have those god-awful sentimental bookends. It's nearly perfect otherwise. Great ensemble. The D-Day beach sequence is incredible but hard to watch for many I'm sure.

Saw Jaws release day in the theater, with another couple. Becky and I sat there frozen in horror while the guys were at the concession stand "before much happened" at the first of the movie. They walked back down the aisle loaded with popcorn, drinks, and candy and eased into their seats, and couldn't help picking up on the utter silence and raw edge of disbelief in air.

"What happened?" they wanted to know. Like, in twenty words or less? Nah. Your loss. Catch up. And don't let go my hand.

MY PEOPLE! MY ET-HATING PEOPLE!

I walked out, I was so pissed off. At seven or eight. (Depending on when I got dragged to see it. And dragged back in to finish seeing it. Apparently, one's sister and grandmother don't take kindly to their single-digit charge walking out of the film.)

I feel so vindicated. I thought I was the only one who hated that movie.

I'm another one who didn't like ET. I think it was partially due to the blatant emotional manipulation and partially due to the fact that I went in with my expectations jacked sky-high for 'the best movie EVAR!!!1!'
