Top Five V: The Films of Steven Spielberg
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
2. Jaws (1975)
3. Empire of the Sun (1987)
4. Jurassic Park (1993)
5. Munich (2005)
Unseen: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), Amistad (1997), Always (1989), The Color Purple (1985), 1941 (1979), The Sugarland Express (1974)
N/A: Shorts, TV Films (Unseen: Duel (1971)), Anthology Films
Honourable Mentions:
*If this was an Essential Spielberg list and not my personal top five, these "important" films about WWII would have a spot.
Update 25/05/08: I have since seen 1941 (1979). Having seen it, I can say that the entire film is shot with a sickly, gauzy softness that tries to purpose itself as cinematic shorthand for nostalgia.
