My three greatest Spielberg movies
Post date: May 08, 2019 5:1:0 PM
I love discussing film with my friends. Whenever I’m asked about who I think is the best director ever, I always tell them it’s Steven Spielberg. The man is just brilliant at the craft and has never made a bad movie. On that note, here’s my list, otherwise known as the “Joe Cianciotto’s Three Greatest Spielberg Movies”. Schindler’s List (1993) While I’m partial to Spielberg’s more wholesome hits, I have to admit that “Schindler’s List” is his masterpiece. He has never so masterfully created a film at this level with this much gravitas. In fact, “Schindler’s List” more than earns its place as one of the greatest films of all-time.
Jurassic Park (1993) Before “Jurassic Park” came out, movie monsters were crudely made or moved via stop-motion animation. Spielberg changed everything with one of the most visually revolutionary action-adventure titles of all-time. Jaws (1978) A Joe Cianciotto all-time fave and the granddaddy of all summer blockbuster films, “Jaws” was a hit, and remains so to this day. The fact that it was a horror movie makes it all the more mind-boggling. This is Spielberg’s first blockbuster, and the first time he showcased his filmmaking genius. So many other directors have tried to emulate his work, to very little success.
