I'd have a hard time ranking Lincoln. Film was so god damn boring. Yet, I bet they nailed the historical accuracy and authenticity of how boring all that stuff was. Therefore, I'm conflicted

Lincoln and minority report should be 20 or lower
Move crusade up and private Ryan. Ryan should be top 5-7
Hard to top Raiders

That's absolutely terrible.
Just terrible.
Saving Private Ryan at 17? WHAT THE frick?
And Crystal Skull should be dead last, period.

AI #5 and Hook dead last?
Yeah - those 2 - in particular make the list, essentially worthless. AI almost certainly should go in the 29th spot (or with KOTC - those are #28 and #29).
I don't have a problem with some of the other highly ranked, although I would have SPR much, much higher and Temple of Doom lower.

AI at 5 is probably the most laughable.

Munich & SPR too low
A.I. & Catch me if you can way too high
Adventures of tintin, haven't seen it.
Top 4 look pretty good.

Hook at 10 feels a little high, but outside of Color Purple, I can't really justify moving any movies below it above it.
Posted on 9/22/15 at 8:57 am to RollTide1987
Also, can we all agree that Raiders of the Lost Ark is arguably the perfect movie? Great performances, compelling villains, romance, adventure, iconic scenes, one of the best film scores of all time.

Yeah - I had the same analysis - obviously I started the list with #28 and #29 - I moved Hook up above every movie I thought was below it.
For that matter, I have Munich at 20 (down 1 spot) - and I should probably work 11 through 20 more to do something with it - but for all practical purposes, my 11 through 20 are all about the same to me, qualitatively.
FTR, I think Spielberg is an excellent filmmaker, just not the be all, end all. He just has a little something for almost everybody - he has a handful of serious films, dramas, action, kids - he's really missing a true horror, animated and a truly great comedy - but other than that, you could do worse than having the Spielberg filmography on a desert island (other than AI and KOTC - just awful).

Temple of Doom above the Last Crusade, and Empire of the Sun? You've got to be kidding me.
Posted on 9/22/15 at 9:23 am to RollTide1987
Temple of Doom rated ahead of Last Crusade?
Posted on 9/22/15 at 9:41 am to RollTide1987
I'm glad Yahoo! shares my dislike of Saving Private Ryan. The movement grows stronger. Baby steps.
But the answer for worst Spielberg is clearly 1941.

I agree with most of this. Only changes I'd make would be moving Catch Me If You Can into the underrated category and Saving Private Ryan into Unimpeachable category.
