I would add Duel to the list.

also while not considered a classic he pretty much ghost directed Poltergeist which i think is a classic. I love that movie.

i saw jaws a few months ago. it was well made. but for me a lot of the hailed flicks of the 1970s are somewhat boring. i know that may sound ignorant but many of them dragged on. Movie was a bit too long for the type of film it was imo. (2 hrs 10 min)

and i can see why people may not love hook, its really cheesy. but i was young when it came out and nostalgia is a hell of a drug. movie still makes me laugh

but how can you not love minority report!?
Idk why minority report bothered me. In fact in reference to your jaws critique, MR was way too long. Wasn't feeling the plot and just thought the movie drug on.

Jaws is a long flick but there still hasn't been a monster flick that's touched it not even JP with all its CGI. Jaws is a masterpiece especially all the shyt they went through, Spielberg almost being fired, Richard Dreyfus trashing the movie saying it would be terrible etc...actually I think jaws is the one movie that should never be shytted on. Classic music death scenes and climax.

And I saw hook when I was young too but always hated it lol

i didnt shyt on jaws. but i feel ya .

what's cool about Minority report to me is that its one of the only films that predicted technology correctly. came out in 02 and dude was swiping, and tablets etc. inspired a lot of current tech

I agree on all except The Color Purple, which can be argued belongs in there, but personally I rank it more alongside Empire Of The Sun, Amistad, Minority Report, Munich and Catch Me If You Can category (all of which I also wouldn't mind if people called them classic).

minority report is one of the best sci-fi flicks out there, imo. Can't see how it isn't a classic.
