I'm glad to see the Munich love in this thread. It's so slept on, I love those kind of history based espionage flicks. There were like 4-5 that came out around that time and I think it got lost in the shuffle.
What is Steven Spielberg best film?

It took them 6 weeks to film that beach scene. That sniper scene was

No one wants to watch schindlers list because it is emotionally draining it has nothing to do with whether it's a good movie
Good point as I only watched it when I showed it to my high school students during class...every time I try to watch it now, I can't as it is emotionally draining; but I have that same issue with 12 Years a Slave and a few others as well...
But the first 4-5 times I watched Schindler's List, it became a no-brainer for me that it is the greatest movie of all time.
So, I'm watching Hook right now. If this film was shot darker, it'd be deemed a classic. It has too many great scenes that resonates with all ages.
I think that one of the most underrated scenes in the movie is early on when they first go to Wendy's. Jack is telling Wendy what Peter does for a living and she looks and says "You've become a pirate." Just the subtleties of that scene, with her acknowledging how he's become the very thing that he condemned as a youth. Now since becoming an adult, did he lose himself, or was that what he was and only tried to mask it as a youth?

I voted raiders but I say Temple of Doom, its neck and neck with big trouble in little china in my book for greatest action adventure flick of the 80s
Well after re watching a lot of his films. I think his best film has to be Duel. Or close to it. im not a fan of that genre so to speak, but that movie alone has definitely opened my mind to watch movies of that genre.
I just watched the Fabelmans.
It was pretty good. I think the 3rd act/ California portion of the movie is prime Spielberg.
If you are a super movie buff the ending is fantastic.
I don't think this is Spielberg's best movie, but if he decides to hang it up this is a good movie to cap off his career
