End of the Movie Poltergeist

- This is the ending and credits of the movie Poltergeist by Steven Spielberg. I particularly like this rare but familiar view of the old Holiday Inn sign, which I've seen many times on family vacation.
I can never watch the ending without crying. Seeing Dominique dunne as Dana walk into the motel room and knowing that just 5 months later she'd be murdered.
IRL?
@@j.fhernandez3457 yes
It's also horrible that her boyfriend/killer got released
You know what I never knew she was murdered after I seen the second poltergeist movie until many years later around the time heather O'Rourke passed away in 1988. RIP Heather and Dominique.
Dominique is very beautiful she's very sweet 😍 I'm in love with her ❤ 💝
This scene is so emotional. They feel like hopeless and tired. I love this movie.

@UCaUPAxi9ZtOle43Vs4bR99g You ain't gonna do shit, bum bitch.😂😂😂💩
@@Nightcrimer I like you
@@sorathonthiebsronshai5844 Your weird as hell!💩
That poor family. The pushing the television out of the Motel at the end was comical.
Same happened to me when I watched poltergiest when I was a kid my mother had to push the tv out of my room in the middle of the night
The funny thing is that when I saw the TV pushed out, I actually got scared because I thought it was gonna turn into static and there was gonna be a jump scare
What they all need is a good night's sleep and no TV.
Who needs TV when you need peace and quiet at all times?
And they have a dog too along with them.
Craig T. Nelson was mad as hell when he slammed that door. 😂
I remember Craig. He used to play the bad guy opposite Carl Weathers in *Action Jackson* if I may recall. It's like *Robocop* in which it's set in Detroit and focuses on police and corporate greed.
The people next door file a noise complaint for slamming the door and wheeling the 📺 way too hard to the wall for being to mad.
Id be too if my house tried to kill me and my kids
@@scoobycarr5558 I remember Craig T Nelson telling that man of God in Poltergeist II that he was not his friend. So I guess Craig was the bad guy in that movie as well.
You mean the character Steven Freeling.
I remember breaking down in tears right after watching this at 10 years old. One of those movies that always sticks with you
i was 10 when i first seen poltergeists as well, good original movie!!!
I've been to Semi Valley, Ca where the original was filmed
Michael Bauer this scene was filmed in Ontario ca near the airport I believe
Poltergeist II...not so much.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 watching it the first time is kinda good but not that good as this
I feel like in a darker universe, the last scene of Poltergeist could be the last scene of Incredibles 2.
The Parrs trudging back to the motel ... again ... after their house has been destroyed ... again ... filing in to their room slowly, and then Bob wheeling the tv screen out onto the deck.
The fact that Craig is the father in both is just the icing on the cake.
In a universe where the script wasn't undercooked.
The look on Steven's face before he walks inside as if he's saying to himself "What happens now? Where do we go from here?" Then comes back out to put the TV outside and then walks back in and slams the door. By the end of the movie you see the frustration and exhaustion in him. Though they make it out alive, they are tired and homeless. Poltergeist II had the more happier ending with the Freelings chasing down Taylor to get their car back.
Actually, Poltergeist had the happier ending as it sold many more tickets after opening weekend than Poltergeist II. In fact, Poltergeist's post-opening weekend ticket sales outsold the two sequels and the remake combined, and by a huge margin too.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 I'm referring to the events in the movie itself, not ticket sales.
@@tyreezy87 I understand, but I'm talking about things more relevant. I mean, you're comparing Poltergeist with Poltergeist II. So am I.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 Good for you, bruh lol I'll try and post more "relevant" comments in the future just like you.
@@tyreezy87 Good for you. That's what our society needs. More relevant discussions and information. This is 2020. No time for irrelevant opinions and such. We've got too many problems going on for such nonsense.
That's definitely 1982. Now, the television would be on the wall.
😂😂😂
It's interesting to note that Spielberg became Hollywood's most successful director in 1981, which was when this movie was made. It's also interesting that Spielberg used to work in television during the late 60's and the early 70's. I guess Hollywood's new king had some inside knowledge about television when he helped create Poltergeist.
One of the best horror movies ever made. Poltergeist is sheer genius.
Talk about sheer genius. Like how so many coincidences involving Hollywood's best (Spielberg's extraordinary success from 1975-1982), dreadful sequels in several movie franchises that point back to this scene through the Poltergeist-Psycho revelation, and over 30 unlikely movie similarities between 1982 and 1993 are all connected to this relevant scene. Not to mention that NASA was warned and history's dumbest test took place in 1986, the year of Poltergeist II and Psycho III. Also, the final hour of The Day After. Now we're talking sheer genius.
Who else was relieved when the dad pushed back the tv out?

@@rigelbellatrix8410 The teLIEvision is a weapon of mass destruction. It did have its benefits for its time but now it has dumbed us down
@@stever507 Television is definitely a weapon of mass lying, and to say that its effects of dumbing us down is a bit of an understatement. Television is making society a more evil society, even more so than a dumb society.
I always used to cry as kid at the end credits with the theme song. I don’t know why. To this day I still do
Because is a hell of a good theme from the one and only Jerry Goldsmith!!!
This is one of the most beautiful movies ever made.
You cut out before the scariest part. At the very end of the credits, the children's chorus is singing "La-la-la," and then they all break out into this unhinged, maniacal laughter. It's chilling.
VERY
Oh yeah, that sure is creepy!
Yeah. It really sends a chill down your spine.
Fun fact: The fans of this film assumed that creepy laughing children are those released from the beast and crossed over the threshold into the next life.
What makes it worse me and my sister assumed the clown was in there too because earlier on the movie he’s laughing on the bed and it’s somewhat deep, if you listen closely you will hear a misplaced laugh that sounds similiar

Spielberg's name really meant something back in 1982. Between Jaws, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and E.T., Spielberg landed four DGA nominations. Those four movies earned 14 Oscars and sold roughly 400 million tickets. To put that in perspective, the last 25 DGA nominated films have sold roughly 300 million tickets. Among those 25 DGA nominated films are the box office hits American Sniper, The Martian, The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, Dunkirk, and Get Out.
The 80s was definitely Spielberg's decade. The guy was on fire! When I was a kid, I always loved to see his name in the credits.
@@IronMan-tk8uc I posted a reply to your comment less than an hour ago and it's not showing up. Interesting.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 Well, if it was this one, I received alright.
@@IronMan-tk8uc I posted a comment about Spielberg's name in the 1980's. And how I discovered that he had made a turkey called 1941, which totally shocked me at the time. I didn't think it was possible that Spielberg could make turkeys or anything less than the best at the time. Seeing that he had made a turkey in the midst of his incredible run from 1975 thru 1982 didn't make sense at the time. But now it does.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 You can't score all the time. One time the ball has to drop. But overall from the 70s to the 90s, S. Spielberg absolutely ruled! Either as a director or producer. This man marked my childhood for good.
1:44 There's a hotel room numbered 217. As if that's not creepy enough, much earlier in the film when Carol Anne sits in front of the TV, the clock says 2:37am. 217 being the room number in Stephen King's novel "The Shining", and 237 being the room number in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of "The Shining". So we have references to both the book and the film in "Poltergeist".
The very last hotel room was 213....
Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment number
Also Room 215 has a meaning. Stephen Spielberg stayed in The Excelsior Hotel in Room 215 and his experiences in that room inspired him to make this movie.
@@scarletrose1767I actually just stayed in this very room over the past weekend (while attending the Jefferson Bigfoot conference - where I also met the very nice/lovely Dr. Mireya Mayor of Expedition Bigfoot 😍).
Unfortunately nothing happened, but a sweet older lady working at the front desk told me a great story about one night where the guests in room 214 heard a great deal of commotion coming from 215 (as if a domestic disturbance was occurring). They called the front desk - who then called the cell of one of the room 215 guests - who said they weren't in the room but were at a bar/restaurant a few blocks away.
As if that's not creepy enough, when the guests got back to room 215, the found their Ouija board somehow standing upright on its side! This scared the guests so much that they spent the night downstairs in the hotel lobby 😱 and they didn't go back to the room until the next day.
The whole family was traumatized by this whole event and the move into the Hoilday Inn Hotel there house was gone!
The part where the ghosts come back with a vengence scared me and seeing the sketons in the pool and they used real skeltons in this movie as they did in the second one and the girl who played Dana died Domink Dunne and so did the little girl who played Carol Anne Heather O Rouke, So many things were happening on the set of this flim they called it the poltergist curse.
It's true the Poltergeist movies are cursed for sure!
@@martymcfly5434 Other than Heather O'Rourke and Dominoque Dunne, the medicine man from Poltergeist II and Julian Beck who portrays the demon's human form also died after filming the second film. The director of Poltergeist II also died. So behind the scenes, the Poltergeist movies are cursed on set.
@@kyleluna1 Yes, I'm aware of this as well as someone dying on the set of the third film! Heather actually died during post production as the director wanted to re shoot the ending, so they had to use a body double and some editing to complete the movie as the original release date was 1987 but changed to 1988!
@@martymcfly5434according to imdb, the curse started with the skeletons in the pool
When filming the pool scene, a light fixture fell into the water and almost fatally electrocuted Steven Spielberg and JoBeth Williams.
the dog survives!
darthdj31 boomer will live!
how is that even possible lmao
0:55 You can't be too careful
Lmao when he slams the door after throwing out the TV. Craig T Nelson, I always thought it was Chevy Chase back in the day. They kind of resemble each other 😕 must be the 80's father clothing.
One of those scenes that you never forget.
There are quite a few people who wish they could forget this scene, as if it never happened.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 And a lot of people who've read your comment and thought: "Wow, I care about your opinion why?"
@@SStupendous My comment was less of an opinion and more of a fact.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 Quite a few people in the world are having diarrhea right now. Important fact ain't it?
@@SStupendous Well, at least you're admitting that your first comment was wrong in that what I wrote was fact, and not opinion. So you already admit to being wrong with your original comment. Also, you're mocking the importance of this final scene from Poltergeist, as if television is having no significant impact on our culture.
Also if I may add, there was once a Holiday Inn in Elgin with that famous flashing star sign. A while ago on the bus, I passed by the site of the Holiday Inn now the college owned by the Northwest Bible Baptist Church in Elgin.
I remember those old flashing Holiday Inn signs.
And it's a damn shame Holiday Inn doesn't have this famous sign with welcoming flashing star and colorful design anymore. All it is now just the motel title on a simple sign design. Back in the 1970s when we were on vacation in California and Indianola, IA during a hot air balloon fest, we stopped at Holiday Inn. Back then the famous chain was all the rage.
Or hotels and motels had actual keys 🔑 rather than cards 💳
@@scoobycarr5558 It was called The Great Sign, designed in 1952 by it's founder. It lasted up to the mid-late 1980's when it was replaced by a cheaper version of the sign which was again replaced with more cheaper generic signs. I went to a Holiday Inn twice when they had the Great Sign in the '70s and early '80s, you could see it as far as miles. Not the cases with what they got today. You have to get within hundreds of feet to see it.
Fun fact: From my memory of this movie, their house collapsed into a black hole before this scene happened.
Around 0:55 - 1:07
That would everyone tossing out the DVD to the remake of this movie.
The remake made less money than the 1982 film. Average ticket prices in 1982 were at $2.94, compared to $8.43 in 2015. The 1982 movie's post-opening weekend tickets sales (domestic) total came out to be about 23.7 million, compared to the 2.9 million for the 2015 remake. 23.7 million vs 2.9 million. The remake tried to erase history by changing how the story ends. The remake failed.

Tossing out a DVD is less effective than tossing out the TV. Tossing out a single DVD is lame and weak, and does nothing about sending a message to anyone. It influences no one. And I do mean no one. It just makes you look like a movie critic or something like that.
Also the year 2020.
Iya
I don't think the people that run the hotel would be to happy that
he kick the television out in the rain
If it were real it likely would have been bolted down anyway, not as easy to move as shown in entertainment.
I would've taken that television out after what happened that night.
People be like ooo free televisions
It's a motel, not a hotel. Like the Bates motel from Psycho. Also, I kicked my television out of my house in 2009.
@@rigelbellatrix8410 Back then Holiday Inns were more considered as motels, today all consider it as hotels.
This movie scared the daylights out of me as a youth.
Carol Anne's theme . Lovely. Love the neon too. Dominique Dunne :(
+TECHNOIR You mean the old Holiday Inn Great Sign. Those were the days of family travel with those signs when you can see it a mile away. You can't see today's signs unless you right up close to the hotel.
I was in a production of “Night Of The Living Dead” in 2017 and we watched this movie as a cast before the show started its run. I remember getting so excited seeing the Holiday Inn sign at the end, as I swear I’ve seen that sign as a kid.
this classic soundtrack captivated me as a kid till this day.
Poltergeist II was also scored by Goldsmith, but the soundtrack to that film wasn't as captivating.
This video left out the creepy laughter at the very end of the credits
This is so weird, I've had this memory in my head of a movie I had seen when I was very little, and it had red gooey stuff and I remembered something to do with a TV getting thrown out of a motel, and I never knew what that movie was until now. I was wondering what movie it was for so long, but I remember some parts differently in my head than they were in the movie, maybe it's just because I was very young. Strange....
Gabriel Smythurst like what?
like I remembered the movie with like ghosts but i think I got it mixed up with Ghostbusters idk, u view things from the past differently than they actually were
Mind merges things
The part where you're talking about goo, were you talking about the face peeling scene?
@@IdraClux He’s talking about the ectoplasm on everything that passes through the nether realm dimension, including Dianne and Carol-Anne after the rope rescue sequence.
I could've sworn the tv turns on with static as the scene fades away!!!! That was the part they sacred me the most when I was a kid. I can't believe I imagined it.
Me too😮😅
God damn, that song brings a tear to my eyes

"That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." --Neil Armstrong. 1969.
Neil Armstrong inadvertently nails it on ditching the television.
I propose a 39% federal income tax on anyone who has a television in their home. And a 39% federal tax on all movie tickets. A 39% federal tax on any advertiser who wishes to promote their product via television commercials. Talk about "a giant leap for mankind". Only then would America have any hope in conquering the monstrous national debt. Time and money would not be wasted on society being entertained and being led astray by news organizations with an anti-Christian worldview.
I remember watching this movie on Showtime when I was a kid.
If I were that dad and having been traumatized by poltergeist images on the TV, I would've done the deed too.
If Showtime had known what this scene really was, they would have banned this film from ever being televised on its channel.

George stevens that's what I'm saying. they ruin the whole ending
@@mylesharris3050 Looking at the post-opening weekend ticket sales, 1982's Poltergeist outsold both Poltergeist sequels and the remake put together with room to spare....64% of all post-opening weekend ticket sales for all four of the Poltergeist movies. The reason the new Poltergeist movie was made was because of the original's ending. They were trying to erase the ending by trying to deceive the latest generation into believing that the end of Poltergeist and ditching the TV are unrelated. 64%.
Yeah what the hell kind of ending was that in the remake? Why A pop song especially?
It is just me or I only realized this reference that got me laughing where I watched a clip from the Incredibles 2????
Did the 2nd hour of The Day After get you laughing? What clever movie has been able to mock the final hour of The Day After? Americans have a choice: the last scene of 1982's Poltergeist...or the last hour of The Day After.
Which clip was it?
Seriously how does this video segway into a bunch of 8 hour birds chirping streams and coolie made cartoon nursery rhymes in my recommended section?
Steven Spielberg sure had an interesting year in 1982. He created this movie and E.T., which was the biggest money-maker of its time. He had an interesting year in 1993 as well. Jurassic Park was the biggest money-maker of its time, and then he directed Schindler's List that same year.
Not only was ET a money-maker, but Poltergeist also broke $100,000,000 at the box-office as well.
And it spawned two sequels, whom he had no involvement with, and spawned a TV series on Showtime. It's odd that WB has the rights to this after buying Turner Entertainment Company and Turner Broadcasting in 1996, but MGM not only kept the rights to the two sequels, but the whole franchise as a whole.
Yes, Poltergeist was in the top ten at the domestic box office in 1982. Kind of like how Schindler's List was in the top ten at the domestic box office in 1993. E.T. and Poltergeist. Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.
1:00 that's enough 📺 for a while
Permanently
Because it's the poltergeist
0:58 Dude, your TV wasn't the problem with your house.
It started with a tv when Carol Anne went downstairs and started talking to someone through it possibly the Beast Kane
I too would have removed that television after what just happened!
The TV is actually the biggest problem with many houses these days.
Yeah but is not like that the beast was the one possessed the all 📺 take make it happen in the 🏠
Television...a root cause to so many of America's problems.
...but it's okay to ignore this scene. Because what can go wrong in America?
Watching T.V. and attempting a coup, not very clever ways for conservatives to be fighting the culture war.
anyone else have wondered why Carol Anne is the only blonde in the family?
I did. Unusual.
Can't believe they have to live hotel
Because the house got destroyed by the poltergeist
Ending always gets me seeing their faces how sad they lost everything and I know how that felt losing everything. With th music 🎵 is so emotional
For some reason this is the only scene i actually remember watching the movie as a kid
I know i watched the rest, but I don't have any memories of it
Best horror film ever, yes ever... Better than The Shining in my opinion but that's still a great horror
That motel is the Ontario Airport Inn, just west of Vineyard Ave. on G Street in Ontario, California. The Holiday Inn seen in the backdrop, actually at the intersection of Vineyard and G St. (or just say Vineyard Ave/I-10 Freeway), is now a Quality Inn, and there's a Denny's in place of the big Holiday Inn sign
.
The moment when the TV set is unceremoniously dumped outside gave everyone in the cinema the light moment they needed.
I like how this scene pays homage to Psycho. It's interesting that both this movie and Psycho have dreadful sequels in 1986 that attacked God...despite the fact that Psycho was released 22 years before this movie. I guess you can call it a revelation.

Thanks to Steven Spielberg who made the old Poltergeist film.
I have always wondered if poltergeist has some subtext about how too much tv is bad for you.
Some subtext? More like a direct order from God.
I just realized The Incredibles 2 parodied this.
What scene?
@@justinkiefer1988 The beginning where they rent a hotel.
+MrD 2001 No, they went to the Motel not a Hotel silly..watch Incredibles 2 again and see the sign that says Safari Court
@@alexisblake2634 I haven't seen The Incredibles 2, but the difference in hotels and motels is important with this scene. It's the Bates Motel from Psycho, not the Bates Hotel. That's important.
I remember the Incredibles movie with Craig T Nelson as Mr Incredible.
if you look closely ( after pausing) @ 0:33 you can see ( through the window) the rear of the TV set, Mr Freeling later pushes out the door, literally sitting to the left of the door with it's screen up against and facing the window, then the curtains close , when Mr Freeling opens the door a few moments after, it means he only had to roll the TV a couple of feet before shoving it outside,
i still remember the burst of laughter in the theater when he wheels that tv out.
I still like how Dominique Dunne looked as Dana. She looked pretty from her dinner date. But it was sad that she died months after its release. She was killed by her boyfriend on Halloween night 1982. She always be my first crush. Love her shoes.
That's a little wierd but guess I just noticed a small coincidence watching this ending with little Carol Anne being held in Diane's arms supposedly asleep and if u watch the ending of poltergeist 3 at the final end scene when they get Carol Anne back from the otherside and she comes back through the mirror with her uncle and foster cousin Donna and out from the light back to her aunt Patricia as we now see little Carol Anne being held in her Aunt Pat's arms with her head down supposedly asleep and almost identical to how she appeared in her mother Diane's arms asleep like a little baby ..I'm also guessing they did a reshoot for the ending of the poltergeist 3 film due to Heather's passing and they threw in a double to play Carol Anne in that last final scene with her face not being shown and made her look like she was asleep being held in her aunts arms just like the way Carol Anne was in the ending scene in the original 1rst poltergeist movie with her asleep in Diane's arms as they reach the motel.
always liked craig t nelson and the elegant jobeth williams.
Ah,yes,the now outdated Holiday Inn logo,with the flashing star at night. I remember seeing that many a time,on Holiday Inn signs,when I was little,in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Best Westerns also had a familiar logo(now also obsolete), a gold crown that also,flashed at night.
MrJamieMurph4141969 now just an ugly boring “Ontario airport Inn” sign.
Kind of wished both famous motel chains would bring back those signs!
Wasn't that TV on? Unplugged?
I'm staying at this motel now its called Ontario airport inn its in Ontario ca
Find out the the same room!
I think Spielberg ghost directed a lot of this film , Tobe Hooper was supposed to be the director
It's been debunked.
If you look after *Poltergeist,* Steven never again produced movies he didn't direct. Only executive produced
They must of went through a lot because of the poltergeist .

@@ericradford2142 I see your point, but sometimes cell phones are still necessary as not all have smart phones. So they're not as outdated and useless as the others on my list.
What is the TV program, in this film, where the guy is told he is dead? Is that a Twilight Zone episode?
What's great about this scene is that you can see that the Freelings have been through a very traumatic event through their facial expressions and body language alone. No need for dialogue to explain it or what their next course of action is.
0:55 somebody's got trust issues
Not trust issues, just uncanny wisdom.
Not a happy ending. More like a “thank God we survived” ending.
Or even more like a "The Survivors" ending.
I have a question. Why did he removed the TV 📺 from the room? I'm sure he had his reasons for why.
It's divine providence that this scene exists with so many compelling facts that either point towards or point back to this scene. So there are reasons why this is true. Television is the most powerful cultural influence on the planet. And it's no friend of God.
Because the whole thing literally started when Carol Anne was talking to the TV.
@@RM2011ish Actually, the whole thing started with the invention of television. And if you don't want to go back that far, then at least go back to 1966 when the question was asked "Is God dead?".
Yeh so sad they all in like in schock they heard or saw there house get sucked into another demension now they need a shower at hotel and homeless. Ya can still here the thunder in the distance seems to mark the storm coming closer and raining. I sort of lol when he puts the tv outside on the porch in the rain. Steve having to be the strong one know, keep all together. Yeh just a look to the camera of reflection of where he got go from here. Music so great at the end. So emotion too its rollercoaster ride.

Homecoming for Hollywood's brand new king and for a Vietnam War veteran. All is not well.

I visited this hotel today (today it is the Ontario Airport Inn) today (right next to the Ramada) And photographed myself outside room 209
What happened to the neighborhood in 1983 after the Cuesta verde incident
According to the 2011 World Almanac, the average TV viewing time in America was 34 hours. The average weekly hours worked by Americans in production was 33 hours. The national deficit during that time was $1.5 trillion, with a $13 trillion national debt. Now the national debt is even higher. Americans spent more time watching TV than they did working while the national debt increased drastically. How much longer will this insanity last? The television has got to go.
Recently saw an updated Almanac. The average TV viewing time in America was about 29 hours, maybe 28 hours. Still way too high. It should be less than ten just for those who decide to keep a TV in their homes. Maybe a game or two and one or two newscasts per week. Nothing else. And that's just for those who decide to keep a TV in their homes. This will be the generation known for skyrocketing the national debt while binge-watching television. The national debt is out of control. With a strong economy, we should have a $500 billion national surplus to help pay down the national debt. Also, we have an inability to ratify new amendments to the Constitution to reinforce Constitutional freedoms and life, both found in the Declaration Of Independence. Those freedoms and life are both under attack. America is too distracted to really care and too deceived by television to be united about those freedoms and about life.
Then after Steven goes back in after leaving the TV 📺 outside he probably says "Well are yall hungry? I can run to McDonald's and grab us all some food.Diane make me list of what everybody wants." Lol 😂
Everything about this ending is wonderful except seeing Kathleen Kennedy in the credits. It’s a sobering experience to go from magic to reality.
She was the production executive on Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist and others since Fall 1981. She and her husband, Frank Marshall
were also the founders of the KM Studio since 1986 along with COO Jonathan A. Zimbert and their creative staff whose credits were
Batteries Not Included, Empire of the Sun, Innerspace, The Monster Squad, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Presidio, both Back to the
Future sequels, Narrow Margin, Hook, the Jurassic Park trilogy, Congo among others.
This is no horror movie...it's about a family's love for each other that nothing can ever break...BTW they didn't use this song in the 3rd installment
I always wonder if the TV is sad too
After what happened that night, I would have ditched the television.

THE LATE 60's & EARLY 70's
*Americans walking on the moon.
*Hollywood's future king, Spielberg, working in television.
Spielberg's ticket sales of his four biggest hits from the last eight years are down by 85% compared to his four biggest hits from 1975 to 1982. (Poltergeist was not one of those four hits, but his name in 1982 meant something special compared to his name today. His achievements from 1975 to 1982 was something to behold.)
@@rigelbellatrix8410 although spielberg made a lot of hits post 1982 era as well.
@@jmjfanss True, but no 8 year time-period was as saturated with award-worthy chart-topping blockbusters that would go on to be later recognized as four of the greatest movies of all time by the AFI in the late 90's. To direct four of the ten biggest money-makers of its time within a decade was unlike anything Hollywood had ever seen before... or has ever seen since. Anyway, his hits since 1982 have secured Spielberg's position as financial king of Hollywood for decades, and Hollywood's legitimate king forever. And his two hits in 1993 helped add weight to this scene because of the numerous unlikely movie similarities between 1982 and 1993.
Was this scene filmed in Ontario,Ca or in Thousand Oaks,Ca.?
