For me Spielberg's best movie is Schindler's List. It is one of the most terrifying movies of all time and I suppose a really realistic depiction of the Holocaust. As a German, I've heard a lot about that probably biggest crime in history, but Schindler's List made me really understand how cruel the Nazis were.
Well they said it was going to be about fun Spielberg movies not those kind of movies. But I agree it's a great movie even if you don't like this kind of movies.
+TempestHomicidal What you said is true but most of his war flicks or movies that take place during a war are more of his serious movies. For example, Empire of the Sun, Schindler's List, and Saving Private Ryan took place during World War II. Lincoln took place during the Civil War and War Horse took place during World War I.
+thecultofpop It's such a tough one, because you can't have Last Crusade without Raiders, yet Last Crusade is SUCH a well crafted film, all the father son moments, the references to the first film... however I'd have to go Raiders because of the INEXCUSABLE gaff with Indy's satchel strap MAGICALLY getting looped over the cannon that sticks out 5 feet from the side of the tank :(
+Evolve Slays The problem with Jurassic Park it not the film itself, the sequels are some real pieces of crap. Indiana Jones has only 1 mediocre installment (The Kingdom of the Crystall Skull) but Jurassic Park has 3 bad sequels. (including the last one, which has so much product placement and nonsense it was like ripping-off Michael Bay)
ET beating Jaws is Gen X nostalgia goggles. Jaws is CLEARLY the better movie, better paced, better acted, more important for movies. ET, meanwhile, is pretty schmaltzy and hasn't aged well.
+Andrew Flack Holy shit, I can't believe these guys consider themselves movie people and they all voted ET over Jaws, that's some straight bullshit, can't even take these guys seriously after that.
+DuckNationWTD Hadn't watched it since I was a kid so i decided to finally watch it a couple weeks ago and I have to say, for me, it really wasn't very good. I can see how it would have been huge when it came out, but doesn't hold up in my humble opinion.
+DuckNationWTD Me too. What kind of people could like a pile of triceratops doodoo, molesting little kids with its glowing dildo-turd finger?! Only coprophiles!
+Bryanne Peguero i didn't like the amount of CGI used in jurassic world, i mean it just seemed to drown out the intensity of fear in the actors. fun fact here, in jurassic park when the kids was in the car and the t rex smashed through the glass, that wasn't supposed to happen, the scream's were real.

+ChipArgyle Duel is great, but I guess it doesn't have enough votes on IMDB to qualify for this game. I'd certainly put it above many of the movies mentioned here, though.
+ChipArgyle YES! YES! YES! SO MUCH YES! I was looking for this comment, and here it is! I mean COME ON! Spielbergs first thriller or movie in general, didn't even get mentioned in this video!!!
Schindler's list far and away.. saving private ryan comes close though and I think removing Spielberg's historical movies removes the heart of his direction which is basically dominated by a character's emotion
+Scooter13101 Yeah, that's weird. I don't think there was any legal requirement/imperative for them to do so, so I guess it was just due to viewer backlash.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is definitely my favorite Spielberg movie, I re-watched it last Christmas for the first time in like 10 years and couldn't believe how well it held up. It's the original and the next 3 just can't compare. The Last Crusade is good, but more of a caricature of the Lost Ark.
+1985cactus Well, they do need to bring in a large enough audience to make a profit. RUclips doesn't make as much money as you may think, so they need to appeal to a broad audience. However, I do agree that they should have cut out the choices that obviously weren't going to win (A.I, Crystal Skull, Lost World) and replaced them with stronger contenders (Private Ryan, Schindler's List, etc.)
+Yuri Degtyarenko They flat out said that they didn't want the holocaust to have to go up against dinosaurs. They might have felt throwing his based-off-real-life-events movies going up against his blockbusters in such a format as this to be too crass.
thegodmachine I know, I do remember. But personally, I think that they should have tried to compare their merits as movies nevertheless. I feel that just avoiding the inclusion of these other movies altogether seems a little half-assed, given that they are just as big a part of Spielberg's filmography as the blockbusters.
I made a list once on IMDB ranking Spielberg's films and I had to go back to it to see the order I put them in. For me it's Catch Me if you Can all the way. There was never a dull moment in the way he told the story. Every scene had an "Oh my god, that just happened" moment. Loved it!
I was literally crying watching this. Spielberg is my favorite director and asking me which movies my favorite of his, its always between Raiders, Crusade and Jurassic Park. Its to hard. I debate daily whether I like Raiders or Crusade better and then you pit Jurassic Park against those 2, which is on my top 4 favorites, its like forcing me to kill one of my inevitable children, its to hard. I also agree that Tin Tin is MASSIVELY underated
+Dalton Moen between Raiders, Crusade, Jurassic park, E.T., Jaws, Tin Tin, and Saving Private Ryan you can find some of the best movies ever made and is simply TOO DAMN HARD choose one "best Spielberg Movie" its easily one of those.
Whoever disagrees that these movies aren't the best movies of all time, you've got no taste. No other movies can beat these two franchises. Steven Spielberg will always be the best Director of all time.
Some people have opinions idiot you don't have to have the same tastes of movies . People can have different opinions on things from you. So get along with your life and don't judge people because of that.
If it is just based on favorite, mine is Catch Me if you Can. I loved the fact that it was based on a true story and really showed off Spielberg's range of skills as a director. This would have been a great question for movie fights and seeing which opinions come up. Or if you did this with more directors as well. I loved the Nolan one. Tarantino would be pretty cool
It was great to see this shift in the way you approach your discussion panels on your show. The shorter duration compared to Movie Fights made it accessible and the concise opinions from the panel made it educational. I hope you continue to do this format! Thanks for the hard work and effort you put in!
I have now seen all of the movies in this video. I was saying I had to skip a few nights of watching one of his movies, but I did get to see all of them.
I couple of years ago I got a chance to see Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen. The first time I saw it on the big screen I was a little kid. Now, at nearly age 40, getting a chance to see that movie in the theater was one of my best movie going experiences. Raiders is like your favorite old record. An album that timelessly spans the decades without losing appeal. Sure the remastered MP3 will be louder and cleaner, but it lacks warmth and feeling. Raiders of the Lost Ark is my all time favorite movie. From its practical effects and stunts, to its cinematography, to its colors and sound. It's the standard all action movies get compared to.
Tintin is honestly one of the most underrated movies of all time. It's brilliant from the characters, to writing, to adventure, to style, to action. It's just old school adventure which we don't get these days.
I genuinely don't know what my favorite Spielberg film is, but I will soon! After months of searching the stores I have managed to collect every single one of his films on DVD and will soon begin watching them all in a row in search of this answer. Couldn't be more excited.

This movie isn't my favorite Spielburg movie (Raiders will always remain king) but DUEL! I know it was meant for TV but... IT'S UNDERRATED AS HELL! (along with tintin)
+NewKillzOnePointOh Duel is the definition of overrated??? I've never even heard of this movie until a few weeks ago. If it's so overrated I'm sure I would have heard of it a long time ago. (And I keep up on movie news and movie history)
My Top 10 Spielberg Movies: 1. Schindler's List 2. Saving Private Ryan 3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 4. Jaws 5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 6. E.T. The Extraterrestrial 7. Catch Me If You Can 8. Raiders of the Lost Ark 9. The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn 10. Minority Report
The best thing about these match-up videos isn't seeing if your favorite wins, but highlighting all these movies that are brought back to the foreground of your memory to go watch again rather than just cruising some Netflix garbage during your next viewing time.
It seems that way huh... Incredibly "Spielbergish" in its directions... In fact I have gone 26 years thinking Spielberg DID Direct Poltergeist hahahaha shit...
Jaws wins by fin. The "Iconic" soundtrack. More memorable and terrifying death scenes than Jurassic Park. To this day the film still messes with my head when I swim in an ocean. Tension is incredible, probably his biggest directorial achievement given the production and logistical difficulties making this film. Without Jaws there is no Jurrasic Park. Jaws is the Daddy.. Daaaa Dah... Daaaaa Dah 😏
The map room scene, are you kidding me? Indy, head wrapped in timeless garb, watching history and legend blur together right before his eyes, while John Williams beats us into the ground with majesty.
These are my favorite characters in these 3 Steven Spielberg Movies Jaws: Cheif Martin Brody Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indiana Jones Jurassic Park: Alan Grant
I actually met Harrison Ford in an elevator the morning after this was put up (which was my bday) and he was such a cool dude - what a great way to have started that day
I would still go with Jaws being my favorite. In some ways, the shark is just a catalyst to our human reactions to things. First it's about keeping the beaches safe for tourist money. When that fails, then three men from different life experiences must unite to battle the common enemy. Spielberg made the perfect film of human behavior using a killer shark plot.
"War Horse" was the most rethorical movie he's ever directed (and it's sayin' a lot, if you think about "Amistad", "The Colour Purple" and "Saving private Ryan" D:)
+Maximusringrock and Longshots and Alexander legion E.T. PHONE HOOOOMEEE!E.T. Is awesome!I luv it it's my fav movie ever!And I happen to thing E.T. Is Adorable and it's supposed to teach u it doesn't matter what u look like on the outside its what's on the inside even Elliott knows that!But whatever it's always #1 on my heart and in a lot of other people's hearts😊
As a child, I grew up watching 90s Spielberg movies, which I enjoyed. Watching this makes me want to watch all his movies that i haven't watched yet, like "Catch Me If You Can" and the Tin Tin movie. My favorite Spielberg movie is pending.
I almost completely agree. Raiders is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've watched plenty of times before, I'll show it to my kids and let the memory live on
Wow... That was intense. Actually I'm with Christian on the fact that Tintin is a very underrated movie. I saw it a few weeks ago and I didn't remember it to be that good. It made me think of the classic 80s Spielberg. It even has little homages to his older movies in the way it's "filmed", the way the camera moves... I really loved it. The rest... Quoting Andy, "it's tough". I remember going to see The Last Crusade to the theater when I was a boy and being absolutely blown away in a way I can't even put together now. But on the other hand, I started learning how to model and animate on a computer thanks to Jurassic Park, I remember being on the edge of the seat and, to be honest, quite scared with Close Encounters, Jaws is a PERFECT movie. My wife hadn't seen it, we saw it a couple of months ago and she absolutely loved it. I don't know... I guess it's easier to say Spielberg has been there all my life providing me with many of the best movies and some of the best experiences I've ever had.
This is probably one of the best videos you have made, I am glad you have gotten away from superheroes for a while and focusing on cinematic experiences. But this is honestly a tough question because like everyone, I grew up with Spielberg, But if i go back far enough, I think my first Spielberg movie was either Hook or E.T, honestly can't remember, but I think all his movies bring such joy and sadness, but I think Munich is very underated and so is Empire of the Sun! Empire of the Sun probably connected more to me as a child at the time because the film is filmed through the eyes of a child and you feel scared when Jim is scared and happy when is happy and confused when he is confused, honestly think him bringing history, character and story into that one film is an achievement itself. I honestly can't answer this tho because his movies are all so different haha.
Wow. I love E.T. however, JAWS is the greatest piece of entertainment I've ever witnessed... 8:50 It was my Star Wars as well. Simply amazing. I think I watched JP before Jaws.
Best Spielberg movie: Schindler's List. Do you want an emotional punch to the gut? This is that movie. It's brilliantly shot and executed. It put Liam Neeson on the map. It beautifully depicts the ugliness of the Holocaust while telling us a real story. The best Spielberg blockbuster is Jurassic Park. I know Indiana Jones is iconic but it doesn't appeal to me that much, and I love adventure movies. Jurassic Park gives me chills. It's score is electric and full of emotion. The dinosaurs are incredible and hold up today.
1)The Last Crusade 2)Catch Me if You Can 3)Jurassic Park 4)Saving Private Ryan 5)ET 6)Munich 7)Raiders of the Lost Ark 8)The Adventures of Tintin 9)Minority Report 10)The Terminal
Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws are perfect movies from start to finish, with no wasted scenes. Of those two, I think I give the SLIGHT edge to Jaws. Jaws had to create tension with strong character development and acting since we see so little of the shark, and it just MAY be the best character developed film I have ever seen.
Very upset at Dan for choosing E.T. over Jaws. E.T. may have made you want to make movies but Jaws helped solidify why I wanted to be a marine biologist when I saw the movie at 4 years old.
I actually wished the dramatic stuff was included in this too. It's not like if you compared Schindler's List to Jurassic Park that you're going to be offending anybody. You're on about the quality of the films, not what they're about. Calling this video Spielberg's Best Blockbuster would've annihilated all of these criticisms.
AGREED! Raiders is just one of those all time classic adventure movies with mystery, and fun! Also with one of the greatest characters on screen, Indiana Jones.
even though i dont totally agree with the final selection , I must say that this video about you guys discussing spielberg was fascinatingly entertaining ! thanks

I did do it, but over an almost 3 week period. I tried to watch one of the movies a night, but I had to skip a few.
Oh. I've seen most of them. Most of his movies are pretty good. Some of them maybe not. Which ones didn't you get to see?
I have now seen all of the movies in this video. I was saying I had to skip a few nights of watching one of his movies, but I did get to see all of them.
Oh that's good. I hope you enjoyed them!
Best Quentin Tarantino movie next when The Hateful Eight comes out.
I couple of years ago I got a chance to see Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen. The first time I saw it on the big screen I was a little kid. Now, at nearly age 40, getting a chance to see that movie in the theater was one of my best movie going experiences. Raiders is like your favorite old record. An album that timelessly spans the decades without losing appeal. Sure the remastered MP3 will be louder and cleaner, but it lacks warmth and feeling. Raiders of the Lost Ark is my all time favorite movie. From its practical effects and stunts, to its cinematography, to its colors and sound. It's the standard all action movies get compared to.
Tintin is honestly one of the most underrated movies of all time. It's brilliant from the characters, to writing, to adventure, to style, to action. It's just old school adventure which we don't get these days.
I have a greater appreciation of Temple of Doom after watching Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...
1:18 Actually Germain, it did in the match up of 90s Action movies.
Catch Me if you Can is my favorite Spielberg film.
I genuinely don't know what my favorite Spielberg film is, but I will soon! After months of searching the stores I have managed to collect every single one of his films on DVD and will soon begin watching them all in a row in search of this answer. Couldn't be more excited.

This movie isn't my favorite Spielburg movie (Raiders will always remain king) but DUEL!
I know it was meant for TV but...
IT'S UNDERRATED AS HELL! (along with tintin)
+Benny Z Duel was so boring! It is the definition of overrated. (either that or ET)
JAWS is where it is at!
+NewKillzOnePointOh Duel is the definition of overrated??? I've never even heard of this movie until a few weeks ago. If it's so overrated I'm sure I would have heard of it a long time ago. (And I keep up on movie news and movie history)
+jimmicreesti Absolutely. What a clever way to show protagonists and antagonists in a film. Truly a forgotten masterpiece.
I find it hilarious that he is wearing a jaws T-shirt and didn't pick the movie.
Plaese say: based on the arguments.
My Top 10 Spielberg Movies:
1. Schindler's List
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
4. Jaws
5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
6. E.T. The Extraterrestrial
7. Catch Me If You Can
8. Raiders of the Lost Ark
9. The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
10. Minority Report
Do you not like Jurassic park?:-(
The best thing about these match-up videos isn't seeing if your favorite wins, but highlighting all these movies that are brought back to the foreground of your memory to go watch again rather than just cruising some Netflix garbage during your next viewing time.
saving private ryan ? schindler's list ?
Munich? Empire of the Sun? Duel?
Oh, right, sorry :D I didn't give it the right importance;)
Poltergeist was what came to mind for me, but its ONLY for movies Stephen directed.
Not Wrote.
Of course, legend has it that Spielberg was indeed the *real* director of Poltergeist and that Tobe Hooper was on drugs most of the time...
It seems that way huh... Incredibly "Spielbergish" in its directions...
In fact I have gone 26 years thinking Spielberg DID Direct Poltergeist hahahaha shit...
Jurassic Park FTW!
Jaws wins by fin. The "Iconic" soundtrack. More memorable and terrifying death scenes than Jurassic Park. To this day the film still messes with my head when I swim in an ocean. Tension is incredible, probably his biggest directorial achievement given the production and logistical difficulties making this film. Without Jaws there is no Jurrasic Park. Jaws is the Daddy.. Daaaa Dah... Daaaaa Dah 😏
The map room scene, are you kidding me? Indy, head wrapped in timeless garb, watching history and legend blur together right before his eyes, while John Williams beats us into the ground with majesty.
Raiders of the Lost Ark. A perfect film. Literally the greatest adventure film of all time.
do more of these!
These are my favorite characters in these 3 Steven Spielberg Movies
Jaws: Cheif Martin Brody
Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indiana Jones
Jurassic Park: Alan Grant
I mean chief not cheif.
I agree except I would switch Allen grant with Ian Malcolm.
Indiana Jones 4 was awesome!
Daniel Mateus It is! People complained because of the Shia haters. I actually enjoyed it a lot. Even Chris Stuckmann liked it.
It wasn't bad, but it was really bad by Steven Spielberg standards. I think it was a decent movie.
I actually met Harrison Ford in an elevator the morning after this was put up (which was my bday) and he was such a cool dude - what a great way to have started that day
dan murrell - wears JAWS T-Shirt
dan murrell - Picks E.T
It's Jaws. It's always been Jaws. And it will always be Jaws. My god, you really needed 15 friggin minutes to arrive at the most logical conclusion?
This video is mislabeled.
Raider's of the Lost Arc is my absolute favorite Spielberg move. The action, excitement, mystery and adventure is just so unique and classic!
I would still go with Jaws being my favorite. In some ways, the shark is just a catalyst to our human reactions to things. First it's about keeping the beaches safe for tourist money. When that fails, then three men from different life experiences must unite to battle the common enemy. Spielberg made the perfect film of human behavior using a killer shark plot.
Didn't Steven Sp. direct War Horse? That's a great movie. I feel like its underrated. I wish it was on this list.
But they were doing blockbusters tho
oh, right.
+Everything In The Rain youre profile pic i perfect youre my solul mate
"War Horse" was the most rethorical movie he's ever directed (and it's sayin' a lot, if you think about "Amistad", "The Colour Purple" and "Saving private Ryan" D:)
can you guys stop doing honest trailers of movies that just came out?
Jaws is 10x the movie ET is
+Maximusringrock and Longshots and Alexander legion
E.T. PHONE HOOOOMEEE!E.T. Is awesome!I luv it it's my fav movie ever!And I happen to thing E.T. Is Adorable and it's supposed to teach u it doesn't matter what u look like on the outside its what's on the inside even Elliott knows that!But whatever it's always #1 on my heart and in a lot of other people's hearts😊
As a child, I grew up watching 90s Spielberg movies, which I enjoyed. Watching this makes me want to watch all his movies that i haven't watched yet, like "Catch Me If You Can" and the Tin Tin movie. My favorite Spielberg movie is pending.
Stopped watching the minute you said all his films are not included. Stupid discussion then.
Duel. Such nothing, but so much.
indeed
+MyFabian94 duel is a tv movie. I love it but it cant be included
I know. It's such an intense movie but with barely any lines of dialogue. It takes a true master to do that
Shawshank Redemption
I hope you are kidding
Lanmater ooops I meant Star Wars
+E.J Robinson I hope you are kidding again
+E.J Robinson Just stop....
Chooses E.T over Jaws while he's wearing a Jaws T-Shirt
I'm going with "Duel" - so raw
Jaws should have won, but I can accept Raiders as an acceptable substitute!
Than change title to best Spielberg blockbuster movie...for God sake ... - facepalm-
I almost completely agree. Raiders is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've watched plenty of times before, I'll show it to my kids and let the memory live on
Love Dan's passion about E.T. Most kids my age dont understand that kind of passion
Wow... That was intense. Actually I'm with Christian on the fact that Tintin is a very underrated movie. I saw it a few weeks ago and I didn't remember it to be that good. It made me think of the classic 80s Spielberg. It even has little homages to his older movies in the way it's "filmed", the way the camera moves... I really loved it.
The rest... Quoting Andy, "it's tough". I remember going to see The Last Crusade to the theater when I was a boy and being absolutely blown away in a way I can't even put together now. But on the other hand, I started learning how to model and animate on a computer thanks to Jurassic Park, I remember being on the edge of the seat and, to be honest, quite scared with Close Encounters, Jaws is a PERFECT movie. My wife hadn't seen it, we saw it a couple of months ago and she absolutely loved it. I don't know... I guess it's easier to say Spielberg has been there all my life providing me with many of the best movies and some of the best experiences I've ever had.
Saving Private Ryan is not only the best Spielberg movie of all time, it is the best film of all time
Raiders was great but I love the antics in last crusade plus just having all those great actors together brought it to life.
This is probably one of the best videos you have made, I am glad you have gotten away from superheroes for a while and focusing on cinematic experiences. But this is honestly a tough question because like everyone, I grew up with Spielberg, But if i go back far enough, I think my first Spielberg movie was either Hook or E.T, honestly can't remember, but I think all his movies bring such joy and sadness, but I think Munich is very underated and so is Empire of the Sun! Empire of the Sun probably connected more to me as a child at the time because the film is filmed through the eyes of a child and you feel scared when Jim is scared and happy when is happy and confused when he is confused, honestly think him bringing history, character and story into that one film is an achievement itself. I honestly can't answer this tho because his movies are all so different haha.
The entire Indiana Jones trilogy for me is number 1. Choosing my favourite is hard as heck, maybe last crusade or even temple of doom.
Jurassic Park's gotta be my favorite. Which it why it hurts so much to see it come so close.... YOU'RE TEARING ME APPART HARLOFF!!!!!!
Wow. I love E.T. however, JAWS is the greatest piece of entertainment I've ever witnessed...
8:50 It was my Star Wars as well. Simply amazing. I think I watched JP before Jaws.
Best Spielberg movie: Schindler's List. Do you want an emotional punch to the gut? This is that movie. It's brilliantly shot and executed. It put Liam Neeson on the map. It beautifully depicts the ugliness of the Holocaust while telling us a real story. The best Spielberg blockbuster is Jurassic Park. I know Indiana Jones is iconic but it doesn't appeal to me that much, and I love adventure movies. Jurassic Park gives me chills. It's score is electric and full of emotion. The dinosaurs are incredible and hold up today.
1)The Last Crusade
2)Catch Me if You Can
3)Jurassic Park
4)Saving Private Ryan
5)ET
6)Munich
7)Raiders of the Lost Ark
8)The Adventures of Tintin
9)Minority Report
10)The Terminal
Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws are perfect movies from start to finish, with no wasted scenes. Of those two, I think I give the SLIGHT edge to Jaws. Jaws had to create tension with strong character development and acting since we see so little of the shark, and it just MAY be the best character developed film I have ever seen.
Honorable mention: "The Duel"
Very upset at Dan for choosing E.T. over Jaws. E.T. may have made you want to make movies but Jaws helped solidify why I wanted to be a marine biologist when I saw the movie at 4 years old.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is probably my favorite out of all Speilberg films which is saying something because I love almost all his movies
I actually wished the dramatic stuff was included in this too. It's not like if you compared Schindler's List to Jurassic Park that you're going to be offending anybody. You're on about the quality of the films, not what they're about. Calling this video Spielberg's Best Blockbuster would've annihilated all of these criticisms.
AGREED! Raiders is just one of those all time classic adventure movies with mystery, and fun! Also with one of the greatest characters on screen, Indiana Jones.
Every movie made Dan fall in love with something. I was half expecting a twist at the end "... but Raiders made me fall in love with archaeology".
even though i dont totally agree with the final selection , I must say that this video about you guys discussing spielberg was fascinatingly entertaining ! thanks
