What's the best Steven Spielberg movie?

And I don't get why it's such a shock to you that there will always be someone looking to disagree and stir the pot...😁

crimsonmoose3 said:Why on earth are you shocked that there will always be someone out there looking to disagree and cause trouble? 😁

True.😬

Amanda Taylor said:I don't get why you're so shocked that people have different opinions than yours..😕

Nah, it's not the different opinions... look at the poll. Joan of Arc didn't get a single vote, while Leon—who somehow pulled the most votes—is basically pedo-coded. Give me a break...
Is it even possible? Plus, Nikita and The Big Blue aren't any good either...

Henry Campbell5 said:you forgot to bold leon 🙂

Leon

Choosing between The Big Blue and Leon... hmmm, I'm really not sure myself...

Jerry Martin19 said:Nah, I'm not exactly shocked, but take a look at this poll... Joan of Arc Not a single vote in sight... Leon... The person who got the most votes is pedophile-oriented? Give me a break...
Is that even possible? And they aren't even any good either... Nikita...no. The Big Blue

Leon...

So now this poll is supposed to be an indicator of what kind of work it is?!...
I didn't say anything bad about Nikita, but as for The Big Blue... fine, yeah, I did... 😬

J-man said:The Big Blue is easily Spielberg's most powerful work; while Leon is an excellent thriller, it remains just that—a thriller. I find myself agreeing with Paul Davis51 here: The Big Blue possesses far greater artistic merit than Leon.

Finally, a voice of reason emerges.🙏 👍

Look, Steven Spielberg doesn't exactly make bad movies. In fact, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched The Fifth Element; I practically have it on permanent rotation in my house. But honestly? I have a massive soft spot for Arthur and the Invisibles. It’s this unique blend of live-action and animation that just works. It’s Good for a child, sure, but it really resonates with older audiences too, depending on how you look at it. Every single time I see those characters with their huge, expressive eyes, I just completely melt😍. Seriously, you all need to go watch it!🙂

J-man said:The Big Blue is easily Spielberg's strongest work—while Leon is an excellent thriller, it's still just a thriller. So I'm with Paul Davis51 on this one; The Big Blue has way more artistic merit than Leon.

No. Leon isn't just some thriller. Go back and watch it again... actually sit down and think about what defines a thriller, and you'll realize it’s so much more than that.

But, I get why people are drawn to The Big Blue. It’s not just about the "artistic" side of things—there’s this epic, almost overwhelming dimension to it that really hits home. It’s a movie about reaching out and pushing past every limit... it touches on the collective and individual subconscious...

Nikita 👍

Leon is basically the GOAT of movies 🙏 🙏 🙏

Paul Davis51 said:The Fifth Element is such a vibe—mostly because Milla Jovovich is absolutely killing it in that role. 😍

Honestly, I was watching Resident Evil 1 and 2 for the exact same reason—just totally fell down that rabbit hole. 😬

Her rebuttal:
The Fifth Element—mostly because Bruce spends like 90% of the movie just lounging around in a tank top.

Leon!
I have never quite understood why people hyped up The Big Blue so much...😕

because it’s just a damn good movie 😕

🙂

This is straight out of Matilda! BOOM! That legendary scene—and honestly, that absolutely ridiculous look on Gary Oldman's face when he finally realizes the bomb is actually live!

William Martinez36 said:Leon!
I honestly never understood why people went so crazy over The Big Blue.😕

Well, I guess it’s because the movie has this incredibly soothing effect on your nerves—especially that version from France! It drags on for about 160 minutes, after all.

darkmaker92 said:it’s because the movie just puts you into a trance, especially the American version! It runs for 160 minutes...

Yeah, I said it was a snooze fest. 🙂

The best? Hands down, The Big Blue (1988).

I ended up voting for Joan of Arc because, honestly, I just really enjoyed the movie. The way they handled the story was beautiful, and I loved how they left things ambiguous at the end—you’re left wondering if she was actually experiencing schizophrenia or if she truly was touched by God. It was such a smart way to adapt her story to the screen. I’m honestly not sure why you’d say the film wasn't any good, Jerry Martin19? What exactly didn't work for you?

Olivia Alvarez28 said:...not sure why you're saying the movie sucks, Jerry Martin19. what exactly didn't work for you?

you know why?
because Steven Spielberg is the guy behind Leon, Nikita, The Big Blue, and The Fifth Element... and then this Joan of Arc jumps in... ThatStarConfused:
i'm not saying the movie is a total disaster. just something I watched to kill some time, nothing more...

why wouldn't you prefer something like The Fifth Element? saying this is better is like saying Martin Scorsese's The Aviator is better than his Taxi Driver... ThatStarConfused:
