Spielberg, what a legend. So many fantastic movies under his belt. Too many to count. But Minority Report is probably my favorite of them all. War of the Worlds and Lost World are probably his weakest.
 
Not very often you see one of the world's best artists leaving a self-statement like this in their preferred medium. It'd be like John Steinbeck writing an autobiographical novel or The Beatles writing a rock opera about their time in Liverpool or Hideo Kojima making a Persona game lol

This is the first story written by Spielberg since The Goonies, and it's a personal one. I can't wait to see this.

So Deadline spoiled the big hyped ending. It's a story people have heard about Spielberg, and the movie confirms it happened.

When Spielberg first came to Hollywood he met John Ford who gave him some advice, this happens in the movie and David Lynch plays Ford.

I do love Spielberg's work but if you watch enough of them, he has a formula that he doesn't deviate from. His endings are always "safe". I like to be uncertain on where the movie is going and for Spielberg's films, you can accurately assume how it's going to end after the first third of the film.

Spielberg movies were such a massive part of my childhood, both ones he directed and ones he produced, it's hard to imagine my childhood without them.

I saw most of them, Jaws, E.T., Close Encounters, Jurassic Park, the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Back to The Future trilogy, Poltergeist, The Goonies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, even deep cuts like the American Tail movies and Batteries Not Included.

I think Gremlins was the only real major one I didn't see as a kid and obviously the more adult oriented ones like The Color Purple and Empire of The Sun I didn't watch as a kid, though I did see Saving Private Ryan in theaters.

Then you had the TV cartoons he produced like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, like I said Spielberg was a massive part of my childhood, I had a similar experience he did when he saw The Greatest Show on Earth as a kid but for me it was Jurassic Park, I was only 3 and it blew my freakin' mind.

Hopefully this isn't his last movie, but his final film with John Williams is a big enough milestone, end of an era for sure.

Batteries Not Included is fantastic. I loved that film when I was a kid
 
I've always held this fantasy of him coming out with something on the level of Jurassic Park again, but while he's made some good ones like Minority Report in the years since, nothing was quite as mind blowing as his 1975-1993 run of blockbusters and it seems like he's losing his touch with the blockbusters, Ready Player One was very disappointingly mediocre and he's been leaning way more into the dramas than the blockbusters.

But at least this one looks really special, which is great coming after the ho hum West Side Story remake.

Forgot to mention another deep cut, Harry and The Hendersons as well as the TV series Amazing Stories.

It's funny how he's the most commercially successful filmmaker but there's some obscure stuff he had a hand in as well.

Jaws will always be the best.
I would say either Raiders of The Lost Ark or Jurassic Park is the best, but Jaws is a classic of course.

It's funny how despite being seen as the original summer blockbuster Jaws is more a character drama compared to what we think of as blockbusters today.

But those films are both bangers
War of The Worlds isn't the best but it's not bad, was a very fun time watching it in theaters that first time, not knowing just what the hell you were about to see.

Those two Tom Cruise movies are interesting and stand out among his career, it's too bad they never worked again together but Scientologists had to go and ruin that.
