He fucked up AI, but probably still #1
Out of curiosity, how exactly do you think he fucked it up?

]But is the Japanese 'John Ford' Kurosawa?
First blockbuster
The biggest blockbuster of all time 17 years later
One of the greatest film trilogies of all time in between
The biggest war movie ever
One of the greatest films of all time at least artistically and importance wise (shindlers list)
One of the greatest sci-fi films of all time (not a fan but I acknowledge it)
I'll say he's the greatest blockbuster director and most
Timeless director of all time
Other directors seem to think he's a pretty good director.
Kubrick liked him
You either mean blocking actors or you are contradicting yourself.
Dude put out Jurassic Park and Schindler's List in the same year.
Both films combined to win ten academy awards, which is pretty cool.
Arguably created the Summer blockbuster(for better or worse).
Not only did he direct some all time great films, he produced some amazing films and Television as well.
The man is a legend. No matter what you think of his recent output.
I liked Bridge of Spies and Lincoln. :shrugs:
Top five directors includes John Cassavetes.
Ray Carney lol.
Carney is a silly man, in some ways, but Cassavetes was 1000x the artist Spielberg is, in any era.
No, I mean that he largely has a good eye for framing shots but cannot resist the siren call of the trite closeup with the swelling music, and other such shitty contrivances.

Lol true, it really is more of the other way around.
I dunno who I'd call the American Kurosawa, but it sure as hell isn't Spielberg.
Some people regard him as a hugely popular hack
your post is a shitty contrivance
a hack that directed Schindler's List? Who said that?!
You may not like his other 'family friendly' offerings or his recent works post 2000s but you can never take credits like being director of Schindler's List, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark from the man.
Not sure about American directors, but Kurosawa was ,among many other things, a master of movement and framing. So I'd say Alfonso Cuarón is his modern equivalent.
If you want your emotional responses spoonf—
Raiders of the Lost Ark is in the top 3 action films of all time.
I was fucking with you
I could see that. Or his amigo Iñárritu. Biutiful was strikingly evocative of Ikiru.
Not one of my personal faves but I agree 100%. Top 10 for sure, abd made a huge impact on the industryProbably my personal fave, but objectively somewhere in the top 10 ( his early stuff does a lot of the heavy lifting)

Every film student that I know hates Spielberg lol.Film students usually, which means you are correct.
He's the American Spielbergo.Lol true, it really is more of the other way around.

I know people have their issues with Iñárritu, and I have mine, but he's cool in my book just by being the prime Lubezki enabler.
I liked Bridge of Spies and Lincoln. :shrugs:
I've actually always associated Lubezki more with Malick since The Tree of Life was such a formative experience for me. But the dude gets around.
Curious as to what issues you've got with Iñárritu?
In my opinion, at the time of release, I thought I was watching the perfect movie till he put his spin on the ending. It wasn't supposed to be a happy ending, it was supposed to be somber and sad, we didn't get that.
