Favorite 1980's Steven Spielberg directed movie

[RIDDICK]

Voted same.

I was going to vote, but then I realized I haven't seen any of these movies except ET.

......I don't understand...

 

[Nintenjoe]

Not even a close call. Raiders. Still among the top 5 action movies ever made. Crusade is a fairly distant second.

E.T. is worth seeing. Once. Before age 12.

Duel being my favorite by Spielberg.

Ohhhhhh. I honestly forgot about that. Been a log long time since I've seen it. I always loved all the films from most of these eras. Always great sunny weather.

 

[Centurion]

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I just never got around to watching the Indiana Jones series. Someday.

Wow. It'd be interesting to hear what you think of them, having not had the childhood memories of them that so many have.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I'm sure 99% of us have fond childhood memories of that one. And it is a great, escapist movie for kids. Probably my favorite movie as a kid. That inevitably introduces some bias. I recently saw someone who reviewed Ghostbusters, seeing it for the first time as an adult, and reviewed it very favorably, but that's another one that I can never be totally sure about.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Ghostbusters is another movie I've never seen...

 

[fosing]

EEEEE TTTTTTT phone sex.

 

[EVILFACE]

ET's were in Phantom Menace with Yoda and while ET was Earth met someone dressed up as Yoda.

 

[fosing]

poor man's ET.....mac and me.

Had to go with ROTLA - how does one vote against Indy!? ET was fantastic and will always be a very special movie - a masterpiece of filmmaking.

 

[rushmore223]

I voted ROTLA.

I recently watched the Anniversary edition of E.T. after it sat in my DVD case for many years. I have to say that the CGI E.T. scenes are very jarring and take me out of he movie completely. Has Spielberg removed this version from distribution, or is it still readily avalable?

Not sure about that, but I know that my Blu Ray version has both the original and the version with the added CGI. I just watch the original as it was perfect the way it was.

WHAT ABOUT POLTERGEIST & GREMLINS MR POLL MAKER??

 

[EVILFACE]

He's not credited for that one.......

 

[Khev]

The 2012 30th anniversary blu-ray of E.T. has *only* the original 1982 version. It's the only way to fly.

 

[Centurion]

It's not even close.
ROTLA is way ahead in the poll.

Regardless, I enjoyed E.T. very much. It was an instant classic.

I like Raiders but have always preferred TOD and LC over it.
