The best Steven Spielberg films, chosen by directors, critics and super-fans: ‘pure popcorn perfection’

From franchise hits to historical epics, joyous musicals to autobiographical family sagas: Steven Spielberg has done it all. As his latest sci-fi film Disclosure Day is released, film-makers, authors and Guardian critics reveal which of his movies means the most to them

Steven Spielberg is often described as the inventor of the “event movie” – or as the creator of our new age of IP supremacy, in which the genre property is more important than any above-the-title film star. But that isn’t quite it. He came of age in the American new wave era but in spirit belonged neither to that nor fully to Hollywood’s golden age studio system that preceded it.

Film Quote of the Day: Steven Spielberg's Philosophy That Inspired Generations of Dreamers

Steven Spielberg said four words in a 1985 Time Magazine interview that have stuck around for 40 years.

We're pretty romantic about the director and his work around here, as his films have played as a backdrop to our lives, particularly the early stuff—Jaws, E.T., Close Encounters. Now, with Disclosure Day nearing release, we're thinking about his career and how he's managed to flourish for so long.

If you sit with those words as a working filmmaker, there's a philosophy buried in there.

In 1985, Spielberg had just finished Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins (as producer), and was about to release The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun in quick succession. He was 38. He had already changed cinema twice over. And his description of his own job was "dreaming."

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
