Steven Spielberg Film Poll!
Added 2023-06-29 18:41:35 +0000 UTCHelp pick the Spielberg movie we will react to!
We LOVED the feedback we got from last month's director poll! The Coen Brothers took the win, so we'll be watching one of their films in July and we'll start with Spielberg for August. We've noted where the votes fell and all the comments you've left so we can't wait to explore more directors!
Please feel free to suggest other options in the comments for future polls!
NOTE: Sam has seen Hook, so this would only be my first time reaction. I have seen Munich, so this would only be Sam's first time reaction.
*We haven't seen these films unless noted above. If you disagree with the genre, you'll have to take it up with Google ;)

I am crossing all my fingers that TBR will react to Empire of the Sun and Munich someday, they are two of Spielberg's best, imo.

2023-08-15 01:45:59 +0000 UTCThat was a great film! Unfortunately this is a poll, so it's a popularity contest. Not a talent competition. The best one often ends up losing to more well known and popular titles.

2023-08-14 17:42:48 +0000 UTCWorth watching just for that performance - you feel like you're looking back through time at the real man.

2023-07-26 18:42:46 +0000 UTCEmpire Of The Sun is the right answer.

2023-07-06 09:02:52 +0000 UTCWar Horse is quickly losing the race. I love that story, not just the film but the stageshow too.

2023-07-05 10:59:32 +0000 UTCshame Duel didn't make the list, it was sort of Spielberg's dry run for Jaws.

2023-07-03 01:03:59 +0000 UTCi liked the movie, but there's over 20 reactions to RPO on youtube.

2023-07-03 00:26:11 +0000 UTCi really would like to know the average age for the votes on each movie
YoureMrLebowski
2023-07-03 00:13:14 +0000 UTCA shame War Horse is dead last, and likely to stay there, because it's among my favorite 21st century Spielberg jawns.
Paul Cox
2023-07-02 23:39:45 +0000 UTCEnthusiastically seconded!

2023-07-01 13:21:31 +0000 UTCMy favorite sci-fi show. And one of my favorite TV shows all time. Between Earth, Mars and the Belt, I sided with the Belters.
Athos Count de la Fère
2023-07-01 00:13:37 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I know this isn't the place for it, but I hope you two react to The Expanse whether publically or just in Patreon at some point. There's no way you two won't absolutely love it. It's got seriously amazing characters, an incredible story, and everything in between. Some have called it Game of Thrones In Space for those reasons, and they're not wrong... except this show is insanely good through to the end.

Mitchell
2023-06-30 22:21:08 +0000 UTCLincoln depicts a pivotal moment in American history and Day Lewis is phenomenal in it. I would also suggest Spielberg’s earlier TV film “Duel.”

2023-06-30 19:27:45 +0000 UTC@Stan the Man, I didn't even know it WAS Spielberg, which says a lot.

Armchair Wizard
2023-06-30 17:47:47 +0000 UTCRespectfully, Hook is among his weakest imho. It's a decent effort but definitely aimed at the younger crowd

2023-06-30 16:13:04 +0000 UTCHuh. For Jurassic Park that's a shame. Wotw I guess I don't really care too much.

2023-06-30 13:47:58 +0000 UTCI think they've seen those off channel
Odd Thomas
2023-06-30 13:34:47 +0000 UTCThere are some great moments in Hook, but mostly in the third act. I always found it really slow, particularly as a kid.
Odd Thomas
2023-06-30 13:32:41 +0000 UTCit's called democracy...

2023-06-30 11:11:10 +0000 UTCReally hoping Hook wins out!
David Crabtree
2023-06-30 10:40:27 +0000 UTCI really agree. I like Hook, but usually prefer both of them be blind, but i'd rather Hook Win over my actual favorite choice (Lincoln) just so RP1 doesn't win. So if its a tie, I'll vote Hook as a tiebreaker.
Armchair Wizard
2023-06-30 04:31:24 +0000 UTCYeah... I loved the book, but man, I don't think anyone who worked on that film understood the subtext. Actually, I don't believe they realized there was any subtext.
Lük
2023-06-30 03:04:04 +0000 UTCWell, to each his own! What I respect most about Spielberg is his versatility. The same guy directed "Schindler's List" and "1941?" Huh?
William 1611
2023-06-30 02:34:33 +0000 UTCI agree. I'm not trying to bad mouth other people's taste, but come on. There are so many good films on this list its kind of sad that one is winning.
Armchair Wizard
2023-06-30 02:14:03 +0000 UTCIt’s sad. I said elsewhere it’s the only Steven Spielberg movie where I couldn’t feel him behind the camera. I thought maybe due to all the CGI but Tin Tin is CGI and that feels like a Spielberg film thru and thru. Tin Tin is fantastic.
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:50:40 +0000 UTCEven a bad Spielberg film, if there is such a thing, is still worth watching. I don’t think there’s any SS film I’d call bad. Maybe RP1. But there are def mediocre films. Always and the Terminal big examples. But even something like 1941 or Hook I’ll go to bat for.
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:48:27 +0000 UTCA.I needs to win. Honestly, I’d take any of these over RP1. I’m shocked to see it doing so well. But I guess it’s more recent? I dunno. A.I got a bum rap when it was released but it’s just..I really hope it can ekk out a win
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:45:17 +0000 UTCTin Tin is super underrated. I love it. But A.I. Is a wondering movie. I wouldn’t say it’s exciting but i wouldn’t describe it as not exciting either. RP1 is Spielberg’s worst film. I don’t feel his presence at all.
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:43:42 +0000 UTCReally? RP1? Man…
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:41:21 +0000 UTCReady Player One is winning? First of all, all these films need to be watched. It’s sad to see Tin Tin so low. But please, don’t let RP1 win. And I love Hook with all my heart but A.I, Munich, Lincoln, Empire of the Sun…they are all masterpieces.
Stan the Man
2023-06-30 01:39:11 +0000 UTCa near perfect film
Elisa Pfau
2023-06-30 01:23:30 +0000 UTCTo each their own, but I felt the movie was way more about corporate/franchise worship and it felt very flat and awkward. After that I had no interest in reading the book even if it is different.
Brandon
2023-06-30 00:44:59 +0000 UTCIt is one of the rare instances of a movie being better than the book. That tells you how bad the book is. They could change the name of the book to "Boy that stalks girl with 80's pop culture references." It is one of the worst books that I have ever read.
Shawn Brink
2023-06-30 00:03:19 +0000 UTCYeah, I have to agree. I'm guessing it was a cool film if you hadn't read the book. It's just too different, so I was disappointed when I watched it.
TGrimace
2023-06-29 23:44:10 +0000 UTCLincoln is by far the best film Spielberg ever made!
Lamar Savage
2023-06-29 23:31:24 +0000 UTCReady Player One being in first place kind of makes my heart hurt.

Eric Lee
2023-06-29 21:35:53 +0000 UTCJurassic Park! How have you not watched this yet??!! I would also recommend War of the Worlds. I wouldn't say it's a great movie but it's good.

2023-06-29 20:49:36 +0000 UTCAI won't win but you should watch it anyway.
Shaun2342!
2023-06-29 20:47:51 +0000 UTCSpielberg is a great director, but he's made his share of mediocrities, too: people should remember that both Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron struck out more often than they hit homers. Anyway, on this list, I'm voting for "Munich," which everyone should see. ("Lincoln" is wonderful, but it'll have to wait.) I'm old enough to remember the monstrous atrocities that marred the Munich Olympics, and this film is a brilliant presentation of those awful days. Please, guys: "Munich!"
William 1611
2023-06-29 20:35:46 +0000 UTCMunich is the most underrated film in Spielberg's entire catalogue. It has some compelling performances worth paying attention to which, despite being a Best Picture nominee-very few did. Ie: Lynn Cohen's portrayal of Golda Meir screams Oscar!

2023-06-29 19:26:58 +0000 UTCIt's definitely the grimmest film in Spielberg's later cannon.

2023-06-29 19:18:34 +0000 UTCMunich is really unique and good, in many ways my fav Spielberg. Great casting and cinematography.

2023-06-29 19:02:07 +0000 UTCRPO will win (and it's great) but AI is such a forgotten classic, I hope you watch it anyways
Odd Thomas
2023-06-29 19:01:02 +0000 UTCEmpire Of The Sun is such a great movie. This and War Horse should have more votes.

Athos Count de la Fère
2023-06-29 18:56:04 +0000 UTCI would be most excited about Tintin. I think it is the best movie out of these. A.I. kinda is not so exciting. Ready Player One is exciting, but there is a little too much going on in that movie. It will probably win the poll.
Mike LL
2023-06-29 18:55:04 +0000 UTCPoll says Choose all that apply but the options are single vote only. I'm voting for RPO but I'd love to see Munich as well.

2023-06-29 18:54:22 +0000 UTCI vote Lincoln. Daniel Day Lewis acting is fantastic. It's too bad he has retired from acting. 😞
Athos Count de la Fère
2023-06-29 18:50:10 +0000 UTCI agree with this. It would be cool to knock out a Spielberg and a Daniel Day Lewis watch in one go.

Florian Meier
2023-06-29 18:45:53 +0000 UTCAnother Daniel Day Lewis Oscar performance in Lincoln. It's also an overlooked, important, story about how tough it was for Lincoln to pull everything together.
