Now or in the age of childhood?
Because if i want to be honest my childhood self would pick Temple of Doom. While as an adult i prefer Raiders of the Lost Ark. I’m glad its favorite because i’m not a film historian or professional reviewer to go and say how objectively the films Spielberg has made since Schindler’s are all better more adult faire.
I like the movies he made like Close Encounters, ET, and the Indiana Jones movies and Jaws. The popcorn flicks critics poo pooh and say aren’t worth their time. In the modern era my favorite films of his are Catch me if you can, and Minority Report.
I honestly don’t hate any of his movies except for the remake of War of the Worlds. Though there are some that were so boring i never finished. Most of those were topically political or historical in nature.
One i eventually finished which was a hard watch but was brilliant nontheless , Munich. I never did finish the Terminal or Bridge of Spies, or The Post. Did watch Lincoln more than once. War Horse was great.
Never watched the BFG. That was the kids one he made for Disney.
