Yeah like Im going to see a movie that only got a 3 minute ovation at the Venice Film Festival.  I have a 10 minute plus ovation policy

People forget how fucking nuts the boat sequence is. Plus people getting ground up, turned into alien fertilizer, and sprayed on plants is some of the darkest shit Spielberg has ever done. 

It’s a film I unashamedly love. It helps that Dustin Hoffman played Captain Hook straight out of a British Christmas pantomime. Basically on the same level as Alan Rickman in Robin Hood.

Bob Hoskins was also tremendous.

No, the #1 movie ever made is The Blues Brothers with an able assist from Stephen Spielberg in a pivotal role as the Cook County Assessor.

I thought War of the Worlds was amazing. It falls apart in the last act but everything before that is astounding.

I would have put it much higher on the list. There is not an ounce of fat on that film

Hook may be one of his weakest movies

Hook may be one of his weakest movies, but it is definitely in the top 5 of John Williams’ best Spielberg scores.

I remember critics and fans being unkind to War of the Worlds. I thought it was visceral and thrilling on the same level as Jurassic Park — both pretty much tailor-made to be watched on a large screen with a booming sound system. Yes, Dakota Fanning is terrible in it. And the ending makes no sense. But it’s fun for at…

While I just skipped to the listing to see that you had the correct #1 (you did), the name of the movie was RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (or just Raiders for those of us from that era).

Hook is super underrated.

I’m here to stump for Hook. I will live and die for Hook. How dare Hook be so low. You lewd, crude, bag of pre-chewed food dude!

Duel really does rip. If a car follows me for a lot longer than I think it should I always wonder if I ended up in Duel somehow.

Karen Allen, you fucking hacks.

Last Crusade in the bottom half?

Seriously, get fucked.

Jaws is #1 as it’s the best movie ever made. And this is coming from someone who saw Raiders in a theater in Flushing Queens in 81 when they theater lost it’s shit cheering when Indy appeared on the sub.

Having seen nearly every movie on this list and most in the theater (ok jaws in the drive in back when it came out), not only are these movies well done. What strikes me is the way they hold up after decades of rewatching and now have generations of fans. Just amazing a movie I saw in the theater in the 70s or 80s I…

In theaters Nov 23, on Netflix Dec 23. Since it’s absolutely impossible for AV Club to include this shit anymore.

Am I a terribly bad human being in that I’m noticing Daniel Craig’s wardrobe seems a bit more overtly gay? I approve of the gayness of course. Not that gayness requires my approval. I just notice that after making that aspect of the character public and canonical, there’s maybe a subtle lean into it with the clothes. …

I’ve never even been to Pandemia!

I enjoy the White Album. I mean, yeah, it's their least cohesive work, but there are just so many good songs.
