Empire Online asked movie lovers to select their favorite films of all time, and the results have been revealed in the comprehensive The 100 Greatest Movies list. Since our focus here is on Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, we're noting specifically where their films placed on the list.
Here they are, in the order in which they appear:
86. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Director: Steven Spielberg / Writer, Executive Producer: George Lucas)
66. Return of the Jedi (Director: Richard Marquand / Screenplay, Executive Producer: George Lucas)
59. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Director: Steven Spielberg)
39. Saving Private Ryan (Director: Steven Spielberg)
The sheer bludgeoning, blood-spilling, visceral power of its Omaha Beach, D-Day-landing opening act ensured that Spielberg’s fourth World War II movie set the standard for all future battle depictions. Its shaky-staccato-desaturated style (courtesy of Janusz Kaminski’s ingenious cinematography) — newsreel made cinema — has been oft-copied, but rarely bettered.
33. Schindler's List (Director: Steven Spielberg)
19. Jurassic Park (Director: Steven Spielberg)
11. Back to the Future (Director: Robert Zemeckis / Executive Producer: Steven Spielberg)
9. Star Wars: A New Hope (Writer, Director: George Lucas)
8. Jaws (Director: Steven Spielberg)
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark (Director: Steven Spielberg / Writer, Executive Producer: George Lucas)
2. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Director: Irvin Kirshner / Writer, Executive Producer: George Lucas)
The original “this one’s darker” sequel, and by far the strongest of the saga. Not just because the baddies win (temporarily), or because it Force-slammed us with that twist (“No, I am your father”). Empire super-stardestroys thanks to the way it deepens the core relationships — none more effectively than Han and Leia’s. She loves him. He knows. And it still hurts.
What do you think? Any quibbles with placement? Let us know!
