To sum up...
9 outta the the best 100 films of all time (damn near 10%) were created by the genius of Spielberg IMO!
 
Not Spielbergs best. Want a good holocaust movie? See Life is Beautiful, with Begnini. Same "black and white" story, but freshly presented. A lot more powerful than Schindler, in my opinion.

What film do you consider Steve's best work ?

Life is Beautiful and The Pianist are both wonderful films ...

But Schindler's blows them out of the water, IMO of course. I find Life 'too cute' for my tastes and The Pianist 'too somber' whereas Schindler's List balances all of our emotions seamlessly; the humor, the cuteness, the horror, the comedy, the smiles, the tears ....
 
How come no one has mentioned Janusz Kaminski at all in this thread? I would have thought that he contributed a large part to the success of SL.

Well, John, in my opinion, for Steve's best work I would say A.I. I know the script is part Kubrick, but I really think its Spielberg at his best, playing with the elements he feels most confortable with.

Of course Janusz is the man and his collaboration with Steven over the years has produced some killer work; let us not confuse who is the real magician behind the curtain.

It is Steven Spielberg

Take a look at all of Spielberg's masterpieces:

From Jaws to Raiders to E.T. and Schindler's List and Jurassic Park and Close Encounter's ...

The cinemaphotographer's have changed but not the stroryteller. I do find that since Janusz came onboard starting with Schindler's List, Spielberg's films have never looked better.
