QotD: Happy Birthday Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg, one of the most influential personalities in film, was born on this day in 1946. Which one of the many films he directed do you call your favorite?
What a range to choose from! And can I choose his acting career too? Who could forget the Blues Brothers final sequences in the Cook County Assessor's Office (that was him).
A special mention should go to Jaws. I was in a surf lifesaving club when that came out, & we all found the shark's behaviour laughable. It made scenes like the boat-eating one v funny.
The Back to the Future series did a good job of trying to explain time paradoxes: secret brain food in a silly movie, & de Loreans are beautiful.
I'm giving to Schindler's List. Moving, v effective filming style, excellent adaptation of the novel. If only he'd given it the right name: Schindler's Ark.
