Steven Speilberg has directed a number of popular movies with diverse themes. Which is your favorite among those and why?
My favorite aren't necessarily long movies, but the short TV movies he produced back on the 70's and 80's. These were shown on TV, and most where sort of fantasy. For example, I remember one about a soldiers trapped in the lower machine-gun turret near the main landing gear of a B-27 during WWII. This young soldier could draw some amazing charcoal or pencil pictures, but was stuck in the turret and could not come out. One side of the main landing gear would not extend because is was badly damaged. All he could do was to create a fantasy by drawing the aircraft with the landing gear intact, so the aircraft landed using the imaginary landing gear. I know that to some such a movie would be stupid, but all of these short movies had a happy and uplifting ending, and that was the point about them.

That show was Amazing Stories. I enjoyed it too.
Recently I rented Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
It was pretty darned good. And I'll always have a soft spot for ET and the first two Jones movies, did not like the others as much.
But Duel will haunt me forever.
