35 Steven Spielberg Movies Ranked
The latest: Happy Birthday, Steven Spielberg! Today is the legendary director’s 79th birthday, and you can join in on celebrating him by checking out one of his classic films from our list below.
A box office success out of the gate (at 16, he shot a movie for $500 and sold $501 in tickets), Steven Spielberg has toiled in what must be the world’s funnest imaginary sandbox, on his way to becoming the most successful movie director ever. From the depths of his talent, we’ve gotten dashing adventurer archaeologists (Indiana Jones), far-away visitors (E.T.), hungry hungry dinos (Jurassic Park and sequel), and maturing insight into some dark moments of recent history (Schindler’s List, The Post). Recently, Spielberg looked to his own past, creating a semi-autobiographical portrait of the artist as a young man in The Fabelmans. And next year, Spielberg returns to “alien cinema” with Disclosure Day.
Sure, his movies transcend generations — but how do they stack against each on the Tomatometer, piled up like so much mashed potatoes? We’re ranking all of the Steven Spielberg movies from lowest to highest, and finding out.
