The Evolution of Steven Spielberg

[Machiavelli]

We're definitely Spielberg fans. So many iconic movies spanning his over 50 years of directing. So with the release of his latest movie, The BFG, we bring you Steven Spielberg's directing evolution. We're gonna need a bigger boat.

*****Also big oops. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is 1977 and Minority Report is 2002. We knew this from our research, but somehow in the edit we messed it up. Sorry!

Don't ever see Temple of Doom.  It is creepy evil.  They pull out a guy's heart in their temple ceremony.

The vast majority of the stuff I've read about that film is negative.
