Um, Vincent . . .Where is A.I. on the poll? I know it's unlikely to be someone's absolute favorite but still . . . .you put Always in there.

I would have put AI. It's not my favorite movie up there, but I think it's one of their best efforts as a collaboration. I had to choose SPR as my alternate.

I really like alot of the movies on the poll, but I had to go with Jurassic Park. I think both the movie and score are fantasic, and that the score works with the movie extremely well.

Jurassic Park, hands down. It is the score that got me into music, which is a big part of my life, and it got me to really appreciate and love good movies. I am forever in it's debt.

A.I. was at the last position of the list and I have surely made a wrong manipulation, so unfortunately, it has not been added :?

AI might very well be the one I would vote for. Still, it's hard.

come on people show some backbone.

Are you wimps?

You say you can't choose between this list of movies? Get real, there are obvious qualitative differences between these films. Lets face it Always, AI(which isn't here), Hook, Last Crusade don't hold candles to the great films Spielberg has done.

This is one of the easiest polls you can put on this board.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I'll have to vote for Close Encounters.

The film and the music is probably the best ever made. They fit perfectly together.
Haven't seen A.I. yet, so......

I understand you say Raiders as well. Great film and music.

E.T. is my favorite score and one of my favorite movies. It's purely wonderful. Both the movie and score are very moving for me.

Geesh! Too many to choose from. I almost voted for E.T. but changed it at the last second to Hook for some reason.

Funny, you don't mention what you voted for. And why are you always adament about people making decisions?

Clearly, Joe. That is merely your opinion. Always was OK -- certainly not Steven's best. I love ...and the Last Crusade and I think A.I. is an amazing film that was made with pure brilliance.

Hook, despite it's apparent flaws (most of it is intended, actually) is a great movie and a great ride for the imagination.

But then again, two of my favorite all-time stories are "Pinocchio" and "Peter Pan".

Director - who thinks E.T. is pure magic with a twist of brilliance and a dash of perfection, to put it simply
