Dunkirk was a major defeat but a true story, how fictionalized it becomes remains to be seen. SPR was a piece of fiction, a reworking of other event for the contrivance of this story. 

 

Isn't this film going to be about the resounding success that was the epically heroic rescue mission, then?

They let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape

[Quintus 6,339]

Haha!

Personally, I would have part with your copy of Always, but hey, that's me!

 

I have never seen Always. I read a synopsis and it sounds dull as dishwater. 

[Quintus 6,339]

It's like watching a movie on a TV mounted behind a syrup fall on the scale of Niagara.  

[Jay 45,828]

I've never seen Always either

[Wojo 2,458]

That actually sounds pretty sweet... 

[A24 5,123]

Strange, you are all Spielberg maniacs like this world has never seen and yet I've seen more Spielbergs than you guys?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,205]

They are false worshippers!

And you're the Snyder apologist who still hasn't seen BvS (not that I would wish that upon you)

[A24 5,123]

Oh dear, I haven't been a Snyder champion ever since Sucker Punch and that Owl thingy. It's like saying I'm a Scott apostle just because I like a few movies of his.

[Romão 2,469]

Good for you, then

[A24 5,123]

Steef likes to pretend that he's a Snyder apostle but he has never seen Sucker Punch or the Owl movie.

I've not seen:

 

The Sugarland Express

Amistad

AI: Artificial Intelligence

Catch Me If You Can

Munich

War Whores

Lincoln

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Amistad is mixed but is important sequences as powerful as anything SS has done.

[Wojo 2,458]

Nope. Nope nope nope.

The Middle Passage sequence is terrific

[A24 5,123]

It's a TV court movie. And like TV, there's too little wide shots.

[Quintus 6,339]

I have never seen:

 

Something Evil 

Sugarland Express 

Amistad 

The Terminal

Lincoln 

Bridge of Spies 

[Jay 45,828]

Not counting his pre-Duel TV work, the only Spielberg-directed theatrical movies I've never seen are The Color Purple, Always and Amistad.  Someday I'll see them all.

[Wojo 2,458]

At one point, Amistad was on Netflix. I like the score though.

[Sharkissimo 1,978]

Spielberg top 5, easily.

The drowning sequence is the most horrifying sequence in any of his movies.

[Jill Sandwich 11,045]

Darling... I need to get you to the church on time.

[mrbellamy 8,078]

When War Horse and Tintin were coming out I went on a mini-marathon catching up on all the Spielberg I hadn't seen, so I think I've just got Twilight Zone: The Movie left which I never tracked down. I suppose I'll see it at some point. Also haven't seen most of his early/TV stuff besides Amblin, Eyes, Duel, and Something Evil. 

[mrbellamy 8,078]

Mark Rylance talks Dunkirk, plus first teaser rumored to show at Comic-Con?

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

Rylance sounds impressed with the whole thing.  He seems very affable.

[mrbellamy 8,078]

 

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

Well, I am teased.

[A24 5,123]

Teasers are better than trailers these days.

[Romão 2,469]

It's a good teaser

[Koray Savas 2,260]

It's all I need to see. Still a year away though!

Werent they always?

[A24 5,123]

This one, Suicide Squad and The Shallows .... the rest I don't know ...

 

Of course, we haven't seen the full trailer yet but I don't see how it will be better than the teaser.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

I've never heard of Christopher Church. 

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

Please keep your irreverence to yourself.  This is not the proper venue.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

Brother Karol, back on the path of the righteous!

[crocodile 9,637]

The trailer has opened my eyes. I was being foolish not to see.

 

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,205]

Glad to see you have rejoined the kirk!

[crocodile 9,637]

The despicable heresies of false prophets Spielberg,Singer and Snyder made my faith stronger.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

Look to your sins, JWFan.  For non-Nolan Hollywood is dark and full of terrors.

Trailer? It's a teaser, you Nolanite!The trailer will be full of dialogue, plot and crying soldiers.

[crocodile 9,637]

Plot-o-phobe!

 

Karoo

[KK 3,310]

I know I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say that's a bloody great teaser.
