Steven Spielberg List - 206 Must-see Movies - Spielberg Curriculum

Steven Spielberg List - 206 Must-See Movies - Spielberg Curriculum


This is interesting. Alleged to be a list of films Steven Spielberg requires associates to learn, study, and I guess...well...view these films.


I don't know how true that is, or where the list actually came from. It's been debunked briefly and emphatically on Twitter, but it's a darn good list.


Charming story, too. Some bloggers seem outraged, or scoff that Mr. Spielberg would expect his employees and associates to learn all this. I think those persons are silly, or have probably not worked in the movie business.


If you were in the Picture Business, you'd need to know what a great picture looks like. If you were working with one of the greatest picture-makers ever, you would need to know your game. You have lots of competition, Boyo.


Odd only one of Mr. Spielberg's films is on this list. I think it is a good film, yes great, but not his best work, certainly not one of his recent masterpieces.


I don't think this list is all that far from the mark, so I pass it along to you. How many of these movies have you seen?


If you want to work with Mr. Spielberg, you should know these 206 films.

Film Production - The Best Movie Ever?

Film Production - The Best Movie Ever?

A German friend compiled this list,
I'm not sure if it's even near a true "100 best,"
as there are several films on it I think are only "okay,"
but this is not my list. This is Franz List.

So ponder it, or...just enjoy the clips...




Here's a great idea, carried to its logical extreme, because...

"Anything worth doing is worth overdoing."
-- Sam Longoria

Countdown of numbers in your favorite 100 movies.
I may have posted this before. I don't care. It's great.




Another great idea. Thank God cellphones are not ubiquitous, omnipresent, or even everywhere, because they would easily screw up some truly great cinema.

Yes, I know "Gilligan's Island" is not primarily a movie, but
there really is a Gilligan movie in development for 2011.

It obviously needs three full development years, to make sure it's just as good as it can possibly be. Perhaps that is not enough time. Take as long as necessary, guys. Don't rush it!

I hope it comes out after the end of the world in 2012,
adding Insult to Apocalypse. Anyway, these clips are funny.
Ignore the University Of Phoenix ad. I'm not listening, la la la...
