The last movie I enjoyed by Steven Spielberg was Munich, which came out in 2005. He made so many good movies before, what gives?

Get the gently caress out of here. It was a "piece," alright (of poo poo). It's rated exactly where it should be.

Ah, I just remembered what The Terminal was. That horrible Tom Hanks romantic comedy where he is stuck at an airport. War of the Worlds was pretty lazy and lovely too. Your cutoff should really be at 2002.

More like happened from A.I. and after.
A Kubrik/Spielberg film should have been the film of the decade, but good old Spielberg had to gently caress it up.

I think its George Lucas. Having nothing to do after ruining Star Wars he interferes with Spielberg's poo poo.
He was the one to suggest the alien in Indiana Jones, who know what taint he had imparted onto Stephen.

I really like the scene where the dude is in the phone booth and the truck comes right at him, all in one take. Also, when he tries to confront the driver in the diner was really nerve-wracking. Apparently Fellini was a huge fan of Duel.
