Firstly, thanks to everyone who took the time to vote in our latest poll (557 of you in all, giving us a new site record!), which we've been running to coincide with Trevor Hogg's fantastic five-part profile on legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, "Encountering Spielberg".
With such an exhaustive back-catalogue there was certainly plenty to choose from, so without further ado here are the results of our poll to find your favourite Steven Spielberg movie...
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - 108 (19%) Jurassic Park (1993) - 76 (13%)
Schindler’s List (1993) - 53 (9%)
Jaws (1975) - 52 (9%)
Saving Private Ryan (1998) - 45 (8%)
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) - 34 (6%)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - 33 (5%)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) - 19 (3%)
Catch Me If You Can (2002) - 17 (3%)
Duel (1971) - 17 (3%)
Hook (1991) - 15 (2%)
Minority Report (2002) - 14 (2%)
Empire of the Sun (1987) - 12 (2%)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - 11 (1%)
Munich (2005) - 9 (1%)
The Color Purple (1985) - 8 (1%)
War of the Worlds (2005) - 7 (1%)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) - 6 (1%)
The Terminal (2004) - 6 (1%)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) - 5 (0%)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) - 4 (0%)
1941 (1979) - 3 (0%)
The Sugarland Express (1974) - 2 (0%)
Always (1989) - 1 (0%)
Amistad (1997) - 0 (0%)
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) - 0 (0%)
Biggest surprise for me was the amount of love for Jurassic Park, which was front-runner for the first half of the poll before Raiders of the Lost Ark stormed out to take the crown. Hard to argue with that and a worthy winner in my opinion (check out Five Essential Spielberg Movies for more of my own thoughts). It's also interesting to see that only Amistad failed to register a vote (well, discounting Twilight Zone: The Movie, that is), and that out of the top ten only Catch Me If You Can was made in the last decade.
Anyway, moving on and with The Social Network opening soon what better time than to examine the career of David Fincher, with Trevor's new three-part profile "Killer Talent" starting this coming Wednesday. So then, what's your favourite David Fincher movie? Please take the time to vote in our poll.
