Here I am, cheering for the little guys again! My new best friend ...

Empire of the Sun +2 because I was 12; before I understood film, before I knew Spielberg, THAT scene stuck in my head "Mustang of the skies!"
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom -2 damn it's getting mean in here! It's a great flick, but somehow it doesn't quite work as a proper Indy flick. That said, if number four is only half as good, it'll still be sodding marvellous.

Schindler's List +1 cuz it gets the Munich supporters excited. 
Jaws +1 cuz it's a benchmark in film history IMO. 
The Sugarland Express -2 cuz this is like a reality show. It sucks, but somebody has to go home!

Empire of the Sun +2 because I was 12; before I understood film, before I knew Spielberg, THAT scene stuck in my head "Mustang of the skies!"

Actually, it was "Cadillac of the skies"

You know, as I typed it I thought "this doesn't sound half as good as I remember ..." 

What can I say? It's so late, it's actually tomorrow.  I'm going to bed before I say something even more stupid.

Jaws +2: I like to stir trouble
Sugerland Express -2:  Never seen it but let's put it out of its misery

[Najemikon]

Sugarland Express is an unusual film, but shows many of the raw qualities that we take for granted from Spielberg now. The final shot in particular is wonderful, several notches above a typical TV film. You should get it. It must be dirt cheap now, it was on region 2.

Just wanted to give it a shout out before it dies!

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Both of these were sitting at 10. Not sure if they've received any votes but wanted to get them off the 10 mark.  I liked the lost world better than temple of doom.
