On the question of quality vs quantity... Since T2 in 1991 Cameron has done True Lies and Titanic. Spielberg has done...

Posted by Ender (aka Ender) Dec 2 '09, 12:14

... Jurassic Park, Schindler, Jurassic Park 2, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, War of the Worlds, Munich, and Indy 4.

I'd say Spielberg wins that hands down, even including the duds.

Responses:

Whoops, forgot AI in there too. -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 12:20
Also, Hook and A.I. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 12:19
There isn't really a dud in the bunch. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 12:18 10
- seriously? There are several imo. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 12:19 9
  - Well, maybe Indy 4. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 12:20
  - Sveral? Name them. I can see where someone can see one or maaaaybe two. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:19 7
    - JP2, Indy 4 and War of the Worlds. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 12:21 2
      - WotW was not a dud. Weaker than some, but not a dud. - Spawn Dec 2, 12:22
      - Plus AI. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 12:21
    - Oops. Did not see JP2 on there. Two, maaaaaybe three. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:20
    - For me, Indy 4 and Jurassic 2 -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:20 2
      - For me, "several" means at least four. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:21 1
        
        Not disagreeing with you -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:22
(also, it's amazing that Indy 4 is easily the worst movie in that list.) -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:18 15
- JP2 was awful -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:18 14
  - the book was quite good, but the good got lost in the transfer to film -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:19 4
    - yeah, I loved the book. - groiny Dec 2, 12:20
    - When you start off with "Character A was only mostly dead", it ain't that good a book. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:20 2
      - yeah that was lame...but forgiveable... -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:22 1
        
        little black girl gymkata'ing the Velociraptor was the death of it for me. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:22
  - I enjoyed all the Jurassic Parks to some degree. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:19 6
    - I actually liked JP3 quite a bit. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:20 3
      - Yeah, it wasn't too bad for a standard popcorn flick. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:21
      - The pteranodons ruled. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:21 1
        
        yeah, it was a strong part. - groiny Dec 2, 12:22
    - I'm pretty sure I haven't seen JP3. Wasn't there a JP4? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:20 1
      - Just three. I liked 3 better than 2. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:20
  - Yeah, the 2 sequels there are definitely the weakest links. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:19 1
    - Yeah, of the rest of them I think the worst you could say is "eh, not great". -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 12:24
Oh, don;t get me wrong, SSPEI wins hands down. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:17
word -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:15
(Of that list, I haven't seen Amistad or War of the Worlds) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:15 10
- Amistad. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 12:18
- The Terminal here. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:17
- Schindler, Amistad, Ryan, Munich -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:16 4
  - All of those are worth watching, I'm sure. (And I hated Munich. But it was worth watching, I guess. Mostly.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:16 3
    - if you hated it why was it worth watching? -- nm - J Dec 2, 12:17 2
      - It told a story that many people wouldn't know about. My issues with it ... are more to do with stupid flourishes that spielberg added. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:18 1
        
        Are you sure you're not thinking of Don't Mess With the Zohan? - Roger More Dec 2, 12:23
- Amistad and The Terminal here -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:15 2
  - I enjoyed The Terminal quite a bit, it was cute. Not necessarily a powerful film, but cute. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:16 1
    - word -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:17
without a doubt. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:15
agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:14
