Music N' Other Drugs

Steven Spielberg has directed 34 films to this point in his career, but trying to pick an absolute favorite of the bunch isn’t so easy. His childlike enthusiasm and feel for how to lead a summer blockbuster into the promised land have combined for a slew of seminal moments throughout the years.

For this week’s list, I’ve taken on the task of selecting the 10 features that stand above the rest in my humble estimation.

My seven-year-old son suggested this topic, so I’ve included his own choices as an addendum.
