From War of the Worlds to Jaws, Steven Spielberg has directed some of cinema's most iconic thrillers.
Given that Steven Spielberg has made such a wide variety of movies over 50+ years, it's hard to summarize his filmography with a few choice words and even harder with just a couple genres. Spielberg is behind many sci-fi classics, grounded dramas, the occasional comedy, war films, and some of the all-time best action/adventures.
8 'Bridge of Spies' In some ways, Bridge of Spies feels comparable to The Post, and it's fitting that Spielberg made both within a couple of years. Bridge of Spies dramatizes a real-life event concerning a tense prisoner exchange between the Soviet Union and the U.S., as the former has taken a U.S. pilot captive, and the latter has a convicted Soviet spy.
6 'War of the Worlds' Watching the 1950s version of War in the Worlds in the 21st century is a fairly breezy affair. The movie is a lot more fun than scary, even if it probably unnerved viewers 70 years ago. Modern-day sci-fi fans will also feel pleasantly removed from the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast back in 1938, orchestrated by Orson Welles, which apparently had listeners truly worried.
The film's just under 90 minutes long and plays like one extended road rage incident: a large vehicle relentlessly pursuing a much smaller one. It's about as basic as thrillers get, but its simplicity is its greatest strength. Spielberg's budgets and ambitions grew post-Duel, but the film remains easy to watch, and audiences won't have a problem getting sucked into its tense plot.
It explores the flaws inherent within such a concept, examining themes of guilt, justice, innocence, and the dangers of unchecked law enforcement. Minority Report is among Spielberg's most thought-provoking films; thankfully, for those who are more concerned with thrills, it never forgets to stay exciting.
