For me a really tough choice. He has made some fantastic films. Jaws ie saving private Ryan. Jaws is such a great story and reminds mr significant much of my childhood. However; spr gets it because I loved the acting and the beginning scene of the film is a cinematic master piece. I still remember the first time I saw the Omaha beach landing scene. I was completely shocked by it. Although it was vivid and graphic it wasn't gratuitous. Personally I think it's his best work. The story, the character interaction. Some of the dialogue is very moving. The scene in the candle lit church when the medic is copying out the blood soaked final letter of the soldier who was shot by the sniper. He goes on to reveal how he used to pretend to be a sleep when his mum came home at night to tuck him in. You get a very intimate and private insight into a complex characters mind. Directed brilliantly. Yup for me his best work and probably the best war film if all time.

I watched Duel and Sugarland last night. I'm working my way through his back catalogue from start to Crystal Skull.

 

If you can, get hold of Amazing Stories for the two episodes that he directed. The Mission isn't particularly great but Ghost Train is quite enjoyable. Also, he directed one of the first Columbo TV movies, Murder by the Book.

Jaws genuinely terrified me as a kid, real tension throughout. ET is an integral part of my childhood and Saving Private Ryan has possibly the best opening 25 minutes of any film i've ever seen. Its a really tough question that. i went for Close Encounters but the more i think about it i'd say it has to be Jaws.
