The most ‘perfect’ film by Steven Spielberg, according to the director himself

With an iconic filmography filled with blockbusters and classics, director Steven Spielberg manages to list his favorites – and the filmmaker even revealed which film is the most “perfect.” He was responsible for productions such as Jurassic Park – Dinosaur Park (1993), Shark (1975), Schindler’s List (1993) and ET The Extraterrestrial (1982).

During an interview with The Late Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Spielberg revealed how there is a movie of his that he has watched “over and over” these last few years. “I don’t look back on my films much after making them. I don’t look back very often, but I occasionally watch a film with my children,” stated the director.

“I want to accompany my children when I see ET with them for the first time. I don’t want them to see ET without the dad sitting there, especially the scary parts at the beginning,” revealed the filmmaker. “Sometimes I see things I intended to do that I didn’t do, and sometimes I see things that would have been a better idea than what I’m seeing right now, all these years later – but, for the most part, ET It’s a very perfect film.”

It’s one of the few movies I’ve made that I can actually look back on again and again.
