The big three
Some of my favorite movies were done by at least one of the following. The best came when all three joined up with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones This work or art comes out on DVD this month. I can not wait to get my copy.
Stephen Spielberg started to lose the touch, in my opinion, when he decided to do that stupid tiny toons cartoon. George Lucas lost it with episode I and II of Star Wars. But John Williams still captivates my interests.
Spielberg’s redeeming quality is his name. For Lucas, the fact that he owns THX and ILM. John Williams is still going strong.

Amen on every point in this post except the snipe at Tiny Toons. It was excellent. Spielberg lost me when he started preaching to me in almost every movie he made. I don't go to the movies to be preached to. I go to be entertained. I get enough preaching at church.
