My first post has to be a massive thanks to Mr Steven Spielberg for deciding all those years ago that he was going to start making movies.
I was very young when I saw Jaws and couldn't bring myself to watch it (or go too deep in the water) for many years. When I watched it as an adult I was on the edge of my seat most of the movie and still am when I watch it now many years on. For this reason Jaws is my favourite movie.
ET was most likely my next Spielberg film to enjoy...tears of joy and sadness and exhilaration came....and still do...I kid you not.
Like a lot of kids my age, my first experience of Indiana Jones was Temple of Doom and NOT Raiders! I went with my family and my mum would not stop shrieking and laughing...to tell you the truth it was like sitting with Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw's character)...however it actually made the experience so much better having someone react the way an audience is meant to react but are maybe sometimes too embarrassed to.
Anyway, these early experiences in watching Spielberg's films have made life just that little bit more enjoyable, exciting and downright memorable and I want to thank Steven Spielberg for all his work in Film Making.
Hey. Nice blog. I still think Raiders is the original and best ... still have a thing for Marion and although Temple of Doom is supposed to be darker I can't be doing with the socialite screaming of Willy Scott. Marion every time.

Great blog...One of my favourite Spielberg flicks is Jurassic Park. I remember first seeing it in the theatre with my brother and being blown away by the story and the realism. It did what every great movie should do...make you forget you're watching a movie!
