10 Best Steven Spielberg Films

10. A.I Artificial Intelligence

Spielberg teams up with Stanley Kubrick to make a generation spanning sci fi film about the nature of existence. What’s not to like?

In this futuristic fairy tale, "David", a highly-advanced robotic boy, hopes to become a real boy so that he can win back the affection of the human mother who abandoned him. His adventure takes him throughout the world of the future leading him to eventually become frozen in a second ice age only to be thawed out 2,000 years later. No really.

Very much a modern day Pinocchio film, A.I Artificial Intelligence has the wonderful ability to show the passage of time and not having the audience become bored. The fact that our lead character never ages is a clever way to ensure that all the horrible things he sees have extra weight because we’re seeing them through the eyes of a child.

The ending, while wacky when you say it out loud, is a perfect combo of Spielberg’s soft character building approach and Kubrick’s off the wall ‘how far can we take this story’ style. It really is a standout sci fi film.
