Jaws
Jurassic Park
Indiana Jones 1,2,3

those are some good list of movies and a lot are my favorites but more on the gritty, realistic depictions

I was going by the epicness of the movie (title edited) and how much success they had with their films.
Spielberg by far is the highest grossing director, he's worth at 3.7 Billion dollars. James Cameron at 700 million. Francis Ford 300 mil, Oliver Stone at 70mil, Stanley at 20 mil

He's been the best America has for getting any semblance of truth on the big screen.
that's for sure, he filmed the movie "Platoon" based on his experience serving as a grunt in Vietnam. I think most of the characters in that movie were someone he knew from different squad, platoon, company, or battalion

Depends on your definition of an “epic.” In addition to the ones listed above I would add Mel Gibson (ex Braveheart, The Passion) and Ridley Scott (ex. Gladiator, Alien).

Not really a fan of either, I like some of their movies but think that a lot of other Directors would have done just as good a job with the same tools.

That being said, Spielberg hands down.

A.I. was good but War of the Worlds was shit, True Lies did waay better at the box office

True that, I personally didn't mind War of the Worlds, and I forgot about the Alien series. I still think Spielberg takes it though.

Braveheart is awesome, one of the best but Mel didn't direct as many movies as two mentioned

Gladiator was good but not sure if because it was after Braveheart, I didn't feel the same epicness but Alien was definitely better than Aliens

Alien vs Aliens is basically the perfect retard test.

Most people like the sequel more and that's because most people are retards.
