The best Steven Spielberg films, chosen by directors, critics and super-fans: ‘pure popcorn perfection’

From franchise hits to historical epics, joyous musicals to autobiographical family sagas: Steven Spielberg has done it all. As his latest sci-fi film Disclosure Day is released, film-makers, authors and Guardian critics reveal which of his movies means the most to them Steven Spielberg is often described as the inventor of the “event movie” – or as the creator of our new age of IP supremacy, in which the genre property is more important than any above-the-title film star. But that isn’t quite it. He came of age in the American new wave era but in spirit belonged neither to that nor fully to Hollywood’s golden age studio system that preceded it. In fact, he synthesised both into a directing style that was audacious and fluent. He availed himself of the subversiveness of the new wave, and yet was classically oriented, drawing upon his love of – and alienation from – the all-American suburb, making him the Edward Hopper or the Andrew Wyeth of the movies.

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. Yesterday in the Côte d'Azur, within the framework of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, the premiere of the biopic "Elvis" by Baz Luhrmann, starring a young 30-year-old actor Austin Butler, took place. By the way, after watching the film, the audience applauded for 12 minutes, but this did not break the record of Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth," which was not released after the whole 22 minutes! 20-year-old Kaia Gerber came to Cannes to support her lover. They first appeared on the red carpet separately but later reunited for a passionate kiss. The eyes of the audience all evening were riveted to this couple, who looked incredibly happy and in love. The model was dressed in a luxurious red dress with elegant thin spaghetti straps with bareback and black heeled sandals; the image was complemented by diamond studs. Kaya's hair was pulled into a messy bun, and her minimalist make-up was done in peach tones. Austin chose a dark suit for a secular exit, on the lapel of which a miniature white and purple bouquet was attached. Recall that Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler were first spotted together in December 2021, and from that moment on, the couple, who, by the way, have a 10-year age difference, have been inseparable. Prior to this, the model met with the actor of the TV series "Euphoria" Jacob Elordi and Austin - with actress Vanessa Hudgens (their romance lasted eight years but did not lead to anything). But back to Cannes: the Elvis Presley biopic generated a lot of interest from the public and the jury, which, of course, greatly encouraged the director of the film, Baz Luhrmann, who hopes to recreate the success of 20 years ago, when he brought the Moulin Rouge to the Cannes Film Festival with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
