I can just barely do a top 10, the rest of hus filmography ranges from mediocre to bad:

1) Minority Report
2) Jurassic Park
3) The Lost World: Jurassic
4) Saving Private Ryan
5) War of the Worlds
6) Catch Me If You Can
7) Schindler's List
8) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
9) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
10) Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark

I haven't seen West Side Story but I still feel safe designating it as the one I dislike most. From what little snippets I've caught, and based on what I've read, it being a bomb is well deserved. The Post seems awful too though, Spielberg sure fell from grace.

From what I've actually seen however, Jaws is worst. That fake looking shark and plodding pace just reeks of that old movie stench.

...I mean, you don't need to see them----------there ain't no film gestapo comin to get you if you don't.

'AI' stinks, and 'Color Purple' is punishingly unpleasant. You could just watch something you like, instead.

It's more of a "need to see because I want to but haven't yet".

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

...why do you want to watch 'The Color Purple'? Are you experiencing an inconvenient surfeit of joy, or something?

Curiosity, & an innate drive towards anything purple.
