Once was more than enough. It literally makes me twitch - then I have to get up and leave.I'm not a Spielberg fan, but I do acknowledge his considerable directorial gifts. However, I'd prefer to watch them exercised in a film like Raiders I, Empire of the Sun (flawed, I know), AI (ditto), Schindler's List or Castch Me If You Can. There is something about his sensibility that puts me off in almost all his films, and it's not just his vaunted sentimentality. Spielberg is soft headed, not just soft hearted, and that I can't forgive, despite his undeniable talent.
For me, Jaws marks the beginning of the end of an era in studio movies, an adventurous era of smart films I was sorry to see replaced by manipulative, over-the-top blockbusters like Jaws.
Oh, and I don't like ET either. I'd rather watch Bringing Out The Dead a hundred times.
