Acrimony might have the coolest poster I've ever seen for a movie I'll never watch.

And I was going to guess E.T. for quote #4, but Six nailed. Is #3 Catch Me If You Can?

last but not least.

As i was researching the column this week. I came upon Steven Spielberg movie rankings, a ton actually. But instead of ranking them, it thought it would be fun to to fill out a bracket.

let us know what you come up with or post your bracket

Here's mine, the first round was quite easy, as i realized i have not seen quite a few of his films. but it got really difficult by the end.

My final is Schindler's List Vs Jurassic Park.

EDIT - this is different to one I saw online earlier today. Final would be Schindler Vs War of the World.

I guess you didn't notice that I already posted the theatre counts, but with my own spin.

Meanwhile, Ready Player One got an A- Cinemascore. So it seems like audiences like it more than critics.
