I voted ET - before walkie-talkies - because I love cute little aliens.
Actually, I wish Spielberg had kept up with writing movies. Close Encounters, Poltergeist, Goonies... all three are great movies that he has story and/or screenplay credits on.
Charlatan may be right that we demand different things from movies now, but I do find myself less interested in Spielberg's more recent movies. I enjoyed Minority Report, but it didn't have the magic of ET, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, etc. It was also inferior to the short story it was based on, but that's to be expected.
