I think a lot of arguments can be (and have been) made for Raiders. Jurassic Park was also phenomenal, but I'd give Michael Crichton the credit for that - it was an excellent book. JP was more of a CGI triumph than a good interpretation of storytelling.
I voted for Saving Private Ryan, though, because I don't think any movie affected me on so many levels - I mean, has anyone seen anything that comes close to its first 15 minutes? That was film-making at its finest. The only negative thing I can say about SPR was that Vin Diesel was in it, but at least they had the good sense to kill him off first.
EDIT LATER: BTW, I know that, as in Band of Brothers, Spielberg & Hanks are producers, not directors - but I'm really looking forward to The Pacific starting tomorrow on HBO.
