RANKED: Every Steven Spielberg movie from worst to best

The release of "The BFG" this weekend marks the 30th feature film directed by Steven Spielberg. It's also the first of the director's movies to be both produced and distributed by the Walt Disney Company.

Spanning more than 40 years, Spielberg's work boasts an extremely diverse array of stories, characters, and themes. He's made whimsical fantasies aimed squarely at children ("E.T.," "The Adventures of Tintin"), complex morality stories that most children likely won't understand ("Bridge of Spies," "Amistad"), and graphically violent dramas that most children probably shouldn't watch ("Munich," "Saving Private Ryan").

After watching all 30 of the movies directed by the man known as "The Beard," I've decided to take on the difficult task of ranking them from "worst to best." The only two Spielberg movies that I consider to be inherently disappointing are sequels to far superior predecessors: "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "The Lost World: Jurassic Park."

That being said, I in no way dislike the movies that rank low on this list. I've found something to love in all of Spielberg's movies. Over the last four-plus decades, Spielberg has given us a handful of absolute classics, a few slight misfires, and numerous gems that might not get the credit they deserve.
