Spielberg’s best scenes encompass multiple genres.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Throughout a career that has spanned five decades, Steven Spielberg has directed a wide variety of now-classic movies, and his best scenes showcase his flair for bold action and quiet drama all the same. The king of the summer blockbuster is behind some of the most iconic scenes of all time, including the rolling boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark and the bicycle scene from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Spielberg didn't want to cast Robert Shaw in Jaws to begin with, but his USS Indianapolis monologue proves that he was perfect for the role. Although the men are drunkenly exchanging playful stories, everything slows down for Quint to tell them about how the ship sank, and the crew had to survive in the water for days as sharks repeatedly came back to pick them off one-by-one. Shaw's performance is incredibly powerful, and he also helped to rewrite the monologue.

Schindler's List's girl in the red coat stands out from the rest of the action. The splash of a color in a gray and violent world represents the last remaining shred of optimism and innocence, but even this is snuffed out as the Nazis storm the Krakow ghetto and begin indiscriminately slaughtering Jewish people. The scene shows the incredible scale of the atrocity, but focusing on one girl amid the chaos helps contextualize the tragedy even more.
