Steven Spielberg's 1970s

1. *Duel* (71) 90 minutes

The fear of being relentlessly chased by a large tanker truck. A superb suspense thriller created by Spielberg using only pure cinematic grammar. Spielberg has said that he replaced the monster Godzilla with a tanker truck, so there is no doubt that his style was directly linked to Jaws. The running time of the film when it was broadcast on television was 74 minutes, but for the theatrical release in Japan and Europe, Spielberg shot additional scenes, such as one in which David calls his wife, making it a 90-minute film.

Also worth reading: "Clash!" The opponent isn't the driver, but a tanker truck! A giant monster that shatters everyday life *Spoiler alert*

2. "The Sugarland Express" (72) 110 minutes

Although it bears a title that suggests it's a sequel to "Duel," this is a ploy by the Japanese distributor and it's a completely independent film (original title: "The Sugarland Express"). It's a comedic road movie about a couple who carjack a police car to get their baby back. The motif of escaping from the police has a certain American New Wave feel to it. Goldie Hawn's vibrant charm as Lou Jean is explosive. This film was Spielberg's first feature film.

3. Jaws(1975) 124 minutes

This is the origin and pinnacle of the now prolific shark movie genre, which includes "Deep Blue Sea" (1999), "Lost Vacation" (2016), and "The Meg" (2018). At just 28 years old, Spielberg released this blockbuster and proved himself a young genius filmmaker. John Williams' idea of ​​expressing the fear of an approaching shark with just two sounds, "da-da-da," is once again astounding. Roy Scheider's line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," has become so famous that it has become an idiom.

Also worth reading: Jaws is more than just a horror movie; it's a clever human drama. *Note! Contains spoilers.

4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind of the Third Kind (1977) 135 mins / 132 mins (special edition) / 137 mins (final cut)

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" between humans and extraterrestrial intelligent life. The scene where the giant mothership rotates above Devil's Tower is one of the most famous scenes in film history. Project leader Dr. Lacombe is played by the master director Francois Truffaut, known for "The 400 Blows" (1959). When he tells the protagonist Richard Dreyfuss, "I envy you," it may be his true feelings for Spielberg, who rose to become the King of Hollywood at a young age.
