Experts from the British Film Institute have compiled a list of 10 films that influenced the work of Steven Spielberg. These films were not named by the director himself. And they were calculated as a result of a careful analysis of his work by experienced film critics.
This publication shows where the creative style of the legendary filmmaker comes from. True, Spielberg himself has repeatedly noted that his works do not have a specific style, and they are not distinguished by any special feature, such as, for example, the creations of Martin Scorsese.
