In 1964, director Steven Spielberg kick-started his film career with the low-budget movie, Firelight. The film – which is now almost all-but lost to time – was a sci-fi thriller, about flying saucers attacking citizens of a town.

After directing some television shows, as well as a collection of shorts, Spielberg then moved on to direct the 1971 television movie, Duel. The film proved very popular with audiences, which led to Spielberg helming additional TV movies, including Something Evil and Savage.

From here he progressed to the big screen with the picture, The Sugarland Express. Jaws followed a year later, then Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and soon Spielberg became a household name.

Over the years, plenty more pictures followed, with most becoming critical and commercial hits. Notable films included E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Schinder’s List, amongst others.

But how familiar are you with Spielberg’s portfolio of feature-length movies? If you were asked to name them how well would you do?

Well, don’t worry, because this post has all the answers. Below you will find a list of all of Steven Spielberg’s movies, presented in chronological order.
