From Saving Private Ryan to Amistad, these are Steven Speilberg's 10 best historical movies.
When it comes to the topic of genres, Steven Spielberg seems like the rare filmmaker who can tackle them all. It's hard to narrow in on one type of movie, when looking over everything within Spielberg's body of work, but there have been numerous times when he's made historical films. Plenty of his movies are set in the past, sure, but that doesn't make them all automatically identifiable as historical dramas.
7 'Amistad' Amistad is a film that tells the story of an uprising that occurred on the titular slave ship, with particular emphasis on the court cases that followed. It was a real-life event that occurred in 1839, with the legal proceedings being key events that occurred shortly before the American Civil War, and shortly before the practice of slavery itself was abolished in the U.S.
It's technically a historical thriller, but those hoping for plenty of action or in-your-face suspense may be disappointed. Still, as a tense, slow-burn sort of thriller based on true events, it feels well-oiled, competently put together, and is generally engaging. By no means is it top-tier Steven Spielberg, but even lesser Spielberg is still better than the efforts of many other filmmakers at their best.
It is, by and large, the Daniel Day-Lewis show, but many supporting cast members also turn in strong performances — Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, to name a few. It's a slow movie at times, but an effective one about the end of the Civil War, and the final stages of Lincoln's life, ultimately being of a higher standard than most historical/biographical films because of the excellence of the acting on offer.
2 'Saving Private Ryan' The story and characters of Saving Private Ryan may be fictionalized, but some sites — including Letterboxd — still apply the "History" genre tag to it. It's the case where it's certainly not a biographical film, but its setting and some events depicted are historically accurate.
