Steven Spielberg makes good movies. We’re all in agreement with that, right?
Sure, there are some movies that we would never put on a top ten list ranking his films (Like, we're not all in love with his adaptation of "Ready Player One," for instance, and "1941"...has its issues). But, when it comes to a reliable director who is going to deliver something worth watching almost every single time, you’d be hard pressed to find a more consistent director than Spielberg. That’s why we've seen every single one of his movies.
Except for one, that is, until recently. It was actually his second picture, "The Sugarland Express." Unlike his heavy hitters, you never really hear people talking about it. Not only that, but when we tried to rent it from Netflix’s DVD service (Remember that?), it never came. Thankfully, the movie is now streaming there, so we finally got to watch it, and hoo boy, is it ever good. So, here’s why we're happy that we finally got to check out Spielberg’s second movie.
