Painted people, disembodied voices, a white girl not painted because making an interracial story look interracial might be bad for business.

Still... 6. Cool is iconic (probably more thanks to Michael Jackson and Martin Scorsese than this, but whatever) the staging is immense, and America is one of the best things in movies. In that department at least, Spielberg's didn't come close.
