The Post is Steven Spielberg's best work since Catch Me If You Can. Not only is it his best, but it is his most enjoyable too. BFG was bland, Bridge of Spies underwhelmed me, Lincoln and Warhorse were good but forgettable, Tin Tin was fun but also forgettable. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Mucich have their merits as does War of the Worlds and the Terminal but the only film of his that really stuck with my quite a bit was Catch Me If You Can. With the Post, he has a fantastic cast with a sharp script and the film looks amazing, the direction, sound, cinematography is all top notch. WHat could have been a bland political thriller became a story of rebels & underdogs. The film had a standing ovation and rightfully so. As soon as watergate is mentioned, it almost felt like a stinger for a cinematic universe, of course it isn't but the way it played out, totally felt like one, it was great!
