  Steven Spielberg - Filmogs Profile
Spielberg was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946.
Spielberg directed and produced the epic, Amistad (1997), a spectacular film that was shorted at the Oscars and in release due to the fact that its release date was moved around so much in late 1997.
Spielberg is a great filmmaker without a doubt, and it does not seem he is anywhere near done making films, and with all of the money he has he probably could do anything he wanted to.

  War of the Worlds (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was directed by Steven Spielberg from a script by Josh Friedman and David Koepp and stars Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and Justin Chatwin.
Also, the plot device that the aliens had been to Earth before and left behind their tripods is similar to a revelation in the TV series in which a tripod (an "older model" of the war machines in the 1953 film) is unearthed, having been left behind for hundreds to thousands of years.
At the world premiere in Tokyo, Spielberg said, "Well, certainly the first tripod was taken down in Osaka, because Osaka has so much experience with Gamera and Godzilla." This explains why tripods appear from under earth after a million years of hibernation, why they are as tall as Godzilla, and why they roar.

 Steven Spielberg's Biography - by Alex Iosjpe: information, films, movies, biography, shoah, anne franc, moviemaking, ...
Spielberg's official big-screen debut, "The Suggarland Express" (1974), reworked the roadway dynamics in a narrative about a lower-class couple and their captor, a green state trooper, leading/fleeing from an ever-growing police caravan as they drive across Texas to reclaim the infant offspring the state has taken from them.
Spielberg went on to produce Twilight Zone--The Movie (1983), a tribute to one of the great TV shows of his youth; he also directed one of the four episodes, a fable of oldsters temporarily restored to their childhood selves.
Spielberg's version was criticized by some as a sort of R-rated Song of the South, but Walker and new star Whoopi Goldberg saluted him for "having the balls" to get the film made at all.

Spielberg and I had both had an interest in the story of Oskar Schindler since 1982.
For most people what we have known about Anne Frank's life came from her Diary entries written between the ages of 13 and 15, which of course stopped when she was arrested.
I had seen another Anne Frank film where a young Canadian girl had read passages from her diary and it ruined it for me. The one thing I didn't want to do was create Anne as a suburban girl from "anytown." I was adamant about having an adult voice.

Given the level of technology required for interstellar travel and the long star trek required to reach Earth, Spielberg figures aliens inevitably would come in peace.

 Anne Applebaum -- A Dearth of Feeling
Steven Spielberg, probably Hollywood's leading director (like it or not) has chosen to make films about Japanese concentration camps (Empire of the Sun) and Nazi concentration camps, but not about Stalinist concentration camps.
Of course this argument would be anathema to Simon Wiesenthal, to the Israelis who put Eichmann on trial in 1961, and even to British prosecutors, who have recently arrested an elderly Belorussian, Szymon Serafimowicz, under the British war crimes act, passed in 1991.
Even Steven Spielberg, when asked why he made Schindler's List, replied "I was afraid of the world my children were being raised in, that something like the Holocaust could happen to them." It is a sentiment that many, rightly, share.

 Spielberg sets “Anne Frank” telefilm
Los Angeles — Steven Spielberg has signed to executive produce a three-hour ABC telefilm based on the life of Anne Frank, the teenage icon of the Holocaust whose poignant diary has put a human face on the horrors of the Nazi era for millions of readers during the last 50 years.
While Frank's story of two years of hiding in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is well-known, the telefilm will explore her early childhood in Frankfurt, Germany, through her last days at the age of 15 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
ABC Executive VP Movies and Miniseries Susan Lyne noted that Spielberg was the ideal person to shepherd the telefilm, given his well-known commitment to documenting Holocaust stories.

 Poltergeist (1982)
Compared to both films, Poltergeist was the dark flip side for Diane and Steve Freeling (Williams and Nelson) in the Cuesta Verde housing development, with ordinary objects that turned threatening (for example, a suburban tract dream home, a backyard tree, a favorite doll, a closet, and a TV screen).
Diane cautions her daughter about over-feeding the goldfish - an opportunity to mention co-producer Spielberg's earlier film, Jaws (1975): "They grow up to be sharks!" Scared of the dark, Carol Anne wants the closet light left on.
[This scene was inspired by Spielberg's own childhood memories.] As the Freelings are diverted from the bedroom to go outside to rescue their son from the grasp of the tree, a menacing tornado similar to the one in The Wizard of Oz (1939) approaches.
