Few directors command as much respect from critics or awaken such reverence from audiences as Steven Spielberg. Perhaps the best director working in Hollywood today, Spielberg is a cinematic institution, a bona fide genius whose name has become synonymous with the seventh art itself. In a career spanning over sixty years, Spielberg has directed many of cinema's biggest masterpieces, from adventure classics like Raiders of the Lost Ark to harrowing war epics like Saving Private Ryan to deeply humanistic portrayals of artistic ambition like The Fabelmans. No director has mastered the delicate balance between artistry and commercialism as perfectly as Spielberg, whose Jaws set the blueprint that every summer blockbuster has followed since.
