How does one properly assess Steven Spielberg's contribution to the movies? From television and film wunderkind in the seventies to supreme adventurer and fantasist in the eighties, Spielberg has proved his genius for transporting his audience into the heart of his stories. More recently his films have addressed more painful and adult subjects but in no less a compelling manner. He is, quite simply, the most successful film-maker of all time.
