“Sometimes I wonder if I’ve changed so much, if my wife is even gonna recognize me…” So many amazing movies… In honor of the release of the 35th movie by maestro Steven Spielberg, enjoy this magnificent retrospective mashup taking us back through everything he’s made. In theaters now is Disclosure Day, the latest sci-fi creation from Spielberg’s mind. Created by Canadian movie lover Adam Kruspe, this recap was first posted on YouTube in late 2024 to celebrate 50 years of Spielberg – going back to The Sugarland Express (1974). Technically his first movie is Duel from 1971, but it’s listed later in 1982 for its theatrical debut. The video features iconic shots & quotes & unforgettable moments from all 34 of his movies (before this new one), with beautiful crossfades connecting scenes from different movies into one long, emotional look back at Spielberg’s cinema magic. I love almost EVERY single Spielberg movie, though not all of them of course, but each & every one is exceptional in its own unique way. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Spielberg is 79 years old and will celebrate his 80th this December. He still seems to be going strong, with plans to make even more movies after Disclosure Day. My faves: Hook, Jurassic Park, all 3 Indys, & Catch Me If You Can.
