I'll agree that I was unfair, and I did consider some of the films you mentioned above (The Color Purple and Schindler's List) when I wrote the over-generalization. Now that I've had more time to consider I think I'd say: Spielberg: This guy prefers to tell a story with technology (or over-tell it as I think many of his movies focus on SFX rather than characters. What three scenes do you remember from Jaws, Close Encounters, Schindler's List (a very good and ballanced directoral effort). Sorry for the over-generalization. Rodney Fuller
