For Spielberg, the school waived its requirement that all senior film majors must submit a completed 12-minute short film, accepting Schindler's List (1993) in its place. He donned cap and gown and marched in the commencement ceremony with his fellow graduates.

2001

Spielberg produced a series of films, including Evolution (2001), The Haunting (1999) and Shrek (2001).

In 2001, he produced a mini-series about World War Two that definitely *was* a financial and critical success: Band of Brothers (2001), a tale of an infantry company from its parachuting into France during the invasion to the Battle of the Bulge. Also in that year, Spielberg was back in the director's chair for A. I.

1998

As a producer, he was very active in the late 90s, responsible for such films as The Mask Of Zorro (1998), Men In Black (1997) and Deep Impact (1998). However, it was on the directing front that Spielberg was in top form.

The next year, however, produced what many believe was one of the best films of his career: Saving Private Ryan (1998), a film about World War Two that is spectacular in almost every respect.

It was stiffed at the Oscars, losing best picture to Shakespeare in Love (1998).

1997

He 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.

1993

In 1993, Spielberg directed Jurassic Park (1993), which for a short time held the record as the highest grossing movie of all time, but did not have the universal appeal of his previous efforts. Big box-office spectacles were not his only concern, though.

He produced and directed Schindler's List (1993), a stirring film about the Holocaust. He won best director at the Oscars, and also got Best Picture. In the mid-90s, he helped found the production company DreamWorks, which was responsible for many box-office successes.

he also produced two sequels to Jurassic Park (1993), which were financially but not particularly critical successes.

1990

Spielberg has also had an affinity for animation and has been a strong voice in animation in the 1990s.

Aside from producing the landmark "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", he produced the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures (1990), Animaniacs (1993), Pinky and the Brain (1995), Freakazoid! (1995), Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain (1998), Family Dog (1993) and Toonsylvania (1998).

He also produced the unusual comedy thriller Arachnophobia (1990), Back to the Future Part III (1990) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990). While these movies were big successes in their own right, they did not quite bring in the kind of box office or critical acclaim as previous efforts.

1989

The next year proved to be another big one for Spielberg, as he produced and directed Always (1989) as well as Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989), and Back To The Future II (1989). All three of the films were box-office and critical successes.

Spielberg also produced many Roger Rabbit short cartoons, and many Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs and Tiny Toons specials.

1986

He also produced the cartoon An American Tail (1986), a quaint little animated classic.

1985

His biggest effort as producer in 1985, however, was the blockbuster Back to the Future (1985), which made Michael J. Fox an instant superstar.

As director, Spielberg took on the book The Color Purple (1985), with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, with great success.

1984

In 1984, Spielberg followed up "Raiders" with Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom (1984), which was a commercial success but did not receive the critical acclaim of its predecessor.

1982

- The Extra Terrestrial (1982).

Spielberg produced and directed two films in 1982.

The first was Poltergeist (1982), but the highest-grossing movie of all time up to that point was the alien story E. T.

- The Extra Terrestrial (1982). Spielberg also helped pioneer the practice of product placement. The concept, while not uncommon, was still relatively low-key when Spielberg raised the practice to almost an art form with his famous (or infamous) placement of Reese's Pieces in "E. T. " Spielberg was also one of the pioneers of the big-grossing special-effects movies, like "E. T. " and "Close Encounters", where a very strong emphasis on special effects was placed for the first time on such a huge scale.

1981

Spielberg hit gold yet one more time with Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), with Harrison Ford taking the part of Indiana Jones.

1980

As a producer, Spielberg took on many projects in the 1980s, such as The Goonies (1985), and was the brains behind the little monsters in Gremlins (1984).

In the latter half of the 1980s, he also directed Empire of the Sun (1987), a mixed success for the occasionally erratic Spielberg. Success would not escape him for long, though.

The late 1980s found Spielberg's projects at the center of pop-culture yet again.

1978
