Considered to be one of the most respected film critics in the country, as evidenced by his work with Time magazine, Richard Schickel is widely known for writing, producing and directing a number of documentaries about Hollywood and its most important figures. As the producer of works such as "Woody Allen: A Life in Film" and "Scorsese on Scorsese", Schickel allows legendary filmmakers to explain their work. This time, Schickel has reunited with producer and director Steven Spielberg (welcome back from Mars if you haven't heard of him) for his most recent effort, "Spielberg on Spielberg", which premiered on Turner Classic Movies. The pair also collaborated on 2000's "Shooting War", a profile of World War II photographers. Already a living legend, the Oscar-winning director has chosen to share one of the most impressive American success stories: that of a young filmmaker who was brave enough to dare to dream and who would eventually give the world some of the most entertaining and successful movies, including "Jaws", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial", "Schindler's List", "Jurassic Park", and "Saving Private Ryan". In the past, Spielberg has chosen not to record audio commentary tracks for DVDs of his movies. This is the first time he talks about his films in any kind of detail. He speaks for 90 minutes about other directors and friends and about his well-known (and not so well-known) movies throughout his amazing career as one of the world's most celebrated and influential directors.

| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfIt's not totally uncut Spielberg, but it's a splendid look at a career that changed the industry, a filmmaker who never wastes a frame, and a collection of spellbinding movies that will outlive us all. |
| User ReviewBenjamin MHow can you beat giant fighting robots :) Love this movie. |
| User ReviewClaire BThis was a really great insight into an amazing man. I really thoroughly enjoyed watching this, Spielberg is mesmerising and his story is amazing. Great film. |
| User ReviewRussell GI'm a sucker for docs where people rattle on about their own films. This one was pretty good, with Spielberg coming off mostly honest. That said, no mention at all about "ALWAYS"... hmmmmmmm. |
| User ReviewWilliam WFacinating. Hearing the passion that Spielberg has for his own movies in his own words makes me wanna see them all over again. Watch and hear what was going through Spielbergs head as he takes a trip thoughout his own work. |
| User ReviewSamantha SVery interesting interview with Steven Speilberg, but he skips some of his films and overall the film is short. |
