For a director that is still creating memorable gems, it is even more impressive to look back 30 years to 1993 when Steven Spielberg released two iconic films earning 10 Academy Awards! Jurassic Park wasn't his first fantastical adventure, but it sure did change the way we look at dinosaurs. Nick and Sophia marvel at its connection to The Exorcist, the fun it has with mixing genres, and all of the film's innovations before talking about his Best Picture and Best Director winning film, Schindler's List (30:54). This film feels more essential with each passing year while its timeless beauty and lessons continue to blow away audiences. Listen for a character analysis, why this movie is also a technical feat, and alternate versions with other directors.
