Topic Challenge: Steven Spielberg and his films [completed]

Question

Last week saw the 40th anniversary of the release of Jaws, the movie that marked Steven Spielberg's breakthrough onto the blockbuster olympus. This might be a good chance to give his large body of work a thorough retrospective and ask some engaging questions about his various movies. So due to popular demand we're starting a new biweekly topic challenge from 2015-06-22 00:00 UTC to 2015-07-05 23:00 UTC asking for any kind of question about Steven Spielberg and the films directed by him.¹

Once the challenge is over, we'll tally the results and winners (by question votes) here. Also don't forget to suggest and vote for new topics for our next possible challenge.
