1993: STEVEN SPIELBERG

WHAT WE SAID THEN ''First he astounded the world with the brilliant thrill machine Jurassic Park.... Now, only seven months later, he has released another movie about reptilian brutality, but Schindler's List, an examination of the Nazi Holocaust, also carries within it an almost unbearably delicate observation of human pain.... Either film would have been a career-defining accomplishment for any director. That one person has brought forth both in one year is as unprecedented as it is unbelievable. And it is an achievement unlikely ever to be duplicated.'' —Tim Appelo
