Call me when a director can make you care enough about their movie so that 30 years later you still wonder who the hell "Rose Bud" is, or your so into characters that you cry when old yeller gets plugged, or you feel real fear for your character when Darth Vader starts blasting his buddies left right and center and he's next.

Spielberg and Lucas are credited with inventing the concept of the "summer blockbuster" with Jaws and Star Wars, respectively. The difference between those movies and modern crap like Transformers and Terminator 4 is that those were genuinely good films that have withstood the test of time. Thirty years from now, nobody is going to care about Transformers 2, but Jaws and Star Wars are still cited as being among the greatest films ever made.
