Steven Spielberg

Oh, that's a great question.

When I was 11 years old, what was my favorite film?

My goodness.

Probably when I was 11, I would have to say my favorite film was something that you've never seen.

It was called Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier with Fess Parker and Buddy Epson.

And it was the first cultural phenomenon of a motion picture that appealed to kids.

There have been a lot of cultural phenomenons that appeal to adults like Gone with the Wind prior to that.

But when I was 11 years old, that was the bomb.

That was the movie that we were reenacting in our backyards.

That was a film that they started selling merchandise, coon skin caps and powder honed and plastic models of his rifle, Old Betsy.

That was, for me, the first Star Wars of films that really reached my 11-year-old neighborhood.

I just try to tell a story as effectively as I know how to do.

I've not really settled on one genre in my career.

Science fiction, perhaps, is the most consistent genre.

of all the films I've directed.

Well, I'm devoted to Stephen King's work.

I know Stephen.

Stephen knows me.

We've done some things together throughout our careers.

I'm an eternal admirer of his.
