Empire of the Sun (1987). A young English boy struggles to survive under Japanese occupation of China during World War II.
Not my favourite Spielberg, nor my favourite kid-encounters-horrors-of-WWII-movie released in 1987 (Au Revoir les Enfants takes the cake, but I think Hope and Glory had a more interesting approach too), but still a solid effort. The performances are top notch across the board, and the cinematography is sublime, but there are definitely tonal issues overall that make it pretty patchy. I can't believe how young Christian Bale is in this! 7/10.

Things I Need Steven Spielberg to direct specifically for me (but he won't :()
Gypsy-If they were to give that a third go he could bring a lot (I think the '62 version is fine it just lacks oomph, and the made for TV one is great but imagine the level of flair yet more grounded in spots he could give it--the WSS treatment!)
Ragtime-right up his alley but same problem as above :(
A western-he's already said he's thinking about it
A western/sci-fi or steampunk adventure like some kind Jules Verne adaptation
I bet he'd really kill a Fahrenheit 451 adaptation
Tony Kurshner's movie about Edgardo Mortara
Chocky if he still wants to (though maybe he fulfilled his original wants of this through E.T)
Um...once Stephen Schwartz creates his Picasso musical he can do the movie adaptation lol
Same with The Queen of Versailles
(I know he said he's not directing anymore musicals but a gal can dream)

Okay, since the Spielberg post blew up, I need to clear up something because I can see in the notes that pple think that Spielberg owns the rights to MLK speeches and I don't want to spread any misinformation. This is what the Vice article says:
In 2009, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks company paid the estate for film rights to King's words, along with his life rights, which allow a person or company to make content based on an individual's story. DreamWorks has yet to produce or direct Spielberg's planned King biopic, but the rights have caused complications for numerous filmmakers. (Neither Spielberg's literary agent nor King's estate returned Broadly's request for comment.)
This means that while the MLK estate still owns the original copyright for the speeches, Spielberg actually bought and now owns the film rights to MLK's speeches. However, this doesn't erase how problematic it it is since this means that Spielberg is the only filmmaker legally allowed to use MLK's speeches word for word in his films. A White filmmaker is essentially holding onto the film rights, at the expense of Black filmmakers. The article talks about how Ava Duvernay had to write original speeches from scratch for Selma.
King has received only one major biopic, 2014's Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay [...] Instead of using King's speeches, DuVernay wrote original monologues that sounded like soliloquies the civil rights leader could have given. [...] When asked about the changes in 2014, DuVernay told the Washington Post, "We knew those rights are already gone. They're with Spielberg."
The article also mentioned that Spielberg bought life rights and according to this Forbes article, this means that Spielberg also bought the rights to MLK's life.
By paying the Estate for the film rights to Dr. King's speeches along with life rights, Spielberg obtained unprecedented filmmaking access to Dr. King’s life — supported by Dr. King’s extraordinary intellectual property (the right to use Dr. King’s actual words.)
Hope this clarifies everything!

Classic Films Steven Spielberg Almost Directed, From Oldboy to Harry Potter
Classic Films Steven Spielberg Almost Directed, From Oldboy to Harry Potter
Does any director have a better filmography than Steven Spielberg? It’s all a matter of opinion, but when you see a list that includes Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and Catch Me If You Can — and you’re not even a quarter of the way through — it becomes hard to argue otherwise. In his 50-plus years in the industry, Spielberg has left a…

The Color Purple (1985). A black Southern woman struggles to find her identity after suffering abuse from her father and others over four decades.
As much as I do love Steven Spielberg, it's pretty hard to deny that he was the wrong person to direct this adaptation. Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey and Margaret Avery deliver tremendous, showstopping performances, but Spielberg can't quite find his way into the story which - - y'know! Makes sense! He's a Jewish, male director adapting a story that so distinctively and empathetically belongs to Black women, and he's adapting it in the 80s! 
In that sense, Spielberg probably does the best job he possibly could've - there is still a lot to like here, from the performances to the stunning cinematography, to some scenes that are equal parts hopeful and harrowing, but Spielberg just can never quite get out of his own way, Still, it's worth the watch, especially for Whoopi who I've often liked as an actress, but genuinely floored me here. 7/10.

Anomalous Item #4742: A set of 173 VHS tapes with blank labels.
When a tape label is filled out (there are provided fields for title, director, and year) and then placed into any functioning VCR, the film listed will play, regardless of if it existed before the tape was played.
This was first believed to be an effect limited to the tapes, ie, the tapes were somehow generating the movie themselves through some method similar to AI art generation, but after initial tests were performed the paratime division discovered the effect is actually antichronological: when played, the tapes don't simply create the movie named, they alter the past so that the movie mentioned was created.
Thus, after a tape is labeled and played, it can be found on streaming services and in DVD rental stores. The directors, if still alive, will recall making the film, and actors who were active at the time the film was "made" will have anecdotes about events that happened in the film.
This can have ripple effects as well; during the 9th test, the film Big Trouble in Little China, 1986, directed by John Carpenter, was created. Besides the immediate effects of creating a new film that hadn't existed, an indirect effect was that the film Alien 2, 1985, John Carpenter, ceased to exist. Instead, the sequel to the 1979 film Alien (directed by Ridley Scott) was titled Aliens and directed by James Cameron. It's believed that by adding a new movie to the timeline of John Carpenter's direction, he no longer had time to direct one of the works he had directed in the original timeline, as he would have been busy directing the newly-added film, and directing roles therefore passed to another director.
Use of the tapes can also implicitly affect the lifespan of directors. In test #17, Researcher J. Calhoun attempted to generate a film that couldn't possibly exist: a prequel to a film made by a director who had died decades beforehand.
According to paratime research, the writing of "Star Wars: Episode 1, 1999, George Lucas" on the tape and the subsequent viewing undid the 1981 death of Mr. Lucas, causing Star Wars: Episode 6: Revenge of the Jedi to come out in 1983 instead of 1985, be titled "Return of the Jedi" instead, and it would be directed by George Lucas instead of Steven Spielberg.
This obviously had additional effects as it didn't merely extend the lifespan of George Lucas by an additional 18 years: at time of writing in 2022, he is still alive at the age of 78. It's therefore believed that the object doesn't unnaturally extend the lifespan of the director, it instead reshapes the flow of time so that any events that would stop them from filming the listed movie do not happen.
After discovery of their history altering nature, the remaining anomalous objects have been locked in secure storage at site #22. No further testing is authorized, and emergency use requires level #6 authorization, which will only be granted in the face of imminent disaster requiring paratime remedies.
Article update[2022-11-20]: an incident occurred where it was discovered that former researcher K. Synnol had acquired one of the tapes (see investigation document 2483 for details) and was attempting to use it for history modification, without approval. The paratime division detected the impending history alteration and an assault team was dispatched. Synnol was apprehended before they could complete the use of the tape, however the label WAS filled out but the tape remained unwatched. What effects, if any, the partial use of the anomalous artifact would have on the timeline is unknown, but in previous testing the film only came into being when the labeled tape was placed into a VCR and watched.
See photo attachment #2, below, for artifact 1B, recovered after the Synnol event.
