Groucho,
I only listed his "recent films", it's been a decade or so since he ventured into Gangster films, yet he is conveniently bracketed. Based on true story, biopic, etc-lam velaikku agaadhu. He has transgressed different genres (not 'all' as I put it in reflex, I'll give you that much), and has redefined himself time and again.
The man is born to make gangster films. Original, raw, intense and disturbingly violent, there has never been a director like him before in the US.
Like it or not
I like it. But his best films are Raging bull, and Taxi Driver.
It's anything but cute I say. I liked it, and I also loved the dark comedy, "King of Comedy". "Last temptation" is resoundingly decent.
Spielberg has definitely shown versatility, yes. In the process of being called overrated over the years, is well and truly underrated.
...an artist without an art.
