Wow. Thank goodness Spielberg believes this. I'm a 19 year old film student, and when I was telling my fellow classmates why I thought it was important to study the classics, they laughed at me and told me I was crazy. I thought I might have been wrong until I saw this. Thank you Spielberg.

It's good to see how humble he is about filmmaking despite the enormous success he has personally experienced.
