Steven Spielberg plans a film about his childhood: See his best movies so far

Steven Spielberg (born December 18, 1946) is a very productive director. He's also one of the most awarded and best-selling filmmakers of our time. Now that he is working on a new project inspired by his own childhood, let's see if you remember the other legendary movies from his hand.

One of the films with the most memorable soundtracks in history, 'Jaws' tells the story of a town's hunt for a bloodthirsty and enormous white shark. Nominated for Golden Globe and Oscar in Best Picture, and for a Golden Globe as Best Director.

This was not Steven Spielberg's first treatment of the extra-terrestrial subject (in fact, he made a movie about flying saucers in 1964, at age 17!) and it would certainly not be his last either. This film centers on the townspeople of Muncie, Indiana, who detect a UFO in their skyline. Spielberg was nominated for both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Director, and the movie got a Golden Globe nomination.

After this adventure of the archeology professor Indiana Jones followed 'The Temple of Doom' (1984), 'The Last Crusade' (1989), and, after a long pause, 'The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (2008). The first part of the saga earned Spielberg Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Director, and an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

The heartbreaking story of a lost, harmless alien who just wants to go home. Nominated for Best Film and Best Director at both the Oscars and Golden Globes' galas, with a win for the Globe in Best Film.

Based on the novel by Alice Walker, this Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated movie recounts the life story of an abused black woman in the American south. The director was nominated for a Golden Globe, and Whoopi Goldberg won the Golden Globe for Best Actress.

A young Christian Bale stars in this World War II movie based on the book by J.G. Ballard. Other big names in the cast are Ben Stiller, John Malkovich, and Miranda Richardson. Nominated for Best Motion Picture at the Golden Globes.

Reportedly, Spielberg himself finds this one of his worst movies, but for the cinema audience it was a blockbuster. The comedy version of Peter Pan's story features Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman as the Captain (nominated for a Golden Globe) and Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell.

Amazing, award-winning special effects made this a movie that defined the 1990s. It shows how DNA-cloning brings dinosaurs back to life in a cautionary story about science and nature.

This film got Steven Spielberg his first Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Director, as well as the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Picture. It's based on the true story of businessman Oscar Schindler who managed to save hundreds of Jewish employees of his enamel factory during the Holocaust (which is shown in all its brutal facets).

This movie also fits in the Spielberg tradition of tackling difficult historical episodes. 'Amistad' displays the revolt of captured Africans aboard a slave ship and their eventual arrival in the early United States. There, American judges (including former President John Quincy Adams, played by Anthony Hopkins) have to decide whether the escaped captives should be enslaved again or set free. Nominated for Best Picture and Director at the Golden Globes.

The opening scene (detailing the storming of the Normandy beaches on D-Day) is cinema history, and deservedly so. Spielberg won both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Director, and the war epos as a whole got an Oscar nomination.

Haley Joel Osment (also known for 'The Sixth Sense') plays a robot who longs to become human in a touching sci-fi movie, Spielberg-style. The director was nominated for a Golden Globe.

This memorable and entertaining movie is based on a true story about the chase of a legendary con artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) by an FBI agent (Tom Hanks).

Starring Tom Cruise, this film visits a future where the police can arrest a murderer before the crime is committed. Once again, it's a sci-fi story centering on questions of science and ethics.

Tom Hanks appears for the third time as a major protagonist in one of Spielberg's movies. He is Viktor Navorski, citizen of an unstable, Eastern European country who gets stuck on JFK airport after his national government collapses. The movie gives a critical perspective on present-day border and immigration policies.

Another movie based on real events, 'Munich' describes the deadly attack during the 1972 Olympic Games and the Israeli covert quest to avenge it. Spielberg earned Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Director and the movie itself was nominated for an Oscar as well.

Tom Cruise is the hero in this remake of the 1953 film, the 1938 radio play, and the original book by H.G Wells. As a curious fact, there were three 'War of the Worlds' movies in 2005, but only this one made it into cinemas.

This historic drama takes place in the First World War, which was a first for Spielberg after a range of Second World War dramas. The image shows Albert, played by Jeremy Irvine, who trains the horse Joey before it begins to serve the British Army on the battlefields. The movie was nominated for an Oscar.

Spielberg directed and co-produced this animated film which interested him because he was an admirer of the comic's creator, Hergé. 'The Adventures of Tintin' won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film.

Here's some of the best animated movies that were not made by Disney

Daniel Day-Lewis gives an amazing impression of the American president Abraham Lincoln in this historical drama about one of the United States' darkest episodes. Understandably, he was awarded with both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. Spielberg, meanwhile, got Oscar and Globe nominations as the director, while the film as a whole was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

In this Cold War drama, Tom Hanks returns as the protagonist. 'Bridge of Spies' got an Oscar nomination for Best Film while Mark Rylance took the statuette home for Best Supporting Actor.

The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) by author Roald Dahl is turned into a colorful live action movie under Steven Spielberg's direction. Its screenplay is by the late Melissa Mathison, who'd also written 'E.T.'

'The Post' is a star-packed drama with Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Sarah Paulson that earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Director. It recounts the events that led to the publication of the Pentagon Papers, which documented the U.S. government's lack of direction and faith in the Vietnam War. 'The Post' refers to the paper that dared publish the documents in 1971: the Washington Post.

One of the major sci-fi movies of the year, 'Ready Player One' takes place in a world of virtual reality. After its creator dies, the players in that virtual space try to find a valuable Easter Egg that could give them the ultimate say in the realm. For the third time, after 'Bridge of Spies' and 'The BFG,' Oscar-winner Mark Rylance plays a major part in a Spielberg movie.

These were the Best Pictures in the entire history of the Oscars
