E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial stars Henry Thomas as a young boy who befriends an alien stranded on Earth. With its groundbreaking special effects,
Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum in one of the most thrilling adventures ever put on film as dinosaurs come to life.

Saving Private Ryan, courtesy of Paramount Pictures, features Tom Hanks and Matt Damon in a groundbreaking portrayal of the D-Day invasion. Finally, Spielberg's chilling adaptation of a classic story,

My Thoughts Universal Studios, in conjunction with Paramount Home Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have combined forces to bring us
STEVEN SPIELBERG: THE SPOTLIGHT COLLECTION. I’ve reviewed each of these films previously on UHD and while this set features spiffy Steelbook packaging, the contents of the discs remain the same. Here are links to each review:

Special Features:- See review links above
- Steelbook Packaging
Conclusion If you already own these movies on UHD, there’s little reason to purchase again unless you want the Steelbook packaging and have them housed in a beautiful and well-built case. I’ll proudly display this in my collection and each of the films is outstanding (although the big miss on the
War of the Worlds soundtrack is still bothersome for filtering out the sub-30Hz content). Regardless, the collection will certainly please fans and it wouldn’t shock me if this sold out in stores and went up in value over time.
