Damn, sometimes one doesn't realize that these great authors are so old and will eventually die. As an actor, he was good, but although he is widely remembered by his landmark role in Jurassic Park, classic movie lovers will remember him more for The Great Escape.
However he was much better as director. Things like The Bridge Over River Kwai, and specially one of the best biopics ever made, if not the best, and a real masterpiece recently re-discovered by myself: Ghandi.
(Although I prefer Lawrence Of Arabia as a movie, it's anything but historically accurate, hence that I don't rate it too high in the "biopic" genre.)

Yeah, that was an intense movie. The cinematography, everything was the highest order. You just can't come close to movies like that anymore....um, unless you think Blackhawk Down was a [great] movie....then anything's permissible.......
