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.)
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey / Oh, since I set my eyes on you. / I tell you the truth. I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...
