I used to have the DVD set of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where Spielberg discusses the movie while he's apparently on the set of Saving Private Ryan or some other war flick.

I thought that it was really sweet that Spielberg mentioned that he is uncomfortable with this movie now and with the concept of a man leaving his family to go off with space aliens, because, now that he has a family of his own, he cannot fathom the idea of leaving them.

(Whereas, I myself am still a grumpy unmarried 45 year-old who would cheerfully welcome the idea of space aliens transporting me far far away from this lame planet. Please, for the love of God, take me away from this place.)
