One of the greatest directors of all time is back with an all-new movie, as movie fans can now watch The Fabelmans from Steven Spielberg. The director takes an introspective look at his formative years in this semi-autobiographical movie about an aspiring filmmaker and the family that helped shape him.

This is the second Spielberg movie that we got in a calendar year, as his remake of West Side Story came out in December 2021 (you can watch West Side Story right now on Disney Plus and HBO Max). Clearly, the 75-year-old director isn't slowing down yet.
