Spielberg also has the screenplay credit for A.I.: Artificial Intelligence but I believe that is mostly a polite fiction.

I'd forgotten he wrote Poltergeist.

For anyone who wants a slightly different look at the behind-the-scenes stuff that happened while filming Close Encounters, read Julia Philips book 'You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again'. Ms. Philips was one of the producers on the film and pulls no punches when describing the chaos, diva-drama and egostraphes that occured during production. Good stuff.

Philips book is very good for the rest of the stuff in it too. So I'll second the recommendation.
