Laemmle. Despite All Quiet on the Western
Front 1930 being its most highly regarded

1970s and 1980s Universal emerged as one of
the industry's leaders with box-office hits
from the producer and director Steven
Spielberg such as ET: the Extra-Terrestrial
1982 and Back to the Future 1985. Universal
also made a cycle of classic horror movies
such as Dracula 1931, Frankenstein 1931, and
The Mummy 1932.
