I always liked Spielberg's films, but not sure prestigious Universities should be giving honorary degrees to members of the entertainment industry. The degrees should be a way to honor deep intellectuals, not a shallow means of making the school look cool because it can get some big names to come to graduation. Frankly, I lose a lot of respect for BU when they're giving honorary degrees to a guy who made JAWS and ET. Great entertainment? Sure. Products of a deep intellectual? Absolutely not. BU is selling out.
