Decipher this blurred movie poster and you'll land on what Spielberg-directed crime drama about a precocious con artist and the FBI agent who's hunting him?

Based on Frank Abagnale, Jr.'s 1980 autobiography, Catch Me if You Can was a loooong time in the making. The first pitch was in 1981; that same year, it was announced that Dustin Hoffman would play the lead. Sixteen years and many directors/producers/writers/stars/studios later, Spielberg's Dreamworks acquired the film rights. Over the next four years, five more directors came and went: David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, Lasse Hallström, Miloš Forman, and Cameron Crowe. Finally, Spielberg announced in 2001 he would just do it himself.
