Another nice Jewish boy from New York City who made it big:

Richard Donner, Director of ‘Superman,’ ‘The Goonies’ and ‘Lethal Weapon,’ Dies at 91

Director Richard Donner, known for helming the “Lethal Weapon” series, "The Goonies" and the original “Superman” film, has died. He was 91.

And to add to the synchronicity, when I saw a notice about that article, I had been watching another Superman film, "Superman Returns," in which director Bryan Singer tried to recreate the atmosphere of the original Donner production.
