    E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Movie Review

    by Asianfreak

    100 out of 100 Other than Lion King, this movie is absolutely fantastic. It's never gets old and the beloved alien sent messages and that's why it became a major Hollywood Oscar winner. Watch it over and over and over again and again.

    This was such a nostalgic movie for me because I saw it in the theatre when I was 12 and I was able to share it with my 6 year old daughter. For her to experience it on the big screen was a thrill.

    Classic for a reason

    by redyeah

    Speilburg's best alien film is the one with the best acting perfomances. For a young boy to share almost the entire film with an alien puppet is a great task. But this film took that and made something to be cherished. This movie is amazing and always will be to me. Such character development and story telling is rarely this well done. And unfortunately, movies are not made to this caliber as much. Classic film from a classic film personality.
