E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial

The Wizard of Oz (Two-Disc Special Edition) When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while...	Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) Anybody who has written him off because of his string of stinkers--or anybody who's too young to remember The Goodbye Girl--may be shocked at the accomplishment and nuance of Richard Dreyfuss's performance in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Here, he plays a man possessed; con...	The Goonies Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 01/08/2008 Rating: Pg	Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition) In the vastly overrated 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, author Peter Biskind puts the blame for Hollywood's blockbuster mentality at least partially on Steven Spielberg's box-office success with this adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestselling novel. But you can't blame Spiel...	Gremlins Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature th...

Fox Lea Thompson Rating: Pg Director: Robert Zemeckis	Forrest Gump (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title ch...	Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition) Steven Spielberg's 1993 mega-hit rivals Jaws as the most intense and frightening film he'd ever made prior to Schindler's List, but it was also among his weakest stories. Based on Michael Crichton's novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film work...	Home Alone Now and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to ...	Mary Poppins (40th Anniversary Edition) There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

E.T. is one of the best family movies I've ever seen that ALSO has a bit of a scary horror vibe. You know, when aliens supposedly make a crash landing in a farmers barn in the middle of the night, and the farmer hears this and runs outside slowly with a shotgun ready to unload. That sort of happens here, except, instead of an insane farmer, it's a little boy with an older brother and younger sister. I liked how the kids kept the alien hidden from their mother. There were some close calls though, where the mother was only one step away from finding out about the alien, but for most of the movie, E.T. was kept hidden by the kids. The movie has good acting and really holds up well as far as family storylines go. Also the film doesn't look old for 1982 either- the picture quality is surprisingly pretty good. One thing I think people forget to mention about E.T. is how well done the storyline is- it actually involves people feeling emotion towards aliens and open-minded about outerspace, and the alien slowly develops the same kind of feelings for humans. Very nice touch.

ET-The Extra-terrestrial
This is one of the all time great movies for young and old. Speilberg touches on every human emotion in this film. Should have beat Ghandi, hands down, for Best Picture Oscar that year. It still amazes me that it didn't win because of Hollywood politics. It's the most delightful movie. Make you laugh through your tears.

My children thoroughly enjoyed this movie when it was first released in the local movie houses many years ago. Now their children are enjoying it on the tv screen in the home of Nana & Poppa.It is played over and over. A classic that is enjoyed by all generations. No one will be sorry if they purchase this item.
