Steven Spielberg's 1982 hit about a stranded alien and his loving relationship with a fatherless boy (Henry Thomas) struck a chord with audiences everywhere, and it furthered Spielberg's reputation as a director of equally strong commercial sensibilities and classical leanings. Henry Thomas gives a strong, emotional performance as E.T.'s young friend, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore make a solid impression as his siblings, and Dee Wallace is lively as the kids' mother. The special effects almost look a bit quaint now with all the computer advancements that have occurred since, but they also have more heart behind them than a lot of what we see today. --Tom Keogh

I had a Big thought on the Type of Alien that E.T. represents in this Movie finally?He's a Frog Alien!There is a Connection in the Film to the Scene where Elliot is in Science Middle-school Class, and He is about to be asked to discect the Frog!

The new CGI ET is not as realistic as the original
ET found on the VHS edition. This new ET looks
like a 'computer generated image'. Whereas the
original ET looked like a real puppet. This is
important because there is a scene where ET hides
amongst puppets.So, get the original theatrical
version, if you can.
