E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) - (Movies To See Before You Die - Science fiction)

I still remember the experience after watching “E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial”. It was a new feeling of contentment as I was not expecting such a movie . Only Steven Spilberg could have thought of making this blockbuster movie with his unique passion and sincerity. A Movie of its own kind, talking about the extra terrestrial from a completely different angle. I would like to congratulate, Steven Spilberg for even trying it and bringing this enlightening topic in front of the new generation. Spielberg's powerful and remarkable film about a boy and his unusual befriendment of an extra terrestrial. Possibly his finest film, E.T. captures a piece of childhood, and reminds the rest of us of a time long since past. It excites a story adults often forget, and a powerful remembrance of a childhood friendship during difficult periods of development. Adult criticism of the movie loses its youthful bond, and fails to appreciate growing up in the 80's. This is the pinnacle of Spielberg's childhood movies. Few other films capture as powerful a message of childhood emotion.Along with Peter Coyote, Dee Wallace keeps lingering in your mind long after the movie finishes.   A special mention for the music of maestro musician, John Williams. His melodious compositions are complimentary to the theme of the movie. Though some songs could be avoided in the narration, as it’s an intense film, but still you enjoy the selective notes being played along with the tense scenes in the background. Special Effects are also incorporated beautifully in the movie, in a symbolic way.Other films which attempt to do so dive so deep into childhood memories they lose their connection with adults, and degrade to brief interludes of "dumb" comic relief to keep grown ups from falling asleep.  Though the movie is criticized a lot for plagiarism in content but as I see it, it is a piece of art, simply not to be missed.   Directed BySteven  Spielberg  Starring :Peter Coyote ,Dee Wallace  &Henry  Thomas  Music ByJohn  Williams
