One of the greatest movies back in theaters and still good after all these years

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2002)

E.T. is back and better than ever. This is one of the few movies I own that I always wondered how it would be like to see it in theaters. Well I finally got my chance and WOW. I own the original on video and loved it as a kid and still love it now (by the way I'm 15 years old). Spielberg, one of the greatest directors of all time took a big risk in a making a family movie about a boy and an alien. If this movie were made today, it would most likely flop because no one would think it would look interesting. Spielberg knows how to make a movie. He put all the great elements in a great movie: Drama, comedy, tearjerkering. If there any aspiring directors (ahem Peter Jackson) I would suggest you watch at least three of Spielberg's classic movies like E.T., Schindler's List, or any of the Indiana Jones films.
