Every Generation needs to see E.T.

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2005)

E.T. is truly one of the best movies in history. It needs to be viewed by each generation or it gets lost in the clutter of modern animated features and other movies of lesser quality but greatly promoted. E.T. was truly a family adventure film with strong lessons but not sermonic. But while the story was excellent, it was the quality of the film and its ability to mix special effects so well, we truly believed E.T. was here with us. Even today, with special effects having grown with "leaps and bounds" a viewing of E.T. holds up and does not present with a "old timey" movie look. Like I said, every generation of children should see this movie in the theater as my children did when it first came out.
