ET...Phone home...

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2008)

ET is a true classic and definitely one of the greatest family movie ever made. Scratch that, ET is the best family movie ever. ET is a kids movie yes but ET also brings the kid out the adults. It captures that piece of your childhood where times are dire and where special bonds develop in difficult times. A touching and heart warming film that will make you cry, it will make you laugh and if you're an adult, will bring you back to that nostalgic place where the most special of things happened to you for the first time.
What makes ET a more memorable piece of work is the astounding and epic scoring of John Williams. He knew where to put the symphony and then strikes if the mood is right. Add to that an almost flawless direction by Spielberg, and quite possibly one of the best movie he's ever done, ET is one memorable piece of work. You can't afford to miss this one.
