Amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2008)

I discovered this movie in our VHS cabinet about a year ago, and I was excited because I heard all the hype and wanted to check it out. I started to get it out, and I put it in our VHS at around midnight. From that moment on, this movie has been one of my favorites of all time (It's even tied for my favorite movie of all time). The story talks about a alien who is stranded on earth, who then meets a young outcast, who he quickly befriends, and forms a special relationship with. I just have to say that a movie that can make cry, smile, cheer for joy, and rejoice all at the same time must be amazing ... especially when E.T. dies, and comes back to life. Also, the part where Elliot and E.T. go into the forest at night, and then they fly against the moon, is one of the greatest scenes in movie history. I mean, the part where they ride through, and then suddenly drop then fly away, gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it. And that scene will stay with me for the rest of my life. I just can't express my love for this film any other way: I love it so much, and it's just so beautiful. I can watch it over and over again, yet it keeps getting better. It's one of those films that just makes you wonder, and imagine. The direction is just so brilliant, and the story is so heartwarming and touching.
This movie gets a 10/10 ... It actually should get a 100/10. One of the greatest movies of our time.
I also, highly suggest you get this movie on the 2-Disc Collector's Edition. Because, all you can find in the stores today is the 2002 version.
