My 4th favorite film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 1998)

This heartwarming little film about an interplanetary friendship is, to this day, the only movie that really moves me to tears. Every shot is heartbreakingly uncynical as Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas and a then 6-year -old Drew Barrymore try to save a well-meaning little alien from government study. Absolutely sweet in every way. An unforgettable film.
