"80's Sci-Fi Classic!"

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2012)

Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore star in Steven Spielberg's 1982 sci-fi film. This starts with an alien who gets accidentally left on Earth in the woods. He's pursued by a group of government agents and scientists. He's soon found by a young boy, Elliot (Thomas) who befriends him naming him, E.T. (Extra Terrestrial) and hides him in his house. Elliot and E.T. start sharing the same feelings/emotions and soon, E.T. must get back to his home planet before he dies. Wallace (The Howling) plays Elliot's mom, Mary, Barrymore (Scream) plays Elliot's little sister, Gertie, MacNaughton plays their older brother, Michael and Coyote (Sphere) plays Keys, a scientist. This is definitely one of Spielberg's best with a good cast and terrific score by John Williams as usual. I recommend this 80's sci-fi classic.
