You don't have to be a kid to love this movie...

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2002)

Considering the movie came out back in 1982, when I was two, my mother told me that she went and saw it at the theatre with me. Now, 20 years later, I had gotten the chance to take my two year old daughter (nearly three) to go and see it, but I missed out on the chance. I loved the movie when I was a kid and having had my daughter see on it video, she loved it too. I thought the 20th anniversary edition was really cool. It was good seeing a movie with new scenes after seeing the same 1 hour and 45 minutes of regular footage for 15 years. I remember when E.T. first came out on video tape back in I believe, 1988. I was so excited to get this movie that I bugged my mom and dad until they caved and bought it for me. This was also back in the day when VHS tapes costed almost as much as DVD's! (about $24.95) So seeing the movie brought forth to a whole new generation of kids was a really cool experience. This is a movie I plan on..... or rather Santa Claus will bring my daughter for Christmas. If you haven't see it yet (Where have you been?) then I suggest renting or buying it when it comes out on video this month.
