E.T. is a stuuupid movie........
Gray_Area:
I don't recall seeing this since perhaps it being on cable in the early to mid 80s. I saw it as a kid in the theatre. Back when I obviously didn't know ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. The acting was still superb, though. And Gerty is as cute as ever.
Of course, the music is the mutated child of Superman (you know Williams did Superman), Empire Strikes Back, and Indiana Jones. ('78, '80, '81.)
hypernova:
I didn't like it as a kid, and I have even more disdain for it now.
Gray_Area:
I, like pretty much everyone else, was totally sucked in and moved by it as a kid. I even cried when E.T. died. It's an okay story idea. The writing was really bad.
ChadTower:
I'm pretty sure I read a few years ago that it was originally going to be a horror or thriller. It came off awkwardly when they adapted the movie on the fly to a childhood adventure movie. You can see all of the standard horror pieces in it like that whole "what is that noise? It's outside... by the shed... let's send one kid out there alone to check it out..." sequence.
The Universal Studios E.T. ride in Florida is dated in tech but still really, really cool. I'd hang out in that building all day if they'd let me.

My 8 year old (girl) just found this movie about 6 months ago and can't get enough of it. Being a huge 80's BMX guy, there's some interesting history regarding the Kuwahara's and some of the riders lurking under those costumes, so I don't mind. Overall, much better than some of the crap Sci-Fi stuff that came out back then.
