E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(From IMDB) E.T. is a 1982 science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Melissa Mathison and starring Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, Dee Wallace and Peter Coyote. It tells the story of Elliott (played by Thomas), a lonely boy who befriends a friendly alien, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help the alien return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government.
An extended version of the film released on March 22, 2002, included altered special effects. Certain shots of E.T. had bothered Spielberg since 1982, as he did not have enough time to make the animatronics fully work. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was used to modify several shots, including ones of E.T. running in the opening sequence and being spotted in the cornfield. Spielberg also used CGI to add elements to the spaceship.E.T. is a favorite classic in our home. My oldest daughter was born the year E.T. was originally released and she had a stuffed E.T. toy - I still have that toy stored away in the attic.

My old boyfriend was a youthful curmudgeon, if you can imagine such a thing, but cried when he saw this movie. So it always holds a soft spot for me, since it moved my boyfriend and uncorked a bottle of feelings for him.
