E.T.

E.T. is incredible, a story of love, friendship, humor, and supernatural forces..a tale of an ordinary boy having an extraordinary experience.

I saw this movie when I was six years old and my father had died. I connected very strongly to the characters, their dynamics and relationships, the humor…everything felt like it did at the time! Elliott played by Henry Thomas was absolutely astonishing…just the most amazing performance. It felt so real to me, the backdrop of the family drama with E.T. who brought adventure, mystery, excitement, friendship, and love all together. I loved this movie for portraying Elliot as a grown-up in many ways. I can’t ever watch this movie without crying. It’s a good cry though. It makes you feel alive.
