E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

A stunning achievement that has intrigued children and adults for over a quarter of a century and never grows old.

I know people who really dislike this movie, and they are always people who never had a pet dog when they were children. After all, what is ET but a highly evolved pet dog to Elliot, and probably (subliminally) to most of the audience, as well.

There have been only two or three times I've sat in a theatre and listened to everyone, men, women and children, just bawling their eyes out over what was happening on the screen.

The first was the conclusion of Chaplin's City Lights, the second was the final scene in The Plague Dogs as Rowf and Snitter are swimming to the island, and ET and Elliot at the space ship.

"Come," "Stay." may be the two most tragic words ever spoken in a moving picture. If you can get through that scene without breaking down, you are made of some really hard bark.
