E.T. Extra-Terrestrial

Dir: Some guy named Steve

1982

The birthday celebrations continue. Happy Birthday John Williams. His list of phenomenal scores is unparalleled in film history; and his E.T. is just one of his many Academy Award winning scores.

E.T. is one of the most innocent and touching films in cinema history. Loving this film is a confirmation of one's humanity. If and when extra-terrestrials visit our planet, I hope they meet children first. A beautiful , beautiful, beautiful film.

E.T. and 400 Blows in the same night; easily the greatest night of film I have had in years.
