 E T - The Extra Terrestrial- Directed by Steven Spielberg- 1983 - The film stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore

Available on Amazon Prime Video 

1983 Academy Award for Best Original Sound and Best Visual Effects

Wikipedia has a comprehensive article on the film.  I will just post a bit on my reactions.

I really enjoyed the movie.  The relationship of the young boy Elliott and the Alien, who he calls E T was very gratifying. The panic created among government law enforcement and military was such a contrast.  How E T comes to find a way to use 1983 technology to contact his home planet was wonderful.


Any body with some imagination and a heart will love the ending.
