    E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (or simply E.T.) is a 1982 American science fiction film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison. It tells the story of Elliott, a boy who befriends an extraterrestrial, dubbed E.T., who is left behind on Earth. Along with his friends and family, Elliott must find a way to help E.T. find his way home. The film stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore.
    Principal photography began in neighborhoods in Los Angeles County and in the San Fernando Valley on September 8, 1981. The project was filmed under the cover name A Boy's Life, as Spielberg did not want anyone to discover and plagiarize the plot. The actors had to read the script behind closed doors, and everyone on set had to wear an ID card. The shoot began with two days at Culver City High School, and the crew spent the next 11 days moving between locations at Northridge and Tujunga. The next 42 days were spent at Laird International Studios in Culver City for the interiors of Elliott's home. The crew shot at a redwood forest near Crescent City in Northern California for the production's last six days. The exterior Halloween scene and the "flying bicycle" chase scenes were filmed in Porter Ranch.

Seems like it was a TV movie... started watching it... and a lot was filmed in Long Beach, Shoreline Village. A couple of the locations are listed on IMDB.. I found a couple while watching, so not a lot of locations, and some I couldnt pin point.. The hospital was hard to match up, but I think I lined it up

    as someone who grew up in granada hills since the 90s, ET was always sort of a claim to fame when it came to showing off my neighborhood to my friends. but i only really knew about the flying scene on white oak. i did not realize how much of the film was shot out here. all those streets are so familiar to me and seeing some of these homes being built is a real nostalgic. thanks for this. i always like seeing the history of my neighborhood/city.

    Excellent job matching up the shots! I lived in Porter Ranch from 1965 (when it was brand new) until 1977 at 11253 Garden Grove Ave. just south of Rinaldi St. and east of Reseda Blvd. From 11:09-11:12, the tall mountain in the background is Mission Peak. from 14:58-15:03, again Mission Peak is seen in the background. I would hike up there frequently as a kid. We would call it the three trees, because there were three large trees a little below the peak. In the rainy season there would be a pond there, and my friend and I would bring wood up there to build a little raft to go on the pond. The elevation of Mission Peak is 2,771 feet. Your Vlog stoked a lot of great childhood memories, of growing up, and hiking there, thanks!!

      I hike to the top of Mission Peak just about every Saturday and Sunday! Born and raised in Granada Hills/Northridge area. And yes, we always called it three trees as well, for the three oak trees that stand alone up there just below the peak. They are still there. That mountain isn't the biggest but it's no joke if you go at a decent pace. It got me ready for when I hiked Mt Whitney the past two years now, though several months before the big Whitney hike, I DID do much larger hikes/mountains in the area.

      @@PeterGenovese So access is till open to go up there. Oat Mtn. is the highest peak in the range at about 3640 elevation. Once in the 70's with some friends we tried hiking up to the snow. the getty people saw us, and promptly escorted us back down in the bed of one of their pick up trucks, and dropped us off at their entrance at Tampa and Sesnon.
      In the mid 60's when I was 8 years old, I saw hundreds of sheep grazing in the hills, just north of Rinaldi, and east of Reseda Blvd. Reseda was a dead end, north of Rinaldi, then in late 1973 it was opened up to Sesnon. The sheepherder was a basque man that lived in a trailer in one of the hollows of the hills. On one occasion, he invited me to have lunch with him in his trailer. I packed a lunch, hiked up to his trailer and we had lunch in his trailer. he showed me how the austrailian sheperd dogs rounded up the sheep. In his trailer on a shelf he had a rattle from a rattle snake that he had to kill, and rattled it for me, it must have been a big snake that he killed. the guy was totally cool, and i had a great time visiting with him.

    ET's house was at the top of the Seven Hills Development in Tujunga. In September 2009, the Station Fire burned right to the back of ET's house. Firefighters saved the house, probably unaware of its film history. I recognized Porter Ranch locations when the movie first came out as I went to high school in the area on Rinaldi (Alemany... the old school pre earthquake). It's about 15+ miles West of the ET house. My son was born in the 1980's and he played the ET tape 100+ times as a toddler because it was his favorite movie.

My favourite parts were seeing the same trees and the kids play park, astounding. AND imagine living in the ET house, IMAGINE!

    Pretty cool.
    I actually grew up in that neighborhood when the movie was made.
    The movie was actually a pretty good representation of how the old neighborhood was.

    Great job,Kurt! I saw E.T in the theater but I was only 2 and I cried during it.I also smoked a blunt with friends on the hill in Porter Ridge Park 22 years ago 😂

      Haha. Yeah I had friends that did that back in the day. That was the park to hang at. Thank you!!

    Great job, Kurt! Thanks for the video---brings back many fond memories!
    Fun fact: Steven Spielberg bought the E.T. house and the two houses on either side of it for the shoot at this location, which lasted several months, in order to avoid chaos with the neighbors. You can access the E.T. house by driving up Seven Hills Drive in Tujunga.
    In Jurassic Park 3 a scene was lifted from E.T. and spliced in where the dinosaurs escape during the auction scene and the reptile is seen looking through the trees down over the city of Sunland/Tujunga and the distant East San Fernando Valley further away (and lower in elevation) from the CGI mansion.
    Another fun fact: Sunland/Tujunga is the most famous little town(s) in the world that nobody has ever heard of due to thousands of movies and television shows filmed here since the 1920s because of its close proximity to Los Angeles---even the original Tarzan movies were shot here (in Sunland) as was Sons of Anarchy, CSI, and many more.
    On my street alone, on just one block, over twenty movies/television shows have been filmed over a ten-year period! I do love this old town's venerable oak trees and their mighty branches reaching together over the streets.

    The pine trees at the park got HUGE!
    The trees are always one of the coolest things in the before, and after videos.

    I think ET knocked over your camera at the end. LOL. Great job in capturing the locations of this iconic film. A lot of development has happened since filming. Thanks for all your hard work.

    One of the movies I absolutely adored from the 1980s! I've watched it countless times and I never grow weary of watching it repeatedly. Thank you for showcasing it on your channel. I'm really hoping to see the film location of Top Gun featured as well because as a fan of 80s films and being from Asia, I would really appreciate it.

    I've gone out to Porter Ranch to see the ET house and the park, but now I know where the famous intersection is where they fly to escape the government agents.
    I was glad to see that the caterpillar in the park has stayed the same, just been given a paint job. It was surreal being where one of my favorite childhood movies was filmed.
