i was immediately bamboozled by how the little girl was drew barrymore. DREW BARRYMORE?! are you kidding. loved this.
Not happy
Omg girl i didn’t know it was Drew Barrymore I swear this movie made me cry multiple times especially the ending it hits my heart so much E.T will always and forever be in my heart and I’m so happy I grew up watching this movie and I’m glad you loved it as much as I do🥹❤️
And the girl Elliot kissed is future Playboy Playmate Erika Elaniak, who was also in Under Siege (booba) and The Beverly Hillbillies Movie.
I guess Drew was young enough to believe that ET was real, so Spielburg made some operate him any time he was around Drew to keep up the illusion. They were best friends. 🥺
Lol, I was about to post that it was drew.
One of Steven Spielberg's most iconic and heartfelt masterpieces and Drew Berrymore's first big role. Fun Fact: Reese's Pieces were about to be discontinued before agreeing to appear in the movie. And afterward, it became one of the best-selling candies ever. M&M was probably kicking themselves for not taking the deal.
Also, Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. They're just peanut butter in a candy shell.
E.T.'s species is sort of a psychic hive mind. They feed off their own psychic bond with each other. So when E.T. is left behind, he immediately starts to "starve". He "bonds" with both Elliot and the flowers so he can survive. But that doesn't last long cuz it's not a psychic bond with an entire race of beings...so E.T. starts getting sick pretty quick and Elliot & the flowers feel his disease. When E.T. is dying, he lets go of his psychic bond with Elliot so he doesn't die with him. Thankfully his people's spaceship is close enough to Earth that their energy revives E.T.
Wow! I have seen this movie so many times but never realized this! But you're right! cool!!
Little Drew was so young that she had trouble remembering that E.T. wasn't real sometimes. In the scene where he appears to die she wasn't acting.
There's a "family reunion" clip from her talk show where she had Henry Thomas (Elliott), Robert McNaughton (Michael) and Dee Wallace (Mary/Mom) on for the movie's 40th Anniversary which is worth a watch.
The puppeteer crew helped maintain that connection she had. They noticed she would talk to ET during filming breaks and so they agreed between themselves that at least one of them would be available to animate him even when the cameras weren't rolling.
"Keys guy" is painted as a villain until the end. It's easy to gloss over his lines during those hectic scenes, but his emotional arc is revealed; it's suggested he's caring, full of wonder, and reconnecting with his own emotional event and loss during his youth
Agreed. Keys was never a villian. He was always empathetic to Elliot.
Yep. Enthusiasm doesn't make you a villain.
E.T. is a Jedi Padawan from the Agricultural Corps of the Jedi Order. He can do all the Jedi stuff....mind control, levitate stuff and people, heal others....even recognizes Master Yoda and his species are in the Republic Senate.
Spoiler alert for anyone lucky enough to not have seen the cruddy prequels.
The guy with the keys is simply listed as "Keys" in the credits - his name is never revealed and the constant shots or sound of his keys distinguishes his presence.
There was also a novelisation of the movie, which explained that while E.T. did die, his people sent a healing spark right into his heart which revived him, which E.T. recognised as meaning they were on their way.
E.T. was the first movie that made me cry in the cinema. 😥
E.T. was the first movie I ever saw in the movie theaters. I'm just a little bit younger than Drew Barrymore. For better or worse, I don't remember crying; I don't remember watching this movie in the theater at all.
Fun trivia - The girl Elliot grabs and kisses in the frog scene was Erika Eleniak of Baywatch and Under Siege fame.
15:36 “but I think you killed him already” was improvised by young Drew as the ET puppet wasn’t supposed to get hit by the refrigerator door or fall over. A natural talent to stay in character at such a young age, which is why America and Hollywood have continued loved Drew Barrymore.
Totally didn't know that. Thanks!
I think it was more the fact she kept forgetting it wasn't real at that age. In between scenes she would actually talk to the E.T. animatronic and bring it food and stuff. Really funny scene either way though.
@@stevenfriedman2902 That's just the purest form of method acting!
ET was the biggest cultural phenomenon film since Star Wars in 1977. Don't think anything came close until Lord of the Rings in 2001 and maybe Harry Potter.
Summer of 1982 was amazing for movies, ET, Tron, Star Trek II, Blade Runner, The Thing, the list goes on
Seeing ET seemingly dead , just lying in a ditch as a child, was extremely depressing/sad for me. Traumatic/memorable moment.
This is iconic 80's. Not the aliens... more like kids just going everywhere unsupervised on bikes. Left home alone. Riding in the front seat of the car at like 6 years old lol.
No aliens? You were in a boring neighborhood.
@@tenchraven well you never know who was under the ghost costumes.
The tempting candies were supposed to be M&M's but when Mars Inc were approached for permission to use them they refused believing kids would be scared by ET. Hershey however jumped at the chance and so Reeses were chosen - and the film catapulted the product sales to record levels as a result. Turning the opportunity down is generally accepted to be one of the worst business decisions ever made.
A lot of people say this movie is overrated, but I disagree. It has earned its well received status in my eyes.
@18:15 There is a very old theory that E.T comes from the Star Wars universe (his species is seen in the senate in Episode 1) and may have thought that the kid dressed as Yoda was the real one and wanted to go home with him.
Yea that part is where it gets confusing because Star Wars is supposed to be a fictional story in the movie.
This movie came out the year I was born and was a big part of my childhood. There were E.T. posters in a lot of kids' bedrooms, even several years later. I first saw the movie when it was released on home video a couple of weeks before my 6th birthday and I got it as a present. I had seen the E.T. merchandise everywhere, but thought it was just some kind of strange skeleton until I saw the movie. I watched my video copy of the film so many times that the tape became very worn, though I think I still have the physical tape somewhere (instead of the plain black plastic shell that most video cassette tapes had, the E.T. one had some parts that were bright green plastic, which I think was some sort of attempt at copy protection due to the extreme popularity of the movie). Many years later, I rewatched the movie as an adult and was amazed by how well it held up, as well as delighted by just how...80s...it was, bringing that wonderful decade back to me. I started looking up trivia about the movie and found out some pretty interesting things.
- The original script (and the novelization of the movie) featured M&Ms as the candy Elliott used to lure E.T. to his house and into his room. However, when Spielberg tried to get permission from Mars Candy to use M&Ms in the film, Forrest Mars, founder of Mars Candy and inventor of M&Ms, found E.T.'s appearance so repulsive that he refused permission, expecting the movie to be a flop. Spielberg then approached Mars Candy's rival, Hershey's, about using their equivalent to M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, in the film. Hershey's agreed on condition that they could use the film in their advertising. This proved to be one of history's best business decisions, as E.T. was one of the most successful films in history, and Reese's Pieces went from only a tiny fraction of the sales of M&Ms to almost even thanks to its association with the film.
- The scenes were shot more or less in chronological order, so that the child actors would bond with the character of E.T. and make their emotions genuine and their performances more real.
- The scene in which Michael (Robert MacNaughton) jumped back into the shelves and made them collapse was the actor's real, unscripted reaction to unexpectedly seeing E.T. for the first time. The same is true of Gertie's (Drew Barrymore) scream of terror when first encountering the alien.
- For the scene where the government has taken over the family's house, Spielberg felt that casting professional actors as the medical staff that was present and monitoring Elliott's and E.T.'s condition would be too unconvincing, so he hired actual doctors and nurses from a hospital in the area to play the medical staff. He gave them a summary of their role in the story and had them write their own lines so they would be consistent with what a medical staff would actually say in that situation.
- Many years after the movie was filmed, Henry Thomas (who played Elliott, and who had retired from acting shortly afterward) returned to play Elliott in a commercial that portrayed an accurate (though very short) sequel to the movie, showing E.T. returning to earth near Elliott's house a generation after the events of the film, meeting his family and reuniting with him.
Everyone keeps asking why some of the government agents would come in with astronaut suits on. That's because they were unsure if the alien was carrying dangerous germs or viruses. A space suit is literally the most sealed outfit you could have chosen.
Yea but there are hazmat suits for just that occasion which they show people wearing in the very next scene. The astronaut suits were more to look scary and intimidating for that quick scene but definitely wasn't practical for the suit's lack of mobility since they're literally only meant for being used in space.
@@stevenfriedman2902 Oh, definitely, they were used for effect too.
There was a sequel in development, and the story was wild! Evil aliens come to earth, and then ET comes back to Earth to fight the evil aliens.Spielberg hated it the idea and the fact that the studio even wanted to make a sequel. Spielberg said that ET was a complete film and didn't want or needed to have a sequel.
in Gremlins there's an easter egg about it, the title on the movie theater is one of the possible titles for ET2.
Im pretty sure later down the line, they made an ET commercial where he finds Elliot all grown up with a family and the two have to contact ET's ship again to find his family
We Gen Xers were just built different. Ride off in to the forest to stay the night with my little alien friend to chill out for the night? Why not? I got nothing else going on!
Facts.
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! Spielberg was the goat of the 80s. Do the Goonies next!
TH-cam does search terms now? Damn
My friend in grade school actually saw ET months before it came out, I think his family knew people in the industry, he came to school one day with a button that said I Love ET and was raving about it. He said it’s the greatest movie ever made, you have to see it. Better than Star Wars? Way better he said. I couldn’t believe it. Then it came out and was the biggest movie of all time for the time.
"He's soooo good!" If you think he's good here than check out his 3 minute audition for the part! (cut and paste) "Henry Thomas audition för E.T. "Ok kid, you got the job"."
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg embed stuff from their movies into other movies. The ET species shows up in the Star Wars Senate, and R2D2 and C3PO can be seen in the hieroglyphs in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- For me, my parents handled everything to do with pizza delivery.
- I live in the Midwest, where it's very windy, so I'm no stranger to tipped over garbage cans...
- According to the novelization, the keys on the guy's belt terrified E.T., who mistook the keys for being teeth and thought the guy wanted to eat him.
- Drew Barrymore started acting very young thanks to her family connections to the film industry. Her father, John Barrymore Jr. and his father, John Sr. were both actors, and her great-uncle, Lionel Barrymore, was one of the most famous actors in the world during the first half of the 20th Century.
- Spielberg originally planned to have Harrison Ford cameo as Elliott's principal, who was going to lecture Elliott about aliens not being real, but the idea sadly didn't make it into the final film.
- My mom had one of those mirrors that simulated the lighting of various locations (the lights had "Day", "Office", "Evening" and "Home" settings) when I was a kid. It looked exactly like the one Elliott was using at 17:21.
- As Spielberg and George Lucas are great friends, Spielberg used a lot of Star Wars references in E.T. and Lucas reciprocated by putting E.T.'s species in Star Wars: Episode I. They appear in the background of the Senate scene, and are officially called "Grebleips" ("Spielberg" spelled backwards!)
- This may sound weird, but I couldn't eat those white powdered mini-donuts for the longest time because they reminded me of E.T.'s appearance when he was in the later stages of his illness...
- E.T. wasn't faking his demise. He revived because he drew energy from the bond he shared with others of his kind, and they got close enough for that bond to be re-established in the nick of time.
This movie is such a classic. It has memorable moments, the characters are great, not to mention every time Reese’s Pieces are brought up in a conversation, you’ll think of this movie. It’s basically another win for Steven Spielberg.
6:23, not chocolate, Reese's Pieces. Peanut butter and delicious candy coating, but not chocolate. Not those anyway. 🙂
Well, Reeses is peanut butter AND chocolate. As anyone who's ever eaten their products would know.
ET is a Jedi. He recognized Yoda.
"Did you explain school to him?"
"How do you explain school to higher intelligence?" 🤯
I know the actor who played Elliot, was in the movie Doctor Sleep, sequel to The Shining and he played the ghost of Jack Nicholson's character.
That was Elliot? I mean, first of all, that was the worst Jack Nicholson look-alike I've ever seen in my life. But... that was Elliot? 😮
@@tubekulose Yes that was him, he was also in two other movies I have seen Pet Sematary Blood Lines, made a mistake watching that one, and a movie called Fire in the Sky, which I saw years ago, I just remember him in it and nothing else.
@@TrentRushton Oh, thanks for the info!
yes Elliot is Henry Thomas.
In recent years he has worked a lot with Mike Flanagan (hence Doctor Sleep), but above all the incredible TV show The Haunting of Hill House which I recommend watching @ANGELINAA
@@tubekulose How many have you seen? I mean, you're right, he only had a vague resemblance but I've never seen anyone who looks very similar to Jack Nicholson.
This is one of those classic that everyone should be required to see.
If you didn't know, ET is in the Star Wars prequels.
All of the government men were faceless, except the one that was kind and sympathetic towards Elliot.
Watching ET for the first time in 2024. You are more Extraterrestrial than the freaking ET himself. (pd: love you) :d
Harrison Ford was the teacher. It cut was due to not adding anything to the scene, but the rumor was that he was so famous, they didn't want him to drown out the rest of the film.
If you haven't already, you should do Hook, especially if you do Peter Pan
ET was one of those movies that came out of nowhere and became a phenomenon. Spielberg was very smart, he underplayed it before the release and knew it would grow stronger by word of mouth instead of studio hype.
There’s so many of these scenes Stranger Things took inspiration from, especially in season 1. Eleven was supposed to be very similar to ET, learning to speak with the kids that took her in, the bike scenes, the D&D, the flipping the van scene is the reverse comparison of the bikes flying, etc. The mom is like Joyce, the “astronauts” are like the lab, they’re listening in on radios to the calls. ET went as a ghost for Halloween and Eleven tried to do that too. It’s all so perfect.
I love the sketch from Family guy where ET is the special needs kid from the ship the other aliens tried to abandon on earth, and all their fingers on each hand can glow
I grew up watching this movie and it was at first a creepy, spooky movie as a kid but as I got older I saw things the way you did. It’s a timeless classic and I’m here for it.
I had so many nightmares of E.T. as a kid. The beginning of the movie just freaked me out way too much nut once E.T. and Elliot became friends I was ok with watching the movie. My parents for some reason thought that maybe if I went on the E.T. ride at Universal Studios that I wouldn't be as scared of him but they were wrong. The wait in line was made to be like the forest in the beginning of the movie and E.T.'s head would randomly pop out of the bushes in places while you waited to get on the ride and I hated it. Now that I'm older though this is a movie I really appreciate.
E.T. is canonically a part of the Star Wars Universe. His powers are LITERALLY The Force.
- Force Telekinesis (floating object to depict planets)
- Force Telepathy/Empathy (his connection to Elliot - the same as Obi-Wan feeling the death of Alderaan)
- Force Healing (Healing Elliot's cut and reviving the flowers)
E.T. isn't a Jedi or anything, but his species just have a naturally tendency towards being Force sensitive and being able to use Force powers.
E.T. is the earliest depiction of Force Healing/Resurrection in the Star Wars canon.
We don't see them again until the modern era, where we see Grogu and Rey use Force Healing.
And we see Kylo Ren revive Rey (but in that case it seems to be limited to just within their Force Dyad).
Potentially, E.T's connection with nature and plants MIGHT mean his species' ability to revive things only applies to plants.
This is why, despite walking past all these other monsters, it's SPECIFICALLY Yoda that E.T. recognizes as "home".
Either because Yoda himself specifically is famous in E.T.'s world, OR Yoda's species is known to E.T.'s people.
E.T. is from the planet Brodo Asogi (The Green Planet)
Supposedly the Asogians (E.T.'s species, which means "Children Of The Green Planet") themselves are a plant-like species.
In the Star Wars Prequels, during the senate scenes, you can see the delegation of Asogians in their senate pod, lead by Senator Grebleips ("Spielberg" backwards).
In Star Wars canon, Senator Grebleips notably declared his intention to fund an extra-galactic expedition project.
This movie, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, is a depiction of that expedition to "a galaxy far far away".
So E.T. was sent from the Star Wars universe by Senator Grebleips.
Notably, another Asogian at one point hires Luke Skywalker as an Uber driver.
Also, the PK-Series Worker Droids are based on Asogians.
Well, not canon, but these days that just means thats Disney can't make money on it.
@@tenchraven It's only not canon if the Prequels aren't canon.
Which is fair. Because they shouldn't be.
28:45 He did, and he wasn't first choice for the role either. Another kid was cast but whilst he could act, after losing a game of Dungeons & Dragons being played on set during further casting he showed his real colours when he lost. He kicked off and became a real asshole of a kid and the casting director realised the real person behind the act wasn't the sweet innocent 9 year old they wanted and nobody liked him so they axed him. Word reached them about a young boy from Texas called Henry who seemed to be the real deal, a great kid who could also act. Due to time constraints after the first error of judgement with their initial choice for Eliot, Spielberg had him flown out to audition in front of him in person along with the Producers. He was given a general premise and asked to improvise. The audition can be found on TH-cam if you search. Famously, at the end, with hardened Hollywood producers in tears, you can hear Spielberg tell him: "Ok Kid, you got the job..."
How the hell do you "lose" D&D? You can't.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Visual Effects
Best Film Editing
Best Sound Editing
Best Original Score.
and was totally robbed by Gandhi 😡😡
the year before that, Raiders of the Lost Ark was also rob by Chariots of Fire.
the Academy didn't like Spielberg at all
I've always been thankful for the fact that Spielberg and Universal never gave up "E.T." as an IP that had sequels or remakes. It's perfect as is and will always be a classic film of its time.
Spielberg also insisted ET be a single movie. Universal offered him the moon to do a sequel and he refused
My Twin sister and I were 3 years old when this movie came out and my mom took us to see it and my sister balled her eyes out lol.
The Wild Robot is fantastic. The animation is insane, see it on the big screen. I cried when this movie came out and I still cry. It’s a perfect movie.
Fun fact: this alien species is part of the Star Wars universe. In blink-and-you'll-miss-it scenes, you can see a group of them in one (or maybe two or three) of the galactic senate meetings in the prequel movies.
watching this in theaters was just priceless.
I was like 16 and cried like a baby at the death and at the goodbye scenes, and still do sometimes when watching it again.
my second best Spielberg movie after "Raiders" (my all time favorite)
The most simultaneously heartwarming/heartbreaking line in this whole movie....
(ET illuminates his finger): I'll....be....right....here
When E. T. sees the kids dressed as Yoda, John Williams quotes himself with Yoda's Theme in the soundtrack. He is a genius!
It makes scenes that ET would be drawn to Yoda. Fun fact, in (Attack of the clones) some of his species are present at the senate meeting so that must mean that they are part of the galactic republic. Being that Yoda is so old and the earth is in the same universe ET might have recognized him as a mean to get home.
The ending feels even sadder now when you're grown up and realize how rare a friend like E.T. really is. It actually makes me wish Elliott did go with him when he asked, it's not like he couldn't come back to visit his family.
You also might want to do Spielberg's War of the Worlds soon, it makes quite a contrast with this one in terms of what the aliens are like.
By far you have the best commentary on E.T.
I'm very impressed and you gave me new insight into my childhood movie that I've watched a hundred times that I didn't even realize. As someone who was Elliot's age when I saw this I was also in a broken home feeling isolated. Gen Xs parents weren't real present.
Awesome reaction ❤
The doctors in the quarantine scene are real doctors.
They were told to treat ET like a real patient.
6:23 those are not M&Ms by Mars, but Reeses Pieces. Instead of chocolate centers they are peanut butter centers, very soft and tasty. Imagine an M&M with a peanut butter cup center.
7:07 that adorable girl is Drew Barrymore
15:25 the "prettt girl" is Erika Eleniak actually is Playmate of the month in 1989 and she plays Jordan Tate aka Miss July 1989 in Under Siege.
17:05 i had a finger like that from Chiristmas. It glowed. Also, the Speak-n-Spell, had one of those too as a kid.
Elliot (Henry Thomas) plays in a good spy movie 2 years later.in "Cloak and Dagger" (1984)
If you listen closely when E.T. sees the kid in the Yoda costume, you can hear John Williams slip a couple bars from his own Yoda theme in there. Cheeky fellow, that Johnny. :)
Hello Ange!😊 Poor Ange having lived in a cave and never seen E.T.😭😆 Did Drew Barrymore think E.T. was real? Yes, she did. What is that strange can on the table that says "Fresca"?😆 Some young familiar faces here. Erika Eleniak (Baywatch) is the girl Elliot kisses at school. C. Thomas Howell (blue ski mask) is one of the kids on the bikes. Great reactions to this sci-fi family film classic, Ange!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
27:32 Yep, the soundtrack is the real star here. This is, in my opinion, John Williams finest creation and that's some body of work to pick from ! The whole 'Adventures on Earth' suite from the beginning of the final escape and chase leading to that final rainbow stanza is PERFECT. It never, ever fails to reduce this 50+ year old guy to tears. Wonderful work from the Maestro of Maestros and he knew it because it was one of the rare occasions where Williams actually asked Spielberg to hear what he had composed without the footage. Why ? Because he couldn't match the visuals with the score as per usual but he knew he had something special. Spielberg agreed and once he'd heard it he took the movie back and re-edited the final scene to match the score.
E.T. Is in my top 3 favorite movies of all time, I adore this film
Props to both you and Reese for putting together such a fun reaction!
This is the movie that made me want to be a filmmaker
It is so simplistic with its material yet
So complex
In The Phantom Menace you see a group of ETs in the senate. He really wanted to go home when he saw Yoda
6:33 Some guys get this leather fob that they hang from their belt and keys, hanging loose, hitting that fob all day. I was Marine Recon, we walk silently. A constant key jangling would drive me crazy.
8:14 "Surprising how deep a sleepers this family is."
First of all, necessary for the plot, and second, in the 1970's, my town used to summon volunteer firefighters with a GIANT siren in the town water tower. Time after time, I got up and went while my family slept soundly. That siren could wake the dead. How they managed that feat, I'll never know.
9:30 "Ought to show him the Star Wars movies."
You didn't see ET in the SW prequels (ep. 2)? Go look at that Galactic Senate scene again.
15:17 Cynthia Nixon, long before S3x In The City.
15:21 Erika Eleniak, before Baywatch fame and Henry Thomas got to kiss her.
24:11 42 years ago, there was some serious boo hooing going on in the theater at this moment.
“It’s a heart warming story, but it’s just not believable. Which is why I give E.T 1 1/2 stars”-Perd Hapley
and now who remembers that guy (nobody), and who remembers ET (everybody)
Since you mentioned asking the viewers who they're going to be for Halloween, I'll be the Lon Chaney Jr version of The Wolf Man (1941) since it's a werewolf from the Universal studio monster movies
The “Tangled” reference to Rapunzel’s healing hair song was crazy💀😭
😂😂😂
@@ANGELINAA 😞
Interesting. This is the OG and not the CGI remastered. Cops seen using weapons instead of radios.
It was so wholesome. It was also dark. Welcome to 80s young kid's movies.
Fun fact: the moon scene with ET and Elliot is the emblem for amblin entertainment. A production company by Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall.
Vox Machina season 3 has begun. And they FINALLY ANIMATED _THAT SCENE!_
Minimal spoilers: Vax made an impromptu roleplay monologue to another player, and Vex undermined him.
One of my favorite podcasts refers to ET as a "wet, brown little creep"
‘There’s alligators in the sewers!’
"Feels can restore life... or they can steal it." That's what I took from ET back in the day. Humanity used to know that. My question is: At what point since then did we forget?
Ah when everybody had a bike instead of a phone. Those were very good days.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
6:22 I have to pause before my head explodes. Does Ang not even eat candy or what?
Reeses are peanut butter, not chocolate. If they were chocolate, they would just be m&ms. But even if they were m&ms they wouldn't melt in your hand because they have hard candy shells! The add used to literally be "M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hand!"
Somebody get that girl some Reeses Pieces, stat!
Fun fact E.T was in Star wars the phantom menace when the princess was speaking
It was The Phantom Menace actually
@@stevenfriedman2902 your right thanks for the correction
while its an Xfinity commercial, a few years back they did an ET mini reunion as a commercial
Fun fact E.T. and his species are in Star Wars, they are part of the senate in the prequels
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas agreed to have cameos in their films. So there are a lot of references to Star Wars in this film and then in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, if you pay close enough attention in the Senate Chambers, E.T.'s species is amongst the many species in the Senate.
I forgot Drew was in this. She was so adorable. Awesome in Firestarter!!! you should totally catch that =D
Fun fact: Steven Speilberg said himself that E.T. was literally made out of brown play-doh and chicken wire.
Imagine when this movie came out in theaters and parent having to contend with a theater full of children crying because ET to died
the best part about drews initial reaction is that was her true first reaction she thought et was real
ET is a Jedi, his species makes a cameo in Episode 1 Phantom menace in the senate.
ET was a big event when it came out, the whole theater was crying when I saw it as a kid, it really hit people emotionally in a big way
18:06 E.T. recognized Yoda because they are from the same galaxy
ET’s species does make an appearance in the Star Wars universe
E.T. Makes a cameo in Star Wars The Phantom Menace during the senate hearing. You can also hear a flourish of Yoda's theme song during the trick or treat scene where he spots the yoda kid.
that’s so cool
A true Spielberg/ Williams masterpiece! Brilliant score! Disney plus will have a J.W documentary next month.
My favorite Spielberg movie of the 21st Century is Catch Me if You Can.
This movie right here might be my favorite of his work from the 20th Century, maybe ever.
THE originator of the "kids on bikes" adventure genre!
You have to watch and react to Henry Thomas's audition for this part. Absolutely brilliant child actor.
Steven Spielberg came a long way from E.T. to War of the Worlds. John Williams scores every time. My neighbors son was named Elliot and we would do the E.T. finger greeting, it was hilarious. 👽
You have to watch the audition video for Elliott, at the end you here Spielberg say, "kid you got the part"
There used to be a E.T ride at Universal Studios and it was SUPER fun! 🚲 👾 🌙
we couldn't do pizza delivery when I was growing up. there was only one place that would deliver that far out of town... and then they tended to get lost.
or, if they ended up at the wrong address, they might have a shotgun pointed at them with a stern "get off my property!"
I hope aliens are like ET, such a sweet little guy 💕🥺
