E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (AFI Top 100 Films #24)

E.T. phone home!

When Ira first watched this movie, he meant its distinction laid out in the back of the VHS cover as the "highest grossing" movie of all time meant that it was super disgusting and scary. There's probably not a single adult right now in their 30s or 40s that didn't have a major part of their childhood shaped by this Steven Spielberg tale of a boy and his super incredible out of the world dog. It's one of the great "kids" movies of all time. So, how does it hold up now as an adult? We watch and find out!
