E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Free: A Timeless Classic

In 1982, Steven Spielberg's masterpiece 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' was released, and it has been a beloved classic ever since. The film tells the story of an alien named E.T., who is accidentally left behind on Earth by his spaceship. With the help of two children, Elliott and Michael, E.T. tries to find a way back home.

I have to admit that I was overly sensitive to E.T.'s magic as a child, and it took me a while to appreciate its beauty. But as technology evolved, I realized what I had done was rob people who loved E.T. of the joy they experienced watching the film. Thankfully, I eventually came to my senses and now consider 'E.T.' one of the greatest films ever made.

One of the reasons why 'E.T.' remains a timeless classic is its ability to evoke emotions in audiences of all ages. The film's magical adventure is almost impossible to dislike, and it's easy to see why it has become a staple of many family movie nights.

The film's special effects, which were groundbreaking at the time of its release, still hold up impressively well today. E.T.'s animatronic character, in particular, continues to captivate audiences with its endearing expressions and mannerisms.

Of course, the child performances in 'E.T.' are also worth mentioning. Henry Thomas, who played Elliott, and Drew Barrymore, who played Gertie, deliver standout performances that add to the film's emotional impact.

As for E.T. himself, he is simply a scared alien wanting to go home. He has no explanation for his powers, but does it require one? Nope. His innocence and vulnerability make him all the more relatable and lovable.

Overall, 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' is a journey culminating in some of cinema's most magical and touching moments. It's a story about two little kids who befriend an alien and help him find his way back home. This is one of those movies that I feel like everyone has to watch at least once in their lifetime.

And what better way to experience 'E.T.' than with a special edition gift set, such as the 40th anniversary steelbook release? It's a wonderful way to relive the magic of this timeless classic and share it with loved ones.
