Observations from Close Encounters

[Spankey]

Does Melinda Dillon ever put on a bra in the entire movie?
Was that Lance Henriksen among the group of "scientists" at the end?
Did Roy Neary even think twice about leaving his family behind?
It's a shame about Teri Garr.
It took 30 years of technology to be able to see this film correctly in the home.
Red Disco suits to go on a UFO ride. Do the Hustle!

Funny how the first thing you commented on was the lack of bra. LOL

Did anyone else notice in the directors cut during the song that john williams did at the end he takes a small piece of "when you wish upon a star" and puts it in his song? I thougt that was pretty cool.

I like how you get all 3 versions of the film one .

[Kirsty_Mc]

I am really looking forward to this title. Expected delivery for me is 4 - 5 December ... Mind you... we've got Sunshine . Swings and roundabouts of outrageous fortune!

I questioned the same things and it sure is a shame about Teri Garr.

Hi def nip will leave an impression. It was the 70s. Check out Spielberg's bellbottoms in the scrapbook.

Not getting the Teri Garr thing.

Yea, I think that Cricket movie is one of Speilberg's favorites.

She was quite the attractive young woman at one time.

[tiger roach]

OK I did a quick search on her. Evidently she has lots of health issues. MS, and a brain aneurism a year ago...

Yeah, she was hot as the dickens back in the day!

[The Big Blue]

Bummer about her health. I had no idea.

She's great in After Hours

Who’s complaining? Are you complaining? LOL....


Maybe it's just me but in some small way I feel vindicated by the release of this movie over Transformers!

Not complaining at all. I just thought there was some motivation for lack of boob gear in her first scene. Then every scene after, she is still braless. Not that they are big puppies to begin with...

The amazing thing about this movie on blu-ray is that it really does seem like it could have been filmed yesterday. Seeing these actors in their prime so clearly is kind of bizarre knowing what will happen to them 30 years later. It is definitely like taking a time machine back to 1977.

I kept thinking that it would be cool to do a sequel where Neary arrives back on earth to meet his family. They couldn't do it with Dreyfus, because the character would not have aged during his time on the ship.

The WWII pilots portrayed in the movie vanished 30 years before returning to earth. We are now 30 years past the time the movie was made. They didn't even have cable in the movie, let alone satellite, home computers, "cell" phones.
