E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial = best movie ever - Blu-ray Forum

The Big Blue · 03-22-2010, 04:05 AM

Watched it tonight. Probably hadn't watched it in about a year. Never changes. Movie-making magic, kicking ass and taking names. Near perfect. As always.

TylerDurden · 03-22-2010, 04:14 AM

I can confirm this claim. I barely remember watching this in the theaters. It is one of the all time classics ever made.

For a time this movie was bigger than Michael Jackson. It still holds its weight and is up there with the best movies of all time.

Is'nt there an album of Michael Jackson album narrating ET? I remember a picture of the two as well.

Yeah Jackson and ET pretty much dominated the decade of the 1980's. I would say it was the movie of the decade.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I picked up that MJ ET album at a thrift store for like 50 cents. I wonder if it's worth anything? I have so much vinyl it's to keep track.

Didnt they rerelease this back in like 2002. I remember going to see it and leaving the movies crying. And that was my first time ever watching ET

Batman1980 · 03-22-2010, 08:42 AM

Top 100 all-time movie? Yes. Best movie ever? Not to me but if you think so, more power to ya.

Yautja · 03-22-2010, 09:51 AM

Great film but it's not the best film ever made

icyteddy · 03-22-2010, 09:55 AM

We are talking about the original 1982 release not the edited butcher version release in 2002 right? 1982 is one of the best movies ever, but the I hated the edited cut version.

Shanester · 03-22-2010, 12:25 PM

I liked the first part of the film with the kids and E.T but the second half with the whole Government subplot dragged the film down a bit.

It's a good film but hardly the best film ever. Raiders Of the Lost Ark which came out a year earlier is a much better effort by Speilberg

P@t_Mtl · 03-22-2010, 04:39 PM

I would not call it best movie ever, it's not even in my top ten.

It's a movie that just get's less and less fun to watch everytime I see it, not sure why that is.

undead · 03-22-2010, 05:16 PM

I love E.T it holds a special place in my heart, with Back to the future and Karate kid.

Beta Man · 03-22-2010, 05:58 PM

Great film....... not the greatest though.

Of course, 1982. Please no more talk about that other thing from 2002.

Yeah, that was just like the darn SW special editions!!!

He really massacred his movie there!!!

Spielberg should die in hell for his betrayal!!!!

NOT!

Get a life already! The 2oth Anniversary was greatly improved.

Bluyoda · 03-22-2010, 06:35 PM

I love E.T too! It's so innocent and yet mature, and has a huge heart!

I can't wait for it to arrive on BD! First day purchase for me!

I didn't mind the anniversary edition either. except for the 'replace the guns with walkie talkies' issue.

ChadFL · 03-23-2010, 02:52 AM

Not best ever for me. But I would probably put it among my top 30 or 40 all-time.
