Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore. Directed by Steven Spielberg.
After the huge success of “CE3K,” Spielberg broke through the sci-fi stratosphere with this film, an endearing and very moving story of a friendly alien accidentally left behind on Earth by his space-traveling colleagues. “E.T.” enthralled moviegoers like no fantasy since “The Wizard of Oz” and is the 4th highest-grossing film of all time in inflation-adjusted dollars. 25th Anniversary!
