E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (40th Anniversary Edition)

Still the best movie, bought this for my great grandon 7yrs old. Eveey child should see ET

Absolutely loved this film as a child and it took me right back to my childhood watching this amazing film again, some good extra features too

A classic, timeless family movie. One of the greatest of all time.

Well have always been debating whether to get this or not since it was released; you know how it is something you once loved to watch re-watch it and you end up not liking it.Granted ET is a classic you can't deny that. But with my taste greatly changed as I do like the darker material. But purchased this after the price was good and a keen Blu ray steelbook collector I couldn't resist.The steelbook is nice better than some that have come out, the picture is brilliant, this is what blu rays are for. None of that half done high definition transfers that barely look better than its dvd counterpart. Though with the various content out their they could have put more special features on. though can't complain with the ones you get. And at least you get a digital copy as well fed up with that pain in the backside Ultra-violet but no dvd copy. Now i will stop moaning now.I don't see the point in reviewing the actual film as everyone must have heard of it.But it's a film that will bring back memories for a lot of people; it does for me.As i loved this when i was growing up. It made me smile and gave me that joyful goosebumps you get when your young and you watch a feelgood movie. but thankfully ET isn't your average feel good movie. it doesnt lean to trying to overly convey a message.Yes happy ending and all that; But this is a must for family viewing.Nothing like a sunday afternoon snacks curled up on the sofa and travel through childhood.Special Features:The E.T.

Fast Delivery enjoyable memorable to watch!

Blockbuster.

Bieng almost 46 I remember the queues for the cinema when this film was originally released. They were so long I never got around to watching it. I've always avoided watching it and as I got older the less I wanted to. However I bought this for my kids to watch. I was very pleasantly surprised when my 8 year old, that barely sits still for five minutes before getting bored, actually sat with me in my arms for the whole two hours without losing concentration or persistently questioning what was happening. We had a great father and son moment.The film itself is ok and as an adult I found it a really basic plot. Most of the film takes place inside a bedroom and the rest of the house. It couldn't have cost much to film. Just shows how things have changed. The alien(s) are not frightening and my youngest at four enjoyed the alien and the film overall.I did notice with the alien ship at the beginning of the film that some of the angles with the ramp/steps down that it looked quite a lot like Darth Vaders' helmet.Two hours went very quickly and if you never have seen it. A try would be worth it. No foul language and no violence. A good fa,ily film.

Introduced my two children aged 4 & 5 to this classic, they loved it.
