Even 35 years later, I get chills when E.T. lying in a ditch getting ready to be eaten by a hungry raccoon and the tears would start to flow. For the longest time, if I wanted to make myself tear up, all I had to do was think of E.T. I was 13 when I saw this in theaters, and it was the first movie I can remember that touched me on an emotional level so deep that it made me cry with both sadness and joy. One could make an argument that Steven Spielberg is the finest filmmaker of his generation and that E.T. just wants one thing-to go home-and Elliott and his family are more than willing to help this happen. The pair share a bond that leads to some trouble at school for Elliott, but in the end, E.T. He’s the middle of three children, and his parents’ recent divorce has put a strain on the household. When an extraterrestrial being is left behind on Earth, he befriends a 10-year-old boy named Elliott who, as luck would have it, is in dire need to be loved and wanted.
