Next up for viewing was Spielberg's masterpiece E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The first question was which version to watch, the original from 1982 or the 20th anniversary edition which had has some enhanced digital effects and a couple of new scenes restored. I chose the new version because I have not seen it before.
I have not watched the film in at least 10 years and while viewing it i was struck at how fresh it seemed. Aside from some old technology the film had not aged. The sense of child like wonder, exploration and growing up is still there. The new scenes don't add much but the digital additions to E.T. allow him to become even more real on film.
At the Movie House rating **** stars
