(1982) (U) Originally envisioned as a film called "Night Skies", a sci-fi/horror film, director Steven Spielberg would instead re-vamp his idea to make the softer, family-friendly, E.T. (although other elements went on to form Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist (1982), which Spielberg produced). Best viewed as a comapnion piece to Spielberg's 1977 film, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, E.T. made a huge profit for Universal and narrowly lost the 1982 Academy Award for Best Film (losing to Gandhi (1981)). A heart-renedering tale of friendship and love, this ranks amongst Steven Spielberg's best films. No small accomplishment.
