Format: VHS - Universal (1988)

I remember seeing this in the theater. I loved this movie at the time, it truly filled me with wonder. Watching it as an adult with other children made me see that it really appeals best to children who are susceptible to the corniness that made this movie a hit. I don’t love it any less, but I can appreciate it for what it is: a sophisticated kid’s movie. (Oh, and we watched the gun version, not the lame walkie-talkie version. I don’t understand what the big deal was–the gun-toters were established as bad guys. Children old enough to appreciate E.T. understand this, so get over it Spielberg.)
