E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial {1982} 40th Anniversary

When 10-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas) finds a creature from outer space in his backyard, he decides he’s found a new friend (“I’m keeping him.”) This heart-warming science fiction blockbuster (featuring a breakout performance by 6-year-old Drew Barrymore as Elliott’s little sister) brought Steven Spielberg his third Oscar nomination for directing. (“E.T. phone home.”) Rated PG
