E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

Steven Spielberg's sci-fi masterpiece follows the plight of a cute alien accidentally stranded 3,000,000 light years from home on Earth. The creature, confused and alone, is befriended by 10-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas), who introduces the creature to his siblings... as well as the delights of TV, M&Ms and beer. However, real life threatens to overshadow the new-found friendship in the form of NASA scientists keen to get their hands on the visitor. Timeless and touching, this is one of Spielberg's crowning glories.
