Where to Watch E.T.
- Eric BakkeOctober 13, 2024Movie magic accompanied by one of the greatest music scores in film history.
- jsclark25August 15, 2026An all time classic.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025There are good moments in the early 'discovery' parts of the film and the concept still has a bold sense about it but it all just felt a bit too ragged for me, even stupid at points. Some people probably find that to be part of its charm.
- Mister ArnAugust 5, 2026In E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Steven Spielberg pairs a lonely boy with a lost alien, creating an emotional connection that carries the entire film. John Williams' music and Spielberg's careful direction make every scene land exactly as it should. Instead of ending with a simple escape, the film builds to a heartfelt goodbye that gives the story lasting meaning. Told through the eyes and wonder of children, it speaks just as powerfully to adults. It's a wonderfully made movie and one that's worth watching with your kids.
- carmen.s29June 18, 2026I put it on for my daughter to watch, I wanted to watch it again because I haven't watched it in decades. My daughter seemed like she wasn't into it at first. but by the end of the movie I could hear her giggling out loud at the funny parts.
- Splitvision89May 11, 2026Dumb little puppet just wanted to go home!
- Danny FreshMarch 7, 2026Still great after 44 years.
- Jon WestwoodOctober 24, 2025Even after 40+ years, E.T. remains one of those rare films that can melt even the coldest, diesel-soaked trucker heart. Spielberg’s tale of a stranded alien and a lonely boy still hits with that perfect mix of wonder, humor, and lump-in-the-throat nostalgia. The effects may show their age, but the emotion sure doesn’t — it’s pure, timeless magic. A heartwarming classic that reminds you to keep your feet on the ground but let your heart phone home.
