The pilots did not want to report the UFO cause of all the personal and professional ramifications that go along with reporting a UFO. Back then, it could cost a pilot his job and ability to get another job as a pilot, and the whole domino effect that has on a persons life.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. Thanks for watching! (:

[@MsSomeonenew]

It's not just back then, it's still going on. You do not want a UFO claim on your psych eval.

[@randyburrill2340]

Exactly right.

[@chrisf8855]

This movie is absolutely top-notch and was ahead of its time in my opinion. It's an incredible movie in every way.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that this movie was ahead of its time! Thanks for watching! (:

Everybody knew those five tones back when this movie came out. In the extended edition, they showed what he saw inside the ship. Great and fun movie when it came out.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, someone posted a link with some special footage where you can see the inside of the ship. Great stuff! (:

[@wiseoldman53]

Towards the end of the movie, there's a grey haired gentleman with a beard, wearing eyeglasses and smoking a pipe who is briefly shown walking towards the craft with others. This was a cameo by renowned professor and astronomer, Dr. J. Allen Hynek who was the person who originated the 'close encounter' classification system that the movie's title is based on. Great reaction.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Ah, thanks for that, wise old man!! And thanks for watching! (:

I saw this movie in the the theater at 11 ,… Star Wars the year before,.. and Jaws the year before that. This movie was pure magic for me as a kid. The 1970’s opened up the creativity box for cinema. The grandest time to grow up. (1970-1986). Grand reaction. Thank you kindly!!!!

Sound awesome. Thanks for sharing. And Thanks for watching! (:

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@bboy-kv6pd Well it was Jaws in 1975 that was the game changer, BEFORE Star Wars and Close Encounters.

[@PunkersTV]

My absolute favourite all-time movie. I remember queueing at the Cinema for this. They were showing Star Wars and Close Encounters at my local Odeon, so we just flipped a coin. I was blown away by this as a kid in the 70's. Thank you so much for your brilliant reaction to it. Dreyfus was brilliant, but for me the child actor stole the show. Amazing Movie!!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, the child actor WAS amazing! (:

[@The_Last_KrypTONYan]

It isn’t a Saturday without Mr. and Mrs. Boss! If you want a COMPLETELY different take on aliens that will RUIN your night, check out “The Fourth Kind.” And then of course “28 Days Later.” Told you I wouldn’t stop! Love you guys. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Haha, great! Happy to be part of your Saturdays. Both movies are on the list. Keep it up! (:

[@miamicool666]

Thank you so much for the amazing reaction! Legendary movie! For info: Close encounter of the 1st type (RR1): the witness(es) see a UFO, whatever it may be. Close encounter of the 2nd type (RR2): the UFO leaves material evidence, such as traces on the ground. Close encounter of the 3rd type (RR3): the witness(es) see a UFO and its occupants. Close Encounter of the 4th Kind (RR4): the witness(es) are kidnapped inside a UFO (aka abduction).

The pilots didn't want to report a UFO, because they can't be bothered with the paperwork and the fear of being accused of imagining something.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured! Thanks for watching! (:

[@dsimon966]

It was a little more than that. Back then pilots were often grounded and possibly lost their jobs if they reported UFOs.

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

There was a deleted scene at the end that shows what he sees inside the mother ship. He enters a round chamber with lights all around it illuminating the chamber. They all turn upwards, then the ceiling of the chamber starts rising and reveals the enormity of the inside of the ship. He sees so many windows all full of beings looking down upon him, which overwhelms him with joy. Then he sees in the center of this enormous ship is a docking system for the smaller ships with four massive arms that connect to the disc that was the ceiling of the chamber that rose up. All the small ships dock inside the structure, then activate their engines giving off a shower of light that lights up the whole inside of the ship. Then the last being outside returns the hand gestures and smile to Lacombe, and they close up and leave. The expression “every Christian soul” was used to mean that he wanted something so scary that anyone in their right mind, sensible people, would be scared away. If they’re not in their right mind, and don’t get scared away, chances are nobody would believe what they say anyway. Great reaction!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thanks for sharing! Yes, someone posted the link to the deleted scenes, so I saw the inside of the ship. Great stuff! Thx! (:

[@mostlyharmless1]

When the mother ship is rising over Devil's Tower, there'a second where you can see a gold upside down R2D2 on the bottom of the ship and Star Wars didn't come out for another year, Spielberg threw it in as an Easter Egg!!!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I don't know anything about Star Wars, but I did learn about the R2D2 from you guys! (:

[@mikejankowski6321]

Star Wars came out before Close Encounters. I read that there was also a VW bus modeled into the ship.

[@mostlyharmless1]

@@mikejankowski6321 Close Encounters was 76, Star Wars was 77

[@tooluser]

my favorite part of this film is when the aliens first appear at Devils Tower and they make the Big Dipper constellation in the sky (Roy giggles when he sees it). It reflects the playfulness that exists throughout the film to ease the ever-present tension.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thanks for sharing! (:

[@lucagiovanetti9870]

Excellent movie! One of the best about aliens ever! Did you know that the actor who plays Mr. Lacombe is a well known french director called Francois Truffault? The name Lacombe is actually a homage to one of his movies called "Lucien Lacombe"..

[@BossMovieReactions]

I did read about Mr. Lacombe being a director, but I didn't know about the homage to one of his movies. Thanks for the trivia! (:

[@jorluo]

Great reaction again. The WW2-type planes in the film were based on Flight 19, the designation for a group of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 after losing contact during a US Navy overwater navigation training flight. All 14 Navy pilots on the flight disappeared without conclusive evidence as to what had happened to them. Over the decades, there have been all kinds of rumors about UFOs, etc. being to blame. The war was already over and it's hard for people to accept that all the planes just disappeared at the same time. - By the way, the French guy was played by the world famous film director François Truffaut.

[@BossMovieReactions]

[@losmosquitos1108]

The french role of Claude Lacombe was played by the excellent and famous film maker François Truffaut himself. I remember how flabbergasted I was 1977 seeing him in the premiere of the Spielberg movie in Austria only one year after I watched Truffaut‘s great film „L’Argent de poche“ („Small change“)…

[@BossMovieReactions]

[@brt5273]

I saw this at the theater when i was a little kid. Came out within a year after Star Wars but this meant so much more to me. The guy who plays the keyboard wasn't actually an actor. He was a tech from the company that provided the keyboard and he was just there to install it, but they wrote him into the film and he became one of the interesting "characters" that populate Spielberg's films.

Devil's Tower is the core of an extinct volcano, the surrounding structure of the volcano having long since eroded away. This is how, when you look at it, you see those long grooves in its side. The whole mass is extruded magma.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thanks for sharing! (:

[@darrenscrowston9386]

The feeling of ‘this means something…’ has resonated with me through my entire life. That feeling that you know something is important but can’t place why. Hidden meanings. The sequence in this film where Roy has built the Devils Tower in his sitting room and is on the phone while the tv station is showing the tower and the anthrax outbreak…that moment where he turns round and realises what he knows to be true actually is true…I’ve been waiting for that moment so far my entire life.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Very interesting. Please let me know when that moment occurs! (:

........I loved your reactions to the "mother ship" --- one of you admitted you'd be "freaked out" and the other wouldn't be.

I am inundated with bad movie reactions right now. I'm glad you're watching this. I know every flaw, and yet can still watch it an endless amount of times. I guess it's watching people handle the subject matter. I notice with the 5 tone signal, that no 2 scenes seem to have it in tune with each other. As a musician, I was critical of this at first. But finally I realized that this is needed to define the transition.

[@BossMovieReactions]

May I suggest a real underrated gem from 2013 called “Oblivion” with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. This one has superb special effects, an outstanding score, and a terrific storyline with twists and turns that will keep you guessing.

The little boy wasn't actually acting. All his reactions are real. When he is looking excitedly at the sky and says "toys!" Spielberg was standing on a ladder with what he told the boy was a surprise. Then he pulled out some toys and the boy reacted earnestly. The scene where he encounters the aliens in the kitchen and does the fascinated stare, Spielberg had two of the crew dress up in monkey suits which first made the boy a little scared and then one of the men took off his mask and the boy recognized the man and smiled. That's how Spielberg got his reputation as being great with child actors. There's a documentary about the making of Close Encounters where they go into all this.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Awesome. Thanks for the info! (:

[@benjauron5873]

I road tripped up to Wyoming a few years ago and saw neat things all over the state, including Devil's Tower. There's a gift shop on the road leading in called the "Devil's Tower Trading Post," and it's full of keychains, coffee mugs and T-shirts that reference this movie. You'd swear it was in Roswell, New Mexico, not Wyoming. Anyway, there's a trail around the entire circumference of the tower. The whole loop is less than a mile and a half. I walked it twice. Unfortunately, I found no secret Air Force base on any side of it, just breathtaking scenery as far as the eye can see in every direction. Well worth the trip.

That was great! Thank you! To make an idea about how and what I felt when I first saw the movie, I’ll say only this - I was 13 and I saw it on the big screen in the theatre. It was a path opener, as it was a foundation for all the great movies that followed … a little later in the same year, the first Star Wars movie (ep.4) came out and it was obvious to everybody that a new trend was launched. Before that, there was nothing getting even close to it. So, I can safely say that I witnessed the beginning of a new cinematic era at first hand. As always, you guys charged me with a great mood for at least one more week … anyway, please keep your fingers crossed for me, as the next week is of crucial importance for me, defining for many important things in my life.

[@losmosquitos1108]

Little trivia: at 7:26 you see the kid first expressing fright and the all if a sudden relief with a smile. The actor Cary Guffey told much later how Spielberg achieved all these wanted reactions mostly in the first take. In this case there was one of the stuntmen dressed up as a gorilla and then he removed his head mask and the kid recognized his friend he was familiar with on the set. Toby Neary (Roy Neary‘s son) was actually played by Justin Dreyfuss, Richard‘s nephew. When the kid called „toys“ at 20:10, he reacted to Spielberg standing on a ladder, grabbing a box and unwrapping a toy…🤭👍. Genius conductor! He made it easy for kids to simply react instead of acting… At 22:14 when the boy crawled through the cat door he was pulled by his own real mother from the other side. On the DVD version you could see her forearm for the fraction of a second…. 🫢 44:20 When the kid started to cry and say „good bye“ he was told by Steven that he won‘t see his friends from the film crew anymore, because they were done…

[@BossMovieReactions]

Ah, that's great stuff. Thanks for sharing! (:

[@charlesmaurer6214]

Fun Fact the star, Richard Dryfus is the grandson of the French officer Theodore Dryfus that was wrongly sent to Jail and though movies have been made he never played his grandfather despite the fact he looks like him. Another Actor that I think should have played a relative when he was younger is Tom Hanks, who like myself is a generational cousin of Abe Lincoln. Lincoln's mom was a Hanks and hers a Mooney. I have Mooney blood on my maternal line.

Hi Mike, nice to see you, and your very lovely wife Jessica of course!😊 This was one of the older films that helped establish Stephen Spielberg as a big director. Do to its popularity they kept releasing different versions of the film on video. In the first altered film with new content the studio agreed to let Spielberg make it if he showed the inside of the spaceship when the people go in at the end.😉 This was so they had something to market the new version with for sales.

Yes, target fixation! That's a good point. And thanks for watching! (:

The WWII fighter planes, historically, were a training squadron that set off from Florida and went missing over the ocean.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, that's what I heard... Bizarre stuff! (:

[@massakastuono7870]

Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. They showed it on TV in 1979 when I watched as a child. It was mind blowing. I don t know if you felt the same but I felt that it was a movie based on some real details that clearly someone have passed to the editors at that time. But thank you so much for bringing this nostalgia. And yes, your wife does have a infectious laugh 😂..cheers.

Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Cheers!! (:

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Another good one guys. The beginning scene with the planes is also pointing to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The pilots didn’t want to report a U F O because they would have been ridiculed and maybe lose their jobs like Roy did. It’s kind of hard to understand how you have never seen this before since it’s such a classic and you both are involved with the making of movies. I like how Mike watches movies. You can see him engrossed and maybe learning tips in the making of films. A couple of suggestions even though different genres you would enjoy if you’re unfamiliar with are Crimson Tide and 12 Angry Men. That’s an older classic.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, someone else mentioned the Bermuda Triangle as well. Very interesting. I put your two movie suggestions on our list (I think "Crimson Tide" was already on it). Anyway, thanks for watching. (:

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Cool but I did do a search for your channel on Crimson Tide and couldn’t find anything.

My Godmother took me to see this movie at the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC when I was 16 years old making this movie forever a favorite of mine. If you buy the three disc edition, we all saw the theatrical release.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Wow, that's great. Must have been quite an experience. Thanks for watching! (:

[@bighuge1060]

@@BossMovieReactions It was, thank you. We all got a photo-filled program as well. It was an event. Streaming is convenient but to see a movie in a movie house some how elevates the experience. For two or three years I saw old movies at some retrospective movie houses and to see old movies in the format in which they were released did make the experience better.

1977…the year that science fiction cinema was introduced to George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg. “Star Wars” came out in June and “Close Encounters,” or CE3K, came out in December.

[@BossMovieReactions]

A great year for sci-fi lovers! Thanks for watching! (:

[@michellehardman50]

Great reaction guys ❤️ Most people have a top ten of films. Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind, is my number 1 film, since the early 80s. I never got the chance to see this at the cinema.. Still holding out that my local cinema might show it on the big screen!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thanks, Michelle!! I hope you'll get the chance to see it on the big screen! (:

[@CollectiveDreaming-es8zg]

The "close encounter" scale was invented by astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek. The classes range from CE1-CE5, with 4 and 5 being added after Hynek's death. CE1 is when one sees a defined, detailed object at an estimated distance of less than 500 feet. CE2 is when the object has interacted in some way with the physical environment around it. CE3 is when the observer sees one or more animate occupant in or from the object. This could also be interaction between the observer and the occupant. In CE4, the occupant or occupants abduct the observer, such as, for example, in the Barney and Betty Hill incident in the 1960s or the case of Whitley Strieber in the 1980s. And CE5 represents human attempts to initiate interaction with UFO/UAP occupants. Seeing lights in the sky or even indistinct objects doesn't even make the CE scale, though it is still of interest.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, I looked it up right after the movie! Thanks! (:

Now that you've seen the film, you're eligible to appreciate an excellent parody called "Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind." It's pie in the face slapstick. Over 12 minutes of fun. 😊

I'm impressed you knew it was a mountain so early on, when all we had seen so far was shaving foam, a pillow, and a "poop emoji".

Well, what can I say, it was the first thing that came to my mind. The Shaving foam instantly reminded me of snow and our Swiss MOUNTAINS. So, I got lucky. Thanks for watching! (:

Look fast towards the end when they show people staring at the spaceship and you can see the actor who played Bishop in Aliens

If you look closely when the mothership first appears, you'll see an upside-down R2D2 that is backlit. There is a great video on KZbin about the people who made and hid things all over the mother ship model.

Big Spielberg fan, and this is one of my favorite movies. 32:56 My favorite line from the film 😂 Close encounter of the first kind: Visual sightings of an unidentified flying object, seemingly less than 500 feet (150 m) away, that show an appreciable angular extension and considerable detail. Second kind: A UFO event in which a physical effect is alleged; this can be interference in the functioning of a vehicle or electronic device, animals reacting, a physiological effect such as paralysis or heat and discomfort in the witness, or some physical trace like impressions in the ground, scorched or otherwise affected vegetation, or a chemical trace. Third kind: UFO encounters in which an animated entity is present-these include humanoids, robots, and humans who seem to be occupants or pilots of a UFO. There's no fourth kind. Source: Wikipedia. The planes at the beginning of the film are from flight 19, a group of five Navy planes that disappeared off the coast of Florida in December 1945. The ship that showed up in the desert (you didn't show) was the SS Cotopaxi, a steam ship that disappeared during a storm during a trip from Charleston to Havana in December of 1925. It's wreckage was discovered in the 1980s, but wasn't identified as the Cotopaxi until 2020. Another great Spielberg movie you should watch, if you haven't already, is E.T. (1982)

Richards Character was chosen by the aliens, because he was called by the aliens to be there. Everyone that had the vision to draw build or just keep imaginng the devils tower were the ones the aliens were personally asking for. He and the woman were the only ones to make it.
