I was eleven the year E.T. came out. This movie was a joy to see on the big screen. But my first time watching it was not at any old ordinary theater. My first time seeing E.T. was at a drive-in theater. It was so much more magical and special watching it under the stars. It was the perfect way for the 11-year-old me to watch it. That is one of my most cherished memories.

[@joejawson5264]

I was 12. Not the drive-in but it was the 4th of July and we went to see fireworks right after.

[@StaticBlaster]

I was negative 7 years old. lol.

[@dacsus]

@@StaticBlaster lol.

[@NemeanLion-]

I was 11 too. I was literally trying everything in my power to hold back the tears on a few occasions.

[@lizmagu3189]

Cried at the ending when I saw it in the 80s. My 60 y/o self is still crying all the years later. Henry and Drew did such an amazing job acting. Classic movie. Always enjoy your reactions. ❤

[@Fmanzo10]

You gotta watch Paul. She won’t be afraid of aliens after that one.

[@DougerSR]

I saw this when in theaters. I was ten. Children younger than me were running out of the theater before it ended sobbing. It was quite a spectacle. It was and still is EPIC.

[@erainmartinez8175]

E.T. getting close to death was the saddest thing in the movie when I was a kid

[@SPT1]

I was somewhere between 4 and 7 years old when I saw it (I think it was a re-release) I remember I was crying so loud when E.T is laying in the river that my dad got me out of the theater. Which annoyed me cause even if I was sad I wanted to know what happens next. Anyways, I saw the rest of the movie a few years later.

[@nickstark8640]

Spielberg said that little Drew Barrymore was convinced E.T. was real on the set. So her emotions interacting with him were genuine. This movie takes you on a journey of emotions like you said. It was very entertaining watching the two of you react to this for the first time. It won’t be the last time you see it I guarantee. It’s one of those iconic movies you watch again and again.

[@maplenutsreact]

Aww thank you so much! I absolutely loved little Barrymore - what an experience for her!

[@only257]

@@maplenutsreact agreed

[@Kayjee17]

​@@maplenutsreactThe ET operators would interact with little Drew to keep her believing he was real.

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

@@maplenutsreactthat’s the reason Spielberg is actually her godfather bc of what her parents did to her

[@Christian_Adonis1]

Also, that was Drew’s genuine reaction when she sees E.T. For the first time, as they didn’t let her see him prior.😊

[@TerryNationB7]

I find it so heartwarming that Drew Barrymore thought ET was alive. "We found Drew over there just talking away to E.T. and so we let director Steven Spielberg know," said actress Dee Wallace. "And so Steven, from that time on, appointed two guys to keep E.T. alive so whenever Drew came over to talk to him, he could react to her." Keeping the magic alive! I think Drew Barrymore had a great child performance 2 years later as a lead in the Stephen King adaptation of Firestarter (1984).

[@maplenutsreact]

That's so adorable!! Actually having two crew members to make sure E.T. was alive for her is so amazing

[@jayalexander3356]

My 12yr old self saw this in the theater when it came out, and cried my eyes out. My 54yr old self still cries when I watch this movie.

[@NemeanLion-]

Yeah, I was fighting back the tears in the theater when I was 11.

[@-R.Gray-]

Next logical step : Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, then The Fifth Element. Those aren't as scary as Alien.

[@maplenutsreact]

Oh yes!! I was hoping for more recommendations for non scary alien movies! Thank you so much ❤

[@-R.Gray-]

@@maplenutsreact Also, Space Balls, the Mel Brooks sci-fi space spoof isn't scary, but so many of the jokes in it depend on having seen previous movies like Star Wars, Alien, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, etc. that you wouldn't get many of the inside jokes. The Fifth Element, on the other hand, has Chris Tucker as you've never seen him.

[@vernonjones8304]

Add to the list Flight of the Navigator

[@maplenutsreact]

I remember a friend telling me once that movie is really good! I'll add it to the list, thank you! @@vernonjones8304

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

"Not as scary as Alien" has big "damning with faint praise" energy. While you're at it, tell them the dialog isn't as stilted as Attack of the Clones and the special effects aren't as pointlessly over-the-top as Shaolin Soccer.

[@StaticBlaster]

This year E.T. will be 42 years old. I can't believe it's already been almost two years since I saw E.T. on the big screen for its 40th anniversary and before that I saw E.T. in 2017 for its 35th anniversary. I'll be watching this again in 2027 and/or 2032 for its 45th and 50th anniversaries, respectively.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

ET is actually a film about divorce. Spielberg's own parents divorced when he was young, and he put a lot of personal experiences into the film. He also has always been interested in UFOs and Aliens. So there are a lot of personal touches to the film, which is why his films, especially early films stand out so much. Even a film he only helped with the screenplay, such as Poltergeist, has personal moments sprinkled within it. Which ET was filmed the same time Poltergeist was, and both films are 1982 releases. 1982 is probably the most insane years for film. Tons and tons of highly acclaimed and popular films released then. If you made a list of films to see, solely based around a 1982 release, you would react to some of the most popular films in cinema.

[@maplenutsreact]

Oooh that's very good to know! So we need to watch more 1982 movies ❤

[@only257]

@@maplenutsreact try the classic star wars movie from 1977

[@StaticBlaster]

He also put a lot of himself into Robert's character. Spielberg stated he used to tease his siblings a lot as they were growing up.

[@Xoferif]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is another Spielberg must-watch! Very different in tone from E.T., but it's still an amazing movie even today.

[@StaticBlaster]

In some sense, E.T. is kind of a sequel to Close Encounters. That's what Spielberg was thinking on the set of Close Encounters as they were wrapping up production.

[@sterlingarcher9208]

"Be good" was the first words ET said to Gerdie watching TV, and what he said to her at the farewell.... "I'll be right here" the first words Elliot said to ET when he went to get food, and what ET said to him at the farewell.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

"I think this is probably the only movie that has a nice alien", she says, confident in her extensive knowledge of movies. :D

best movie ever made

[@mrhobs]

I have a buddy who finally saw it for the first time at my place (we're in our 30s), and... idk, didn't get it I guess. Said people only like it because of nostalgia... infuriating.

[@MjrCoxwell]

Theres a reason why ET went for Yoda at Halloween- His species can be seen on Coruscant in the republic representitive coloseum briefly in Star Wars Phantom Menace...so he recognised Yoda LOL

[@stanzaloan3454]

ET is not the only movie with a nice alien. Off the top of my head, you have flight of the navigator, Starman, the Day, the Earth stood still, the original, and the remake. autobots from transformers, Terranova, cocoon, the abyss, this is just some off the top of my head. If you actually spent some time and looked into it, you’d probably find many more.

[@マシュードーラン]

I love that subtle little ET moment during the goodbye where he gets down to Drew’s size to not seem intimidating towards her and then back up to the older brother’s height because he’s taller. The sweetest alien of all time 🫶🏻

I was amazed to realize when I first saw this movie, years after it was released, that it was every bit as good as I'd heard (and didn't believe) it was.

[@philrob1978]

Back in '82/83 I was scared, as a 5 year old. Refused to watch it for the rest of my childhood. Another TV screening in 1988 - I fled upstairs, because I couldn't take it. Such was the power of this. Not because I was scared, just the emotional horror. I can watch it now, as a 45 year old, with the Blu-ray - and the emotional horror is still there. John William's score is utterly amazing.

[@JordangeVision]

One of the first movies I can remember watching. I mean at that age I was just like "alien funny" and now watching it as an adult you get all the feels moments like a ton of bricks. I appreciate your reaction a lot! From another Canadian Jordan, I'll be back here!

[@maplenutsreact]

Haha omg, another Canadian Jordan!! ❤And you're so right, this movie seriously gave us the feels too haha.

[@jillk368]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[@deckofcards87]

He points to Elliot's head to say he'll be in his memory "I'll be right here." I like that he didn't point to his chest, it's more poignant and real the way they did it. The movie's sentimental but in a smart way. It deals with divorce, and loss and growing up. I often think that Spielberg forces sentimentality in his movies where it's not needed, but because E.T. is about childhood innocence it makes sense.

[@van8ryan]

Peter Coyote, who plays the main scientist, actually auditioned for Indiana Jones during the making of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, but he was so nervous, he literally broke a lamp just walking into the room. Spielberg said if RAIDERS had been a comedy, Coyote would've easily gotten the role. When he was casting ET, Spielberg was inspired by Coyote's failed INDY audition and brought him in to play the role to make the character less threatening.

[@3DJapan]

Elliot is supposed to be 10. I dissected frogs and other things in 6th grade which would have made me 11 I think. Ours were already dead though, in formaldehyde.

[@NemeanLion-]

Yeah, I’ll never forget that smell.

[@mjm5081]

I'm not crying, you're crying Damn you Spielberg!

[@hollyhilliard1603]

The show "Legends of Tomorrow" did a pretty cool episode that was sort of an adaptation of ET. There are so many ET Easter eggs in it, down to an appearance by the jungle jim dome.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Other films with friendly aliens include Cocoon, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Flight of the Navigator. There are also some movies with both friendly aliens and hostile aliens: Galaxy Quest springs immediately to mind, and of course the entire Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.

[@tofersiefken]

That manner of dissecting a frog was actually common at one time for 6th through 12th graders. The chloroform does not kill the frog, so its heart is still beating during the dissection. (The cruelty of which is probably why it was discontinued.) By the time I got to dissect a frog, I was in 10th grade and the frogs were dead and preserved in formaldehyde. My sister's class dissected small pigs.

[@NemeanLion-]

I was in eighth grade. I can still remember that terrible smell.

[@tofersiefken]

I understand why Chandra would have been afraid of aliens and too spooked to watch this movie when she was younger. After Alien (1979) there was plenty of justification for one's trepidations about alien movies. I saw this movie with my mom when I was a teenager, originally thinking that my girlfriend wouldn't be interested in a movie about an alien. Two weeks later I took my girlfriend to see it. She cried her eyes out when E.T. "died", then punched me in the arm afterward for not telling her that he wasn't really dead.

[@zhubajie6940]

You're right about most extra-terrestrials being portrayed as horror devices this was preceded by Splieberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and Robert Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) which are the only two others off the top of my head that put ET's in a positive light.

[@kimwexler9393]

When I was really small and watched this, I had no idea what Mexico was. I thought it sounded like a delicious treat.

[@thedragonlee76]

There was oddly... A sequel idea floating around way back in the 80s.Well,the sequel had evil aliens coming to Earth, and ET comes back to help humans and Elliot fight the evil aliens.

One of my all time favorite films.

[@frankmahovlich5099]

Sci-Fi movies with kind and/or well-meaning aliens: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977), the original The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), Galaxy Quest (well, mostly) (1999)

[@Dewey_Cheatum_and_Howe]

What has three balls and comes from outer space? E.T., The Extra Testicle!

[@van8ryan]

This film actually led to a fight between makeup artist Rick Baker and Spielberg. At the time, Baker was working on the aliens for NIGHT SKIES (Spielberg's alien horror film) and John Landis' wolf effects for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON at the same time. When Spielberg changed directions to make E.T., Baker said it was not possible to literally design and execute new aliens for E.T, so fast. The two argued so heatedly that once their meeting was over, Baker told his entire team to exit the building and bring all their work (convinced Spielberg would throw everything out). Spielberg replaced Baker on ET with Carlos Corodini (who had done the alien creatures for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS), and Baker ended up winning the first Oscar for Best Makeup. A few years later, director William Dear wanted Baker to create his Bigfoot character for HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS, but because the movie was being produced by Spielberg, Baker was convinced Spielberg would veto him. However, Spielberg agreed Baker was the best man for the job, and the two reconciled their issues. Baker would win his second Oscar for HARRY and worked on other Spielberg projects including GREMLINS 2 and the MEN IN BLACK films.

I probably saw E.T. on VHS at some point when I was a kid, but I actually don't remember when I saw it. I was born in late 1986 so I definitely didn't see it in theatres, and we never owned it on DVD, so it must've been on VHS in the early to mid '90s when I saw it. So, Chandra, does that mean you haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies because there are lots of aliens in that franchise? Great video.

The race of "E.T." is from the Star Wars Galaxy as seen in The Phantom Menace. E.T. recognizes Yoda on Earth and tries to run to him. How is it possible that there are pop culture Star Wars toys and costumes on Earth? The answer is simple, George Lucas is unknowingly a strong Force Sensitive and through the Force has had visions of the Star Wars Galaxy that he interpreted as inspiration and wrote it all down, including Jar Jar Binx.

Man, your 80's pizza reference, and ESPECIALLY PIZZA PIZZA, is so hard core. From Toronto here. There is no pizza in my neighbourhood that rocks other than Pizzaolio, and that costs a mint for all the toppings and deep dish I want. $51.00 for a large. I remember a place on Queen Street that gave you unlimited toppings and deep dish for 19.99. That was in 2003. Twenty years ago, granted, but shit! How can they not make that work now? I'm convinced they're just not trying enough. Why the hell am I focusing on the pizza, when you're doing a movie reaction? Focus, Sean!

It is fascinating how much fear there seem to be in some people. Almost every movie reactor seems to have a "large" amount of fear of things, both real and fictious characters.

First. Nice reaction. Chandra - don't watch 'The Thing' (later release)... and a bunch of other films!! This is my reaction to 'new' youtubers... My take. There are dozens of films each year from 1940 to today that are 'good'. Don't let the fact that films are black and white prevent you from watching. Don't know what you like but a few of my early favorites are... 1951 Day the Earth Stood Still, 1956 Forbidden Planet, 1968 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, 1968 Lion in Winter. I could go on and on. Wishing you the best in you adventure discovering movie gems of the past. Take Care.

[@maplenutsreact]

"He's a man from outer space and we're taking him to his spaceship." "Well, can't he just beam up?" "This is REALITY, Greg." Let's not be too hard on Keys (Peter Coyote). He does literally nothing wrong and shouldn't be considered a villain. He's just doing his job protecting us from free loading illegal extra-terrestrials and dolphins. Keys is a hero to the #HumanityFirst ideal. Fun Fact: Feature film debut of C. Thomas Howell and Erika Eleniak. Ford Galaxy Fact: Yes, that is the VOICE of Harrison Ford as the faceless teacher. Richard Swingler is the physical actor. Pinocchio's Revenge Fact: Most of the full-body puppetry was performed by a 2'10" tall stuntman, but the scenes in the kitchen were done using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert on walking on his hands. ER Medics Fact: The doctors and nurses who work on E.T. are all real emergency room technicians. They were told to treat E.T. the same way they would treat a real patient, so that their dialogue and actions would seem as real as possible. Reese's Legacy Fact: The filmmakers had requested that M&Ms be used to lure E.T., but The Mars company denied their request, fearing that E.T. was so ugly, he would frighten children. Reese's Pieces were used instead, and as a direct result, Reese's Pieces sales skyrocketed. Because of this, more and more companies began requesting that their products be used in movies and Reese's Pieces became a movie theater stable. However contrary to popular belief, this was not the birth of product placement.
