Michael's expression is priceless. The entire scene is simply magical and still resonates years later.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Absolutely right, that’s what I love about children guiding the film, it seems pretty natural

Most of the kids stuff was unscripted actually at least with there emotions towards ET they never saw him out of costume

[@bry2k]

Two words: Spielberg. Director.

[@Doorhenge]

It seems that all the kids acting in 80s movies was more earnest. I liked how 'Stranger Things' did manage to portray the "80s adventurous kid" right.

[@Choices2aa]

Drew Berrymore was such a cutie when she was little and I have watched her grow up Firestarter, Cat's Eye, 15 And Getting Straight, ET made her a super star. Mad Love, Batman Forever, Poison Ivy, Doppleganger The Evil With In, The Wedding Singer, Blended, Gun Crazy Bad Girls, and now after all of the work she has done making a huge come back she finally got the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Drew won a Golden Globe and I hope she wins an Oscar one day. ET scared me when I saw this movie back in 1982 and it was huge blockbuster back then. Drew Berrymore had her share of demons and did drugs and she went through a lot during her teen years. But she was a huge movie star. John Berrymore would be so proud. Drew appeared on the Actors Studio.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

ET was her 1st really, firestarter etc came later

[@shotaaizawa1206]

I love Michael, he's my personal favorite. We might all see why.

[@AllThreeWitches]

I read somewhere that the shelves falling down was an accident, but was left in the film for effect.

[@g.Raider]

+The Face of The Alphabet It was actually the immediate reaction from the actor who played Michael to seeing E.T.

[@beckylawler2768]

I heard recently that directors like for accidents like that to happen in their movies. That's why the actors keep going until someone says "cut".

[@caitlinjane92]

That's true. Robert said that he wasn't expecting that to happen and it scared him real good, so his screaming in this scene was actually genuine, LOL!

[@aaronhenderson2358]

yep. Spielberg and even Robert himself has stated he didn't know he was backing into the shelves until after the fact. But they left it in because it enhanced his reaction.

[@julianvidal3]

I saw Drew's show recently when she had Henry, Robert, and Dee on to commemorate the film's 40th anniversary and Robert did mention that yes he had no clue the shelves were collapsing behind him, but Spielberg did know before he just didn't tell him cause he wanted a surprise reaction, the prop people were behind the wall of the set and right when Robert stepped back was when they pulled the pins out for the shelves to collapse.

It's crazy how the species of E.T. is officially apart of the Star Wars canon as they were seen in the senate in the prequel trilogy.
