I am 61. Close Encounters is still the best Sci-fi movie of all time. The special effects still stand up. But what made the movie special was Devils Tower National Monument. I had the same reaction as Roy Neery coming over a hill in Wyoming three years ago during Pandemic. I cried as it meant so much to me. The funny part was it was closed due to pandemic- sort of fitting.

I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the Ziegfield Theater in NYC when it first came out! That huge screen and incredible sound system meant that when the UFO's arrived at Devil's Tower (as especially when one was hovering above the scientists) the entire theater was shaking. I really felt like I was there! One of the most incredible audio-visual experiences I've ever had while watching a film!

WHOAH!!!! I saw it when it first came out also, and had the same experience......but I did not see it at the Ziegfeld!!! Holy moly! But yeah, best movie theatre experience of my life, by far. Certainly way more mindblowing than "Star Wars", which had come out six months earlier. And I was 8 years old for both, and even then I knew. The audience was almost like.....stoned when the movie ended and the lights came up! And with this happy spirit, like Christmastime or something! Like we'd all gotten off the mothership together! And it was old people, kids, teenagers, couples, people in their 40s, all backgrounds, it was the whole gamut. It wasn't just a room full of kids and their parents. But wow, to see it at the Ziegfeld, I'm just shaking my head. We won't see a movie - or a movie theatre - like that ever again.

Saw Close Encounters in the theater when I was a kid Christmas Day 1977. Already a huge fan of Jaws, I remember mainly wanting to see it because "the guy who directed Jaws made it", I was a fan of science fiction and the subject of UFO's intrigued me. Jaws is still my all time favorite movie. Close Encounters is in my top ten. I was also a huge John Williams fan by that point. The Jaws soundtrack was the first record album I ever owned. Still have it. Also still have my Close Encounters soundtrack on 8 track from back then. I just rewatched Close Encounters on 4k disc. It's just as good if not better than I remember. The "dated" 70's aesthetic now only adds to its charm if you ask me. Like Jaws, John Williams brilliant score brings it to another level.

@@Mr.Goodkat I guess you don’t believe the man himself. It’s not like he hasn’t talked about this before. SPIELBERG I hadn’t made what I’d call my first “adult” film, and I was terrified of Schindler’s List being my first, because what if I wasn’t mature enough? I was certain I wasn’t ready to deal with the gravitas of that subject matter, morally or cinematically, and I felt I lacked the wisdom to be able to discuss the story in the inevitable conversations that all of us have after our films are ready to be released. But I didn’t want to stop the story from getting out into the zeitgeist, so I went to Sydney Pollack. He tried and decided he wasn’t able to do it. I might’ve mentioned it to Barry Levinson at one point; I think Barry passed. And I went to Marty [Scorsese], and Marty was intrigued. It was Marty who hired Steve Zaillian, so the greatest contribution Marty made was finding the best screenwriter to adapt Keneally’s book.

I do remember being at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on opening day of CE! At the time, next to Star Wars, it was the most impressive motion picture I'd ever seen. I only learned from this video that it was only being shown in that theater in LA and that other theater in New York! Very cool :-) As a side note, I was an extra in The Lost World and got lucky enough to be a stand-in arm for Vince Vaughn in the scene where the motorhome is about to go over the cliff and he's holding onto the (huge) satellite mobile phone. Steven Spielberg actually directed me while holding onto that phone etc., while it was slipping through my fingers, etc. Quite an honor (unfortunately, not had a chance to get into any conversation with him, obviously, because it was such a busy time). I also learned in later years that he used to visit down the block from us to our neighbors house (I think it was his cousins) with his 8 mm camera (in Canoga Park California in the early 60s - as he mentions in one of the books he wrote). Would have been cool to meet him as a kid, yet I was just an infant at the time.

Watching Celie’s reaction to meeting the grown children in colour purple. “Oh there you are Peter!” In hook. “I don’t know I’m making this up as I go.” In raiders. The silent death of the soldiers underwater in private Ryan. Sam Neill struggling with his sunglasses in Jurassic park. All the pop culture references in ready player one. The shadows in west side side story. The shiny splatter proof coats and stethoscopes of the SS in Schindler. When he finally takes his journey aboard the mother ship we will have lost something irreplaceable.

One of my favorites films ever. Love it, its brilliantly written and filmed..and it turns out accurate as far as people seeing UFOS . I know this by the related experience of two childhood friends in the late 60’s ..long before this film came out. They were not out looking for things in the sky. This is off the east coast of central Florida… one night they snuck out of their houses in the wee hours of the morning.I did not go that night. So what they described and what they still say they saw 50 years later they did not make up . Anyway it was pretty much identical to the scene depicted in the film where civilians and some military are waiting in a field and the UFOS show up. I believe them..the UFOS DID show up..they happened upon it.

Even the "silent" movies were accompanied by sound and music.

None of the revised or special editions were necessary. True with any film. One could update Forbidden Planet too, or Metropolis, but there's value in seeing what the filmmakers did given the budget, technology and studio meddling, after all, that's the version that connected with audiences and became a classic. What makes anything a classic is that it stays original. There was a bit of well-deserved ribbing when asked "what version will we be seeing tonight." How refreshing if the response was "the original that audiences first saw that made it a hit.".

I'd love to see a sequel to CESK. My idea is this: It takes place in the present day...The Mothership lands and a group of humans walk off (just like towards the end of the original) and one of those humans is Roy Neary who hasn't aged in almost 50 years. He goes to debriefing with the military/science officials and he tells them the moment he took off in the Mothership, he's been living with the regret of leaving his family behind. The rest of the movie is him trying to find out if his family is still alive, and trying to find a way to see them and somehow explain what happened and how he hasn't aged in 40 years because he left Earth with aliens decades ago. It would not be a sci-fi adventure, but more of a serious drama about a sci-fi theme.

I don't think a proper sequel could work because it would need to continue with the original's themes of mysterious visitors, coverups, etc., while also addressing the implications of the first film, such as the fact that the government made actual contact with aliens.

There is a version that approximates the theatrical cut now available. But it's not exactly what was seen in theaters in 1977. Because the process of recompositing that was done for the 1979 "Special Edition" release destroyed the original effects. So, we can't see the effects exactly as they appeared to audiences in 1977. Also, there are a few shots that are different, and some of the music cues are slightly different. Supposedly, Columbia still holds one original release print. But I have no idea what shape it is in.
