There are few popular movies that the majority would consider to be the peak of cinema, and even fewer of those that I would agree with. E. T., however, is as its star, Dee Wallace, once said: "This is our generation's Wizard of Oz."
E. T. is a rather simple story on the onset: an alien from a foreign planet touches down on Earth, misses his chance to get back home, gets found by a young boy whose entire life is irreversibly changed by taking in the little alien and helping him find his way home.
Every single emotion in this entire film is nothing short of purely authentic. Dee Wallace, although earlier on in her spirituality work, managed to channel some of the most intensely beautiful and poignant emotion into this film, exiting the film just as the audience finds themselves with tears streaming down their face.
This is movie perfection. This is movie magic. This is a movie that, much like The Wizard of Oz, our society will still cherish ten generations from now on formats and devices we couldn't even dream of existing in the modern age. This is a truly special work, and it will forever be remembered for its unparallelled perfection.
