Review :
By Ryan Rogers (Memphis, TN)
This is a fantastic film. I don't know when it became cool to diss Spielberg and his movies but I see why it was included as the 24th greaest American movie on AFI's 10th Anniversary list.

Such a powerful movie. It works on so many levels and Henry Thomas gives a wonderful performance.

But the first disc ruins the classic. CGI takes away that realistic feel to movies. No matter how wondeful the advancements are, there's something about CGI that ruins a classic when it's retouched in an unneeded way.

E.T. did not need retouching. It's a perfect film. One of the best I've seen.
