    Here I am watching the whole video of the making of the film and one minute before it ends, and the scene comes on where E.T. says, "I'll be right here.:' and a tear rolled down my cheek. Now THAT is a powerful film and a character that you could actually believe and feel.

    My first cinematic experience at the age of 4 in Korea. Too young to read subtitles, but the laughter and genuine tears remain the same even now.

    The soundtrack makes this movie even more special. Perfect cast, music, and you have a movie that still reaches your heart 40 years later...And thank you Steven for not making a sequel, because this film must remain untouched. So yes, "i'll be right here"...

    So, the studio had a global hit on their hands, and of course wanted a SEQUEL! Spielberg ended up saying to them, that he didn’t have a strong enough vision for a sequel and that the first film ended perfectly, thus, should never be re-visited.. And schockingly the studio actually AGREED!!!?…. Amazing 🙏❤️

    Melissa was a really pretty woman. May she rest in peace.
