Phoning Home Again: `E.T.' 30 Years Later

How old is too old to sob like a little girl at "E.T. _ the Extra-Terrestrial"? Not 40, apparently.

The Steven Spielberg film that would become a 1980s pop-culture phenomenon is coming out on Blu-Ray for the first time Tuesday _ 30 years, four Academy Awards and nearly $800 million after its theatrical release. To commemorate this, theaters across the country recently showed a digitally re-mastered version of the film for one night only.

Being a total geek for "E.T.," I jumped at the chance to see it again in a theater. And yes, I dug up my old red hoodie and bought some Reese's Pieces for the occasion.

  1. E.T. is always my reference for how few movies I've seen in my life. I'm 35 years old and I've never even seen E.T.
