E.T

Here's a story about a cute little alien, landing on earth and making friends. Sounds simple enough, and not like a very interesting film. You'd be wrong to think that. If the theme tune doesn't get you interested then I don't know what will.
What's funny about E.T is that you have this little boy, Elliot who is somewhat alienated in his school; he's quite lonely and only really has himself as company. Send an Extra Terrestrial  to earth in Elliot's town-surprisingly, you'll find that a boy can be friends with one! Elliot quickly befriends E.T, and decides to teach him various things that humans do. Soon enough, the adorable Gertie finds out what's happening, and decides to stay in on the secret along with their older brother Greg.

It might not sound like a strong plot or something which will keep you interested, however, you'll probably end up being hooked to it...making it a film to watch at Christmas! It's a wonderful family film-meaning yes, adults and kids will love it-I'm 18 and I love it more than ever.
It's well known from the iconic scene where Elliot is riding his bike past the moon, with E.T tucked up and cosy in his basket...and who could say no to seeing a cute alien like him!

P.S. Remember your tissues, you're gonna need them for this one!
