For those who have previously seen E.T., this is a chance to recapture something. And for those who haven't, this is an opportunity to see a movie that, at its best, is almost as special as its reputation indicates.
Top CriticMore intimate than spectacular, E.T. is carried less by wow factors than by its funny, moving yarn that holds up well after two decades.
Top CriticIt's a classic, and how many times does one get the chance to see a classic in a movie theater any more?
Yes, li'l E.T.'s heart light still burns bright. Now, feel free to go sob in your popcorn.
Yes, it's as good as you remember. In fact, even better.
Top CriticMore than anything, the tender intelligence and sweet humor of E.T. remind us how much cinematic shorthand has truncated emotion in the mad rush toward special effects.
Just as moving, uplifting and funny as ever.
A time machine, a journey back to your childhood, when cares melted away in the dark theater, and films had the ability to mesmerize, astonish and entertain.
For the most part, the film does hold up pretty well.
Spielberg's first real masterpiece, it deserved all the hearts it won -- and wins still, 20 years later.
Top CriticPretty much the same as it ever was. And just as good.
Top CriticA sublime modern fairy tale, a movie that, if anything, looks subtler, darker, and more intimate now than it did when originally released.
Top CriticThe individual efforts of the artisans and performers make the film one for the ages.

Unquestionably a classic...anyone whose heart isn't touched by 'E.T.' probably doesn't have one.
The tenderness of the piece is still intact.
Top CriticA whole new generation of kids will have the chance to see the magic of the lovable title character [on the big screen]...
What doesn't this film have that an impressionable kid couldn't stand to hear?
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll have a great time. Don't miss this rare opportunity to view this great motion picture on the big screen.
It remains a timeless classic: it blew my mind when I saw it as a kid, and watching it again 20 years later, I still adored it.
