The E.T. movie has been released on Blu-Ray DVD! Do you remember watching E.T. for the first time? I do. I remember crying my eyes out over that adorable little extra-terrestrial. What a fantastic movie! I know E.T. lived on in my heart for a very long time. I still recall my friends and I touching fingers just like E.T. and Elliot would. How we would mimic E.T. saying “Ell-i-ot”. And I will never look at a group of stuffed animals the same way again. What about the beer drinking scene? Oh, the memories this movie brings back. I’m so glad that it has been re-released on Blu-Ray so my children can experience the magic of “E.T. Phone home”. E.T. is truly an American Classic movie.
The new Anniversary Edition (it has been 30 years!!) contains not only the original movie in perfect Hi-Def picture and all-new 7.1 audio, but all-new bonus features including Steven Spielberg & E.T. where the director reflects on his experience making E.T. , the E.T. Journals, Deleted Scenes, the Evolution and Creation of E.T., the Music of E.T. and more.
Along with the DVD I received an E.T. figurine which I plan to keep next to my computer to remind me about my own heartlight. The DVD is available starting October 9, 2012. I hope your family enjoys the love of Elliot, Gertie and E.T. as much as my family does.
In exchange for this review I was provided with a complimentary copy of the DVD and a figurine. All opinions are my own.
