E.T.

Have seven movies left from the 70s up to 81 I will see with my wife. But I’m starting on 82 alone now.

Modern classic. Been a while since I saw it.

Watched this the other day since it was on Prime. It was good but not great.

Felt the same way. Turned it off about 30 minutes in and watched Seinfeld instead. Maybe the gimmick wore off because everyone is practically in the Truman Show these days and don't care.

Saw it last year. Not bad.
Yeah I fell asleep so I'm finishing it today. It's great fun and the camera work is so ahead of its time.
Ended up liking this more than I thought I would.
