How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender adventure about the profound connection between a lonely boy and a stranded alien, balanced between childlike wonder and the ache of inevitable goodbye. Spielberg crafts something rare: a film that feels both magical and genuinely heartfelt.

Reviews
Drew Barrymore is the cutest, and ET is obviously a classic for a myriad of reasons. I just didn't see it until the early 2000s, so it's not MY classic.
