Are there any other fans of this film around here? Seeing this movie as a child really sparked my interest in science fiction, aliens, and UFOs.

Agreed.

Also known for being responsible for the worst video game of all time.

I liked E.T. a lot as a kid, but I was never a HUGE fan of it. I did like it enough to have an E.T. stuffed animal, and my mom's infamous attempt to give me an E.T. cake (I think we all remember how that turned out, even if the thread is gone now).

I remember being pretty thrilled to get this toy one time at McDonald's.

Not everyone can make riding a bicycle in the air look realistic, but kudos to the special effects artist that did it in E.T.

Ha, I just watched this the other day on Netflix. I've heard there was a release that censored the "penis breath" line is that true?? One the most iconic and funniest parts of the movie. The Netflix version has the original line, but not the guns.
