    About

    “Steven Spielberg’s E. T The Extra-Terrestrial envelops you in the way that his Close Encounters of the Third Kind did. It’s a dream of a movie — a bliss-out.” – The New Yorker

    After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth, the being is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas). Bringing the extraterrestrial into his suburban California house, Elliott introduces E.T., as the alien is dubbed, to his brother and his little sister, Gertie (Drew Barrymore), and the children decide to keep its existence a secret. Soon, however, E.T. falls ill, resulting in government intervention and a dire situation for both Elliott and the alien.

    The Speaker:
    The Colonial’s 7:00 PM screening of ‘E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial’ will be hosted by Chris Mich, a classic film nerd, who has been published in Artifact Analysis, Journal of Science Fiction, The Keaton Chronicle, and Film Score Monthly. Chris has appeared on TCM, Film366, and multiple film history podcasts. This year, Chris’s classic film blog Digging Star Wars focuses on 40 FILMS IN ROBOTECH – a list of classic movies, including E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial, mentioned or referenced in that groundbreaking 1980s anime series.
