I was eleven the year E.T. came out. This movie was a joy to see on the big screen. But my first time watching it was not at any old ordinary theater. My first time seeing E.T. was at a drive-in theater. It was so much more magical and special watching it under the stars. It was the perfect way for the 11-year-old me to watch it. That is one of my most cherished memories.
I was 12. Not the drive-in but it was the 4th of July and we went to see fireworks right after.
I was negative 7 years old. lol.
@@StaticBlaster lol.
I was 11 too. I was literally trying everything in my power to hold back the tears on a few occasions.
E.T. getting close to death was the saddest thing in the movie when I was a kid
I was somewhere between 4 and 7 years old when I saw it (I think it was a re-release) I remember I was crying so loud when E.T is laying in the river that my dad got me out of the theater. Which annoyed me cause even if I was sad I wanted to know what happens next. Anyways, I saw the rest of the movie a few years later.
best movie ever made
I have a buddy who finally saw it for the first time at my place (we're in our 30s), and... idk, didn't get it I guess. Said people only like it because of nostalgia... infuriating.
You gotta watch Paul. She won’t be afraid of aliens after that one.
Spielberg said that little Drew Barrymore was convinced E.T. was real on the set. So her emotions interacting with him were genuine. This movie takes you on a journey of emotions like you said. It was very entertaining watching the two of you react to this for the first time. It won’t be the last time you see it I guarantee. It’s one of those iconic movies you watch again and again.
Aww thank you so much! I absolutely loved little Barrymore - what an experience for her!
@@maplenutsreact agreed
@@maplenutsreactThe ET operators would interact with little Drew to keep her believing he was real.
@@maplenutsreactthat’s the reason Spielberg is actually her godfather bc of what her parents did to her
ET is actually a film about divorce. Spielberg's own parents divorced when he was young, and he put a lot of personal experiences into the film. He also has always been interested in UFOs and Aliens. So there are a lot of personal touches to the film, which is why his films, especially early films stand out so much. Even a film he only helped with the screenplay, such as Poltergeist, has personal moments sprinkled within it. Which ET was filmed the same time Poltergeist was, and both films are 1982 releases.
1982 is probably the most insane years for film. Tons and tons of highly acclaimed and popular films released then. If you made a list of films to see, solely based around a 1982 release, you would react to some of the most popular films in cinema.
Oooh that's very good to know! So we need to watch more 1982 movies ❤
@@maplenutsreact try the classic star wars movie from 1977
He also put a lot of himself into Robert's character. Spielberg stated he used to tease his siblings a lot as they were growing up.
My 12yr old self saw this in the theater when it came out, and cried my eyes out. My 54yr old self still cries when I watch this movie.
Yeah, I was fighting back the tears in the theater when I was 11.
Next logical step : Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, then The Fifth Element. Those aren't as scary as Alien.
Oh yes!! I was hoping for more recommendations for non scary alien movies! Thank you so much ❤
@@maplenutsreact Also, Space Balls, the Mel Brooks sci-fi space spoof isn't scary, but so many of the jokes in it depend on having seen previous movies like Star Wars, Alien, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, etc. that you wouldn't get many of the inside jokes. The Fifth Element, on the other hand, has Chris Tucker as you've never seen him.
Add to the list Flight of the Navigator
I remember a friend telling me once that movie is really good! I'll add it to the list, thank you! @@vernonjones8304
"Not as scary as Alien" has big "damning with faint praise" energy. While you're at it, tell them the dialog isn't as stilted as Attack of the Clones and the special effects aren't as pointlessly over-the-top as Shaolin Soccer.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is another Spielberg must-watch!
Very different in tone from E.T., but it's still an amazing movie even today.
In some sense, E.T. is kind of a sequel to Close Encounters. That's what Spielberg was thinking on the set of Close Encounters as they were wrapping up production.
"I think this is probably the only movie that has a nice alien", she says, confident in her extensive knowledge of movies. :D
I find it so heartwarming that Drew Barrymore thought ET was alive. "We found Drew over there just talking away to E.T. and so we let director Steven Spielberg know," said actress Dee Wallace. "And so Steven, from that time on, appointed two guys to keep E.T. alive so whenever Drew came over to talk to him, he could react to her." Keeping the magic alive!
I think Drew Barrymore had a great child performance 2 years later as a lead in the Stephen King adaptation of Firestarter (1984).
That's so adorable!! Actually having two crew members to make sure E.T. was alive for her is so amazing
This film actually led to a fight between makeup artist Rick Baker and Spielberg. At the time, Baker was working on the aliens for NIGHT SKIES (Spielberg's alien horror film) and John Landis' wolf effects for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON at the same time. When Spielberg changed directions to make E.T., Baker said it was not possible to literally design and execute new aliens for E.T, so fast. The two argued so heatedly that once their meeting was over, Baker told his entire team to exit the building and bring all their work (convinced Spielberg would throw everything out).
Spielberg replaced Baker on ET with Carlos Corodini (who had done the alien creatures for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS), and Baker ended up winning the first Oscar for Best Makeup.
A few years later, director William Dear wanted Baker to create his Bigfoot character for HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS, but because the movie was being produced by Spielberg, Baker was convinced Spielberg would veto him. However, Spielberg agreed Baker was the best man for the job, and the two reconciled their issues. Baker would win his second Oscar for HARRY and worked on other Spielberg projects including GREMLINS 2 and the MEN IN BLACK films.
Holy! I had no idea there was so much going on behind the scenes!
This year E.T. will be 42 years old. I can't believe it's already been almost two years since I saw E.T. on the big screen for its 40th anniversary and before that I saw E.T. in 2017 for its 35th anniversary. I'll be watching this again in 2027 and/or 2032 for its 45th and 50th anniversaries, respectively.
I remember that in the 80s the BMX bicycles were all the rage! I don't know of any other brand that was so known and desired.
BMX was the most well known. The most desirable was probably a Mongoose bicycle.
2 movies with bmx bikes, Rad! And bmx bandits with a young nicole kidmen
I had a blue supergoose. My dad spent a lot on it. I’ll never forget.
Henry Thomas became an acclaimed actor, most notably, Legends of the Fall with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt.
"Be good" was the first words ET said to Gerdie watching TV, and what he said to her at the farewell.... "I'll be right here" the first words Elliot said to ET when he went to get food, and what ET said to him at the farewell.
Back in '82/83 I was scared, as a 5 year old. Refused to watch it for the rest of my childhood. Another TV screening in 1988 - I fled upstairs, because I couldn't take it.
Such was the power of this. Not because I was scared, just the emotional horror. I can watch it now, as a 45 year old, with the Blu-ray - and the emotional horror is still there.
John William's score is utterly amazing.
ET is not the only movie with a nice alien. Off the top of my head, you have flight of the navigator, Starman, the Day, the Earth stood still, the original, and the remake. autobots from transformers, Terranova, cocoon, the abyss, this is just some off the top of my head. If you actually spent some time and looked into it, you’d probably find many more.
Starman is so underrated.
@@laurakali6522 agree it's a very good movie.
Theres a reason why ET went for Yoda at Halloween- His species can be seen on Coruscant in the republic representitive coloseum briefly in Star Wars Phantom Menace...so he recognised Yoda LOL
I never knew and always wondered why, thats pretty cool.
E.T.'s species are also Force users as demonstrated by his powers of telekinesis, healing, and empathic connecting to other beings.
@@Easy_Skanking Its kinda weird how close to canon that is lol.
All of that is after the fact and is not Canon. It was just a Easter egg gag.
@@YeeLeeHaw Party pooper.
Patricia Anderson Welsh was the voice of ET and she was actually in the film as a trick or treater dressed as a nurse lady with the dog.
hey guys... just came from your Lord of the Rings 1st movie watch... I guess I'm not the only one, who feels reminded of Gollum, watching E.T.?! 😎
I do. In fact, Dobby, Gollum, E.T. look somewhat similar.
I love that subtle little ET moment during the goodbye where he gets down to Drew’s size to not seem intimidating towards her and then back up to the older brother’s height because he’s taller. The sweetest alien of all time 🫶🏻
Starman is a must watch.
Great movie and Jeff Bridges was even nominated for an academy award for his performance in it.
@@MLJ7956 oh, I didn’t know he was nominated. Very deserving.
Saw E.T. for the first time in theatres when it was rereleased. 20th anniversary Walkie talkie edition
Hey, I appreciate you taking time away from your motorcycle cop duties to react to some of our favorite movies. Been great fun so far.
Hahaha omg
When I was in kindergarten, I remember eating Play-Doh as well. lol
I recommend two videos that can be found on youtube. First, Henry Thomas' audition tape for Elliot. Second, the 4 minute (NOT the 2 minute one that edited down) short film. E.T. Returns.
We'll check those out, thank you!! We both really love watching extra movie stuff like that.
E.T is not the only movie with "good" aliens. Check out "Arrival".
Right on with the Pizza observation
26:18 What you two said right there reminded me of 2014 true story when 16 year old Justin Casquejo, sneaked in the under construction World Trade Center in Manhattan. It was just 13 years after 9/11, the site was supposed to be under the highest level of security.
That moustache 😂😂😂
How can anyone take him seriously?!
Fun Fact: Those were real doctors and were unscripted. Steven Spielberg asked them to just do whatever they would do in that situation. Such a powerful scene!
Enjoyed your reaction. Glad I found your channel.
Aww yay! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
One of my favorite films of all time. And THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING A SEQUEL. But I'm a little disappointed you two DIDN'T cry. What's wrong with you? Hehehe. At the time of the movie's release, this movie was a phenomenan in it's own right. The killer is that it was really a kid's movie, but it was the ADULTS who really reacted to it. One of my all time favorite films.
12:08 I can’t believe you said this-my friend and I had an entire debate about what ET probably smells like. Our settled opinion is he’s probably somewhere between a wet dog and wet dirt. Greta reaction btw, thank you!
Hahaha omg I love your answer ❤
I saw this at 10. I rode my bike to the theater. After I thought I could fly
I'm not crying, you're crying
Damn you Spielberg!
When I was really small and watched this, I had no idea what Mexico was. I thought it sounded like a delicious treat.
There is a Christmas reunion featuring an adult Elliot (with original actor)on an Xfinity commercial. It is available to view on RUclips.
I probably saw E.T. on VHS at some point when I was a kid, but I actually don't remember when I saw it. I was born in late 1986 so I definitely didn't see it in theatres, and we never owned it on DVD, so it must've been on VHS in the early to mid '90s when I saw it. So, Chandra, does that mean you haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies because there are lots of aliens in that franchise? Great video.
Arrival with Amy Adams is probably the best Alien movie made in the last maybe 20 years.
I was bored out of a mind in that movie. To each his own. Loved Dune though.
I agree. It's a slow burn but still the best alien movie in the last 20 years.
Interesting you mentioned the keys. In the script and the book he never had a name and was simply called "keys".
Ooooo I like that... very mysterious
The show "Legends of Tomorrow" did a pretty cool episode that was sort of an adaptation of ET. There are so many ET Easter eggs in it, down to an appearance by the jungle jim dome.
The bike scene is one of my favorites
One of the first movies I can remember watching. I mean at that age I was just like "alien funny" and now watching it as an adult you get all the feels moments like a ton of bricks. I appreciate your reaction a lot! From another Canadian Jordan, I'll be back here!
Haha omg, another Canadian Jordan!! ❤And you're so right, this movie seriously gave us the feels too haha.
Another GREAT Steven Spielberg “Alien” movie is “Close Encounters of the Third Kind “ - being afraid of alien movies I assume you never watched it, but I highly recommend it. Late 1970’s but mind blowing effects!
32:27 If you want nice aliens, I suggest "StarMan", and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
i haven't seen StarMan but I have seen all of Spielberg's alien films.
StarMan is a great movie. I highly recommend it.@@StaticBlaster
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I understand why Chandra would have been afraid of aliens and too spooked to watch this movie when she was younger. After Alien (1979) there was plenty of justification for one's trepidations about alien movies. I saw this movie with my mom when I was a teenager, originally thinking that my girlfriend wouldn't be interested in a movie about an alien. Two weeks later I took my girlfriend to see it. She cried her eyes out when E.T. "died", then punched me in the arm afterward for not telling her that he wasn't really dead.
Peter Coyote, who plays the main scientist, actually auditioned for Indiana Jones during the making of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, but he was so nervous, he literally broke a lamp just walking into the room. Spielberg said if RAIDERS had been a comedy, Coyote would've easily gotten the role.
When he was casting ET, Spielberg was inspired by Coyote's failed INDY audition and brought him in to play the role to make the character less threatening.
They're botanist aliens. and btw thanks for reacting to my favorite movie of all time.
He points to Elliot's head to say he'll be in his memory "I'll be right here." I like that he didn't point to his chest, it's more poignant and real the way they did it. The movie's sentimental but in a smart way. It deals with divorce, and loss and growing up. I often think that Spielberg forces sentimentality in his movies where it's not needed, but because E.T. is about childhood innocence it makes sense.
I did go on the ET ride at Universal Studios Florida. It was fun.
A speak and spell, air popper, and a blender base are just a few things E.T. used to make his phone
Hahaha E.T. clearly knows more about making phones than I do
What has three balls and comes from outer space? E.T., The Extra Testicle!
When I was 7 years old in 1987, they had us dissect cow eyeballs.
7 years old!? That's so young!
also- theres a short with orignal actors- ET came back to visit Elliott when he was grown up. on YOU TUBE.
Is that a cornfield ?, nope, looks like it though to give the back of that house a creepy feel. , this Neighborhood is supposedly in Southern California.
Back in the 80s, pizza was still mostly being made by Italian Americans in little family restaurants. And it was good. I never knew there was such a thing as substandard pizza until post-college. Believe it or not, some of the best pizza still around is in New Jersey. You have to know where to go, but you can still find the real deal.
I've never thought about what E.T. smells like, but I feel like he would smell kind of earthly, like mud and grass after it rains.
The actor that plays Elloitt plays young Norman Bates in Psycho 4. Fun Fact about this movie the girl Elloitt kissed is Baywatch hottie Erika Eleniak. Talk about one hell of a first kiss
Sci-Fi movies with kind and/or well-meaning aliens: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977), the original The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), Galaxy Quest (well, mostly) (1999)
That manner of dissecting a frog was actually common at one time for 6th through 12th graders. The chloroform does not kill the frog, so its heart is still beating during the dissection. (The cruelty of which is probably why it was discontinued.) By the time I got to dissect a frog, I was in 10th grade and the frogs were dead and preserved in formaldehyde. My sister's class dissected small pigs.
I was in eighth grade. I can still remember that terrible smell.
yeah i love the look of the pizza in this movie and in the original tmnt movie.
Great Reaction! A fabulous movie about Aliens is ARRIVAL with Amy Adams. Written and directed by Denis Villeneuve who also did Dune and Bladerunner 2049. You won't be disappointed.
Loved this movie when I was little! It was the scientists that scared me.
First. Nice reaction. Chandra - don't watch 'The Thing' (later release)... and a bunch of other films!! This is my reaction to 'new' youtubers...
My take. There are dozens of films each year from 1940 to today that are 'good'. Don't let the fact that films are black and white prevent you from watching.
Don't know what you like but a few of my early favorites are... 1951 Day the Earth Stood Still, 1956 Forbidden Planet, 1968 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, 1968 Lion in Winter.
I could go on and on. Wishing you the best in you adventure discovering movie gems of the past. Take Care.
You're so kind! Thank you so much for your recommendations ❤ I've actually always wanted to see Day the Earth Stood Still! I love reading sci-fi and I'm pretty sure that's a classic sci-fi story that a lot of stories now are inspired by!
Man, your 80's pizza reference, and ESPECIALLY PIZZA PIZZA, is so hard core. From Toronto here. There is no pizza in my neighbourhood that rocks other than Pizzaolio, and that costs a mint for all the toppings and deep dish I want. $51.00 for a large. I remember a place on Queen Street that gave you unlimited toppings and deep dish for 19.99. That was in 2003. Twenty years ago, granted, but shit! How can they not make that work now? I'm convinced they're just not trying enough.
Why the hell am I focusing on the pizza, when you're doing a movie reaction? Focus, Sean! Focus on Chandra's epic eye-rolls and expressions, and Jordan's explicit, laser-focused critique. Gosh, it's like your first time at this, you tyro.
Hello fellow Canadian! Hahaha I very much enjoyed your pizza talk ❤ And your observations of us! Epic eye-rolls and expressions... You flatter me sir!
Nice review...and at19:56 ...real Annabelle doll...
9:49 Fun Fact: His cute eyes were modelled after Albert Einstein's eyes.
Oh wild! I never would have guessed that haha
The race of "E.T." is from the Star Wars Galaxy as seen in The Phantom Menace. E.T. recognizes Yoda on Earth and tries to run to him. How is it possible that there are pop culture Star Wars toys and costumes on Earth? The answer is simple, George Lucas is unknowingly a strong Force Sensitive and through the Force has had visions of the Star Wars Galaxy that he interpreted as inspiration and wrote it all down, including Jar Jar Binx.
While they talked about doing a sequel, they have constantly decided against it. However in 2019, they did a really nice commercial that almost filled in nicely as a sequel 40 years later.
ruclips.net/video/gptokzlnb5Q/видео.html
First movie I ever saw in the theater, I was 5.
You're right about most extra-terrestrials being portrayed as horror devices this was preceded by Splieberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and Robert Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) which are the only two others off the top of my head that put ET's in a positive light.
There was oddly... A sequel idea floating around way back in the 80s.Well,the sequel had evil aliens coming to Earth, and ET comes back to help humans and Elliot fight the evil aliens.
Yeah, I heard about that. I'm glad that idea was scrapped.
Tbh E.T. traumatized me as a kid but when I rewatched this movie hundreds of times in middle school I lost my fear of E.T. and it became my favorite movie of all time.
There was a puppet ET, and animatronic ET, and an actual little person in a suit ET for different scenes.
Elliot is supposed to be 10. I dissected frogs and other things in 6th grade which would have made me 11 I think. Ours were already dead though, in formaldehyde.
Yeah, I’ll never forget that smell.
Other films with friendly aliens include Cocoon, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Flight of the Navigator. There are also some movies with both friendly aliens and hostile aliens: Galaxy Quest springs immediately to mind, and of course the entire Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.
👍
They did a short ET returns clip with the original Elliot as a grown up...
ruclips.net/video/52roM4-5GWs/видео.html
the girl reactor is so pretty
E.T. The nice Jedi.
Hard to tell, but it looks like you watched the re-mastered version, where Spielberg decided to digitally alter the guns carried by the government agents during the chase scene into radios.
I challenge you to watch "Signs"
That's a great movie albeit it still creeps me out towards the end seeing the aliens standing there in the house in the reflection of the television. It gives me the chills.
E.T. is reeal!!
Originally, the candies were supposed to be M&Ms.... ( E.T. thought they were some sort of energy pills . ) and that's when Reece's Pieces decided to step in and fill their shoes.and that's when Reece's Pieces really started going a lot of traction in the market....
I can totally see why. Such good marketing to have your candy in a movie like this!
I heard it was changed due to mars the maker of m&ms didnt want their candy associated with what they thought was a ugly creature.
reeses pieces were launched in conjunction with the movie.
Maybe dim the lights next time, it’s so bright in that room! These movies are supposed to be watched in a darker space (and in a bigger screen) to really appreciate them.
Please watch the movie ARIVAL it is so good.
Lol you can totally eat playdo, it says non toxic in big bold print on the package for just that reason i suspect, lol
Thank you for this. One of my favorite movies. Was Elliot's age when I first saw it.
You guys make a good team and have nice chemistry. And you're both so understated, you don't get in the way of the movie, but still express your reactions.
Awww thank you so much!! ❤
You should watch the movie “Cocoon”, nice aliens
Did you guys know this was almost a horror alien movie?
Haha no way! I'm so glad they didn't make it a horror... I would have had a very different experience!
@@maplenutsreact It was called NIGHT SKIES; basically "Aliens invading a farm". While Spielberg intended to direct it, he got distressed over doing horror during the filming of RAIDERS. He did still connect with parts of the film where an autistic boy befriends one of the nicer aliens and asked the late Melissa Matheson (then Harrison Ford's girlfriend) to do a new take on it (which became E.T.). NIGHT SKIES basically became POLTERGEIST when Spielberg asked Tobe Hooper to direct and Hooper wasn't interested in doing films about aliens, so it was overall changed to ghosts.
"He's a man from outer space and we're taking him to his spaceship."
"Well, can't he just beam up?"
"This is REALITY, Greg."
Let's not be too hard on Keys (Peter Coyote). He does literally nothing wrong and shouldn't be considered a villain. He's just doing his job protecting us from free loading illegal extra-terrestrials and dolphins. Keys is a hero to the #HumanityFirst ideal.
Fun Fact: Feature film debut of C. Thomas Howell and Erika Eleniak.
Ford Galaxy Fact: Yes, that is the VOICE of Harrison Ford as the faceless teacher. Richard Swingler is the physical actor.
Pinocchio's Revenge Fact: Most of the full-body puppetry was performed by a 2'10" tall stuntman, but the scenes in the kitchen were done using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert on walking on his hands.
ER Medics Fact: The doctors and nurses who work on E.T. are all real emergency room technicians. They were told to treat E.T. the same way they would treat a real patient, so that their dialogue and actions would seem as real as possible.
Reese's Legacy Fact: The filmmakers had requested that M&Ms be used to lure E.T., but The Mars company denied their request, fearing that E.T. was so ugly, he would frighten children. Reese's Pieces were used instead, and as a direct result, Reese's Pieces sales skyrocketed. Because of this, more and more companies began requesting that their products be used in movies and Reese's Pieces became a movie theater stable. However contrary to popular belief, this was not the birth of product placement.
Hahaha, omg yes that quote is so good! I was worried Keys was going to be a baddie, but he definitely won me over by the end. These facts are the best!! I Always appreciate learning more about what goes on behind the scenes 😄
You're welcome.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Who says that's an imperative ideal?
most movies involving aliens, depict the aliens as being hostile. In this film the aliens are peaceful
extra terrestrial horticulturists.
I loved that they were horticulturists! That was such a cute detail ❤
E.T. is a great movie and holds a very special place in my heart. And so I was dismayed listening to some of Jordan’s jokes/comments throughout this reaction. Did not find them funny and thought they were more annoying than anything else. Please do better.
Try watching the movie The Blue Yonder it's a good Disney movie about a boy traveling through time
There was an "epilogue" to this story in the form of an Christmas commercial: ruclips.net/video/52roM4-5GWs/видео.html
Oooooh! I want to watch this right now!! But I'm going to wait for Jordan haha
✌👽❤
Can you please react to "Das Boot"? One of the best anti war movies ever produced.
