E.T. the Extra Terrestrial
If you haven't seen this iconic movie, you've definitely seen the references. A group of kids on bikes, with an alien in the basket, flying up and over the house in the silhouette of the moon. This movie defined an entire generation, and for good reason!
Family Ties
The story follows a young boy who discovers an alien that must find a way to get home. The two help each other along their journeys. The idea for the film came from an imaginary friend that the director formulated after his parents officially separated.
