E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

There is so much I could write about this movie but I’ll sum it up in a few points: - My grandma owned maybe the world’s smallest VHS collection known to man. It consisted of Balto and E.T. so this got a lot of airtime back in the day even though it terrified me. Watching E.T. will always be associated with a weekend and grandma’s and for that I’m grateful. - This and the Parent Trap are two integral movies of my youth that featured a snack I wasn’t able to eat due to the most embarrassing allergy: peanuts. I was always jealous of my younger sister that could eat Reese’s Pieces like E.T. without dying.  - E.T. scurrying around in full drag was the funniest thing to me as a kid and it still made me have to take it back and watch it again so I could laugh at it twice.
