Even after almost 40 years and countless times of watching, it still brings a tear to my eye, it's very heart warming.
Ignore the ignorant bad reviews, it's nothing like ET, as some one accused it of being a rip off. It's a love story with a man from outer space. Worst film ever is another one, boy you are lucky to have missed most of the Sci-Fi channels productions, they suck, this one doesn't, Sure it's a bit dated but then so is ET.
As for the complaints about Jeff Bridges acting, he was playing an alien in a foreign, to him, body, if he had acted like a normal human, that wouldn't have been believable to me. It even melted someone's mind, I'm surprised he had a mind to melt.
I believe that is how the USA would treat an alien if he came to earth, if you don't understand it, shoot it.
I think some reviewers just hate anything they watch.
