Science Fiction of the 70's! (50 movies items)

Ay To Zee: My Favorite Films By The Alphabet (26 movies items)

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind is definitely my favorite Sci-fi film of all time. Steven Speilberg's best film, as far as I'm concerned (yep, I like it even better that Jaws, as perfect as that film is). In this one, the aliens have made contact. And at first, that makes us humans afraid. But when we finally come face to face with 'em, we realize that the fear we felt was based more on own insecurites than it was on these bug-eyed long-fingered lil' grey angels from space (though, you h"

My List Of Best and Worst Movie Fathers (50 movies items)

" Roy Neary - Played by Richard Dreyfuss Lesson four of being a father - just because cute little aliens ask you to go into outer space with them, doesn't mean you have to go, especially when you have a wife and kids at home that will always wonder what in the hell happened to you, Elliot knew enough to realize he couldn't go with E.T. when he asked him, and he was just a kid - besides what if the aliens just needed some humans to gestate their young like in Alien - then you'd be sorry."

Unkindest cut: Movies weakened by directors’ cut (13 movies items)

"“I never should have shown the inside of the mother ship,” Steven Spielberg lamented about the “Special Edition” of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, which makes this the rare case of a director regretting his own recut. And for good reason: Having Richard Dreyfuss actually see the aliens he and others had contacted obliquely ruins the hushed mystery of the titular encounters. The thrill of Close Encounters’ climactic standoff between human scientists and the mothership lies in the"

" I watched the directors' cut, which is supposedly the best edition. I like E.T. a little more, but these films are different enough to warrant seeing both. Spielberg and the cinematographer did as great a job as any of Spielberg's films at manipulating the audience's emotions and sense of wonder and awe, especially when the characters have moments of gradual realization and epiphanies as shown through the close-ups and dolly shots AKA the Spielberg face.

" Quote: Close Encounters of the Third Kind is my favourite film of all time. That will always be number one. I can watch it today and it's like a time machine; it completely takes me back to the way I felt when I first watched it as a kid. For me it never dates, it never ages, and it's just perfect.
