E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The long hug E.T. gives Elliott when they're saying goodbye at the end.
  • I always thought the scene where E.T. is listening to Mary reading Gertie a bedtime story was cute.
  • "I'll...be...right...here."
  • When Elliot returns home on Halloween, the first thing he asks is for Michael to find E.T. Michael risks getting caught by the FBI to save him.
  • This commercial for xfinity (released 37 years after the movie) shows E.T. reuniting with a now-adult Eliot, who now has a family of his own.
