After watching E.T., every time I road my bike, I kept hoping I would fly.  E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial moved adults and children like few movies could with its timeless tale of boy meets alien, boy looses alien.  For most men under 30, this is still the secret fantasy.  Steven Speilberg’s story told of Elliot finding a lost alien and helping it return home, but becoming the closest of friends in the process.  E.T. became one of the ten highest grossing films of all time thanks to its ability to make grown ups cry and children fantasize.  Even the famous Reese’s Pieces increased in sales by 65 percent thanks to their product placement in the film.  Few scenes are as climactic, emotional, and exciting as Elliot escaping from the government on his bike, with E.T. in the basket.  A barricade of cops stand in his way, so E.T. raises him into the air, flying against the backdrop of the moon.  Try not to cheer.  I dare you.
