I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#24 E. T. the Extra-terrestrial

1982
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton, Peter Coyote

I can admit now that growing up, this was never a movie that hit home for me.  Weird, because I like alien movies.  But for some reason, I don't remember liking it as much as I just did when I re-watched it for the first time in maybe 25 years.  This movie is sums up movie making in total.  I just loved it.  Every minute.

Trivia: Spielberg shot most of the film from the eye-level of a child to further connect with Elliot and E.T. 

 Up Next- The Grapes of Wrath
