81. E.T.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
For like the first 60/70 years of film, aliens were either fearsome beasts or awe-inspiring geniuses. Steven Spielberg changed that.
A long-necked reptilian alien with a simple brain and glowy finger and a penchant for Reeses Pieces, E.T. doesn't really seem like he would become a popular character. Or the star of one of the most successful movies ever. But, despite what Hollywood tries to tell us, looks aren't always everything. Sometimes it just takes a beautiful classic boy-meets-alien story, some ridiculous product placement, and a sweet little butt-ugly alien.
"E.T." is such a sweet movie
Defining moment: A near-death E.T. comes back to life. His pale skin illuminated only by his bright, glowing heart. /cries
