Even well 'ard boys and their dads cried at ET. A friendly pot-bellied little extra-terrestrial is abandoned by his fellow aliens
and has to survive on earth until they are able to come back and
rescue him.
Alone in the world, he bumps into a boy called Elliott who teaches him how to
speak, dress up in women's clothes and look like a teddy bear. They
have adventures together and ET makes Elliott and his friends fly
when they are being chased by the police.
When ET started dying because he was missing home, the bawling audience reached for the tissues. Luckily
he gets better, his ship comes to get him and everyone lives
happily ever after.
