In 1982, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial became the biggest blockbuster of the year, ranking #1 over 16 different weekends. Even today, E.T.

Nominated for nine Academy AwardsĀ® including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Writing and Best Screenplay, the film took home four statuettes for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Sound and Best Music for John Williamsā€™ (Jaws) memorable score. The unforgettable cast includes the adorable Drew Barrymore (Heā€™s Just Not That Into You, Charlieā€™s Angels), Henry Thomas (Dear John, Legends of the Fall), Dee Wallace (10, ā€œSons and Daughtersā€) and Peter Coyote (ā€œLaw & Order: LA,ā€ Jagged Edge).
