| Yes because I chose it when it was my turn for family movie night when my son was around 8 or 9. He never would have selected it on his own though. |

| Yes, they've all seen it. We watch the classics - Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Goonies, etc |

| I traumatized my dd by showing it to her when she was 6. She didn’t act scared, but apparently it really did a number on her. She’s 15 now and thinks of it as a scary movie. I wish I’d waited until she was a bit older. |

| No. We don't watch a lot of oldies. |

| My kids watched it and loved it (although one got freaked out by the end). |

| My kids loved it at around 8 and 10 but then my 10 year old was sobbing and had to leave when he thought ET was going to die. I had to tell him he lives to finish the movie. My younger one has never cried in a movie ever ("It's fake mom!") but she cries at 30 second ASPCA commercials all the time! |

| It wasn't a big deal for either me or my husband, so I doubt we'd do ET. We might pick something of a similar age for family movie night, though, like we did Great Muppet Caper a few months ago. |

| Yes of course. My teens have watched all of the old classics. We are a big movie family. They have also seen Al the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, James Bond, plus all the Christmas and Halloween classics, etc. |

| Yes, my kids (12 and 14) have seen ET. If it weren't for COVID, though, I don't know if they would have seen it. We watched most family movies made in the past 40 years during that time. ET barely made the 40 year cut off. |

| Yes! Great movie, I saw it in the theater in 1972 and wept. Learned movies can provoke emotion! |
