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

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 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.

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.

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!

Yes. We watched it on a family movie night.

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

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

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.

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

It was such good movie tho

It’s old. Probably not.

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.

It was from 1982.

have your kids ever saw the movie ET? for some reason my 14 year old never watched it and neither did any of his friends..
