Across the Moon - E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (7/10) Movie CLIP (1982) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
E.T. elevates the bicycle and takes Elliott (Henry Thomas) on a ride through the nighttime sky.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Both a classic movie for kids and a remarkable portrait of childhood, E.T. is a sci-fi adventure that captures that strange moment in youth when the world is a place of mysterious possibilities (some wonderful, some awful), and the universe seems somehow separate from the one inhabited by grown-ups. Henry Thomas plays Elliott, a young boy living with his single mother (Dee Wallace), his older brother Michael (Robert MacNaughton), and his younger sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore). Elliott often seems lonely and out of sorts, lost in his own world. One day, while looking for something in the back yard, he senses something mysterious in the woods watching him. And he's right: an alien spacecraft on a scientific mission mistakenly left behind an aging botanist who isn't sure how to get home. Eventually Elliott puts his fears aside and makes contact with the "little squashy guy," perhaps the least threatening alien invader ever to hit a movie screen. As Elliott tries to keep the alien under wraps and help him figure out a way to get home, he discovers that the creature can communicate with him telepathically. Soon they begin to learn from each other, and Elliott becomes braver and less threatened by life. E.T. rigs up a communication device from junk he finds around the house, but no one knows if he'll be rescued before a group of government scientists gets hold of him. In 2002, Steven Spielberg re-released E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in a revised edition, with several deleted scenes restored and digitally refurbished special effects.

That shot of the moon with the silhouette of the boy, an alien, riding a bike in
and dare I say, one of the most recognizable movie images in history. 

[emily-xjxv]

the music in this movie is beyond what any other modern composer can pull off. absolutely immaculate.

[jazzyprince]

John Williams is the best composer of all time every time I watch this scene I tear up.

[michaelvega]

1:08 - 1:11 forever one of the most iconic sequences in movie history

[jackoreviewer]

Elliott and E.T. Across the moon such a memorable image

[roberthays]

I feel like the iconicness of the scene comes from the feeling of freedom. It’s magical and the world is kind of their oyster at this moment. They’re out at night when they aren’t supposed to be and they’re roaming the woods freely. Just makes you feel…alive and good at the same time cause they’re on a mission. It’s the ultimate adventure.

[BacklashStudiosWay]

The most iconic scene in film history.

[nosorab]

Elliot: "We'll have to walk from here!"
E.T: "Fuck that!"

[EmoryStudy]

God Henry's acting in this scene is mesmerizing. His facial expressions are so amazing and the moment yells, "Ah Ha!" is so perfect

[BebeLush]

This has to be on of the greatest movie moments ever.  The music, the flying . . . everything about this scene is simply perfect.

[Cyber-Flea]

the music alone from this scene gives me chills

[shanestachwick]

This is the only film to ever make me cry both tears of joy and tears of sorrow. Spielberg’s story, Williams’ score, and the fantastic performances by the cast make this a true masterpiece. Everyone should see this movie.

[slapmyfunkybass]

1980 - Empire Strikes Back, 81 - Raiders of the Lost Ark, 82 - this.

80’s kids were spoilt - glad I experienced it.

1:08 Amblin Entertainment found its own logo.

[SJMJ]

1:08 That shot, though! Absolutely wonderful.

[amidala]

1:08 the most magical shot in any movie, anywhere, period.

[Camop-izkt]

I saw this film at a sneak preview. No one had a clue what to expect. When Elliot soars off the cliff, it was the most joyous reaction of an audience I've ever heard!

[John_oR.]

Without John Williams music this scene would be nothing.

[joshuawatson]

The boy the bike and the moon. Has to be one of the most epic iconic shots ever put on film. Spielberg is amazing

[Koldeman]

This is the penultimate collaboration between a film director and music composer. Just perfect. *wipes tears away every time*
