Close Encounters was good. I found Dreyfuss’s character really unlikable, though. Not just because he abandoned his family, either, he just wasn’t interesting or compelling at all to me and I would’ve much preferred his character not even be in the movie.

EDIT: This is a perspective that I don’t normally take, but I think that the Roy character was just a pointless attempt to put a relatable, everyman male lead into the movie. I think it would’ve been way more interesting if the single-mom was the one civilian that the film followed as she researched UFOs and tried to cope with her weird kid’s disappearance and then she finds out there are more people fascinated with the Wyoming mountain than just her when she sees all the people in the helicopter at the military outpost. It would’ve been way more compelling but I doubt that the studios would’ve wanted that kind of female lead in a movie like this and Spielberg probably didn’t want that either. Idk, that’s just my take. I thought she was a million times more interesting than the boring, suburban electrician.
