E.T. (1982)

I had fond memories of watching E.T. as a child. Then I watched it again. 4/10

Explain this one to me. It's one of my favorites.

I just really don't like it anymore. It seems way more dated than something like Jaws which was made five years earlier. The movie seemed terminally long with a few brief moments of enjoyment that are transcended by the score. It is too emotionally contrived and lacking in enough interesting plot development or sense of progression. All my opinion of course. I didn't like any of the acting performances except for Drew Barrymore's. As a kid it was 8/10. I guess this is one that has slipped away with my old age :(
