Steven Spielbergs 1982 masterpiece and all-around pop culture phenomenon soars to new heights on DVD. The beloved adventure concerns the remarkable friendship between young Elliot (Henry Thomas), whose world has been shattered by his parents divorce, and the stranded alien he befriends and helps to return home. To mark the films 20th anniversary, Spielberg did a bit of tinkering. Most exciting is the restoration of two brief, deleted scenes, as well as enhancements to the Oscar-winning special effects and to the wayward extra-terrestrial. More questionable calls include the digital replacement of the government agents guns with walkie-talkies, and the description of a trick-or-treater as a "hippie," substituting for the original "terrorist." (Purists will find the 1982 version of the film included on both the "Ultimate Collectors Gift Set" DVD and the "Limited Collectors Edition" ) A winner of four Academy Awards, including one for John Williamss transcendent score, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is still wondrous after all these years, brimming with iconic images (a bicycle ride across the sky) and classic moments, such as young Drew Barrymores introduction to E.T.
