Classic UFO/alien flick. Richard Dreyfus does an awesome job, and the whole movie makes you hope that we are not alone........ I bought it because I think it is well written and well acted. No blood and gore was necessary to entertain and make us think.
I do believe in aliens, I do believe in aliens..............Great movie on the subject and entertaining to boot. Dreyfus, as usual, is a show stealer. Great new appearance and exposure for Belinda Dillon. A good watch.
This movie doesn't lose a thing with age. It's a classic movie about extraterrestrial beings and how we can relate with them, learn from them and perhaps find a new understanding of our own lives and loves.
I've always loved Stevens Speilberg's earlier movies. He used innovative ways to make the images come to life on the screen. I bought this DVD because I didn't have a copy as part of my collection. When I did just a random search on day, I found someone was selling a collector's edition on DVD. So, naturally I just had to have it! I love it!
I enjoyed how this alien type movie took a different turn than most others. It will forever remain a long time movie bestseller and I think that those who enjoy alien movies will definitely enjoy this one.
There is only ONE Close Encounters. You cannot make a Close Encounters 2 or anything else that would come remotely close to the way this country and the world felt at that time about UFOs. DON'T miss the chance. BUY IT!!!
