I somehow missed this while growing up, so it was time to remedy that. Unfortunately, the film hasn't aged well. For 1977, the effects were both terrifying and mesmerizing, but now they look like a lot of lights. As a kid, I wouldn't have cared that the father figure really is an unsympathetic character (all adults are crazy). And who knew some French film director would be in charge of the music selection to speak to the aliens?

Speilberg's own personal favorite work. I cannot deny the quality here and its original approach to the alien invasion genre. Richard Dreyfuss shows pure obsession to prove himself right about the UFO he saw and goes so far as to abandon his family to find it creating an emotional atmosphere to the film. The climax was personally underwhelming, however that does not detract too much from a very solid film
