One of my favorite movies of all time! I've seen it 30 to 40 times. It's amazing on the big screen with surround sound. Thank you. You reacted just like I did the first time!

I have it on a DVD, I wish they would show THAT version on line somewhere! It's an amazing moment and don't understand WHY that wasn't the ending they used.

2025-12-03 13:18:09 +0000 UTCThem's fight'n words! π He has a number of amazing movies to pick from: E.T., Jaws, The Goonies, Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln, and Schindler's List come to mind. I'd also add "Band of Brothers" miniseries to that list as he was an executive producer along side Tom Hanks.

2025-11-30 15:48:51 +0000 UTCYes, the original 1971 version. Every time it came on TV my sister and I would watch it. Probably a dozen times. Never seen the newer one.

2025-11-30 05:05:55 +0000 UTCYou need to see Contact with Jody Foster. Seeing you love Close Encounters and Arrival you will love Contact. And because you loved Martian I know you will love Passengers.

2025-11-27 21:38:52 +0000 UTCI have a dear friend that I met at work in the 90s. She and I bonded over love of aliens, Bigfoot, El chupacabra. π I still have a mug that she brought me when she took a little trip to Vegas and drove with her friends up to Area 51! I just gifted her a month membership because you watched this. I hope can convince you to watch Mars Attacks so she will get a chance to watch that as well! π½πΈπ

2025-11-27 19:22:11 +0000 UTCHey Amber - I received a message from scammers on this movie post on your YouTube channel asking me to join your discord. Theyβre claiming itβs you and using your profile image & everything so just a heads up. Once I joined the discord channel he/she started asking questions about me & got pushy when I asked why, π Thatβs when I realized it wasnβt you. Been following long enough to know that you wouldnβt act like that. Just wanted to let you know.

2025-11-27 19:20:19 +0000 UTCGreat reaction.π₯ΉπYou can see the profound influence on film in this genre like "Independence Day" (1996) with Will Smith that included multiple "easter eggs" in homage to this film like the creeping shadow of the alien ship moving across the surface of the moon and earth or the "welcome wagon" helicopter using the same sequential lights to communicate to the aliens before being blasted.π€¦ββοΈπ€£Thank you Amber and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.π

2025-11-27 10:19:26 +0000 UTCYou ask "why the birds?" It comes from coal miners that used canary's to detect toxic gases, primarily carbon monoxide because of the canary's high metabolism rate, the canary would pass out or die before the miners. Now you understand the expression "canary in a coal mine".

2025-11-27 06:18:22 +0000 UTCI was born in the 70's so this has always been a top fave movie. I think you'd love the mini series Taken. Another alien sci fi with Dakota Fanning

2025-11-27 05:04:40 +0000 UTCThis was such a great, classic movie and a great re-watch! I know I saw it back then, but not sure I saw it in the theater. Towards the end, where they seemed to be playing a musical game, it reminded me of the electronic game Simon from the late 70s (that it seems they still sell on Amazon!). It had 4 colored quadrants, and it would flash a sequence of colors and you had to match the sequence to move on. The sequences got longer and more complex as you went on. For a funny take on alien invasions, you might like 'Mars Attacks!' (1996). Also, for shorter (not movie length) laughs you should check out the 'Close Encounter' skits from SNL with Kate McKinnon (and guest host Ryan Gossling).

2025-11-27 03:54:52 +0000 UTC"Y'all act right when the aliens come!" Now that's great advice.

2025-11-27 03:14:36 +0000 UTCYou have to imagine seeing the mothership rise up above the mountain for the first time on a theater screen. It. was. awesome.
Michael Griffin
2025-11-27 02:43:59 +0000 UTCFirst I'll say that when this movie came out everybody knew those 5 musical notes and we heard them all over the place. Second, I think you have the wrong Idea about the returnees. They weren't abducted. The pilots of flight 19 were lost at sea in the bermuda triangle with no trace, so the idea is they were rescued somehow by these aliens while not aging. Barry the boy was taken but he was returned unharmed and was never scared. Roy gets chosen to go with them because he had the close encounter and was curious about them.

2025-11-27 02:39:05 +0000 UTCFUN! This was magnificent on the big screen. See if you can spot Lance Henriksen appearing as a minor character.
BRT
2025-11-27 02:27:06 +0000 UTCThis wasn't Truffaut's only acting role. He's appeared in at least twelve films, though often uncredited, but in 1978 he had the co-starring lead in "The Green Room", which he also directed.

2025-11-27 02:13:03 +0000 UTCthe mothership played the Jaws theme at the end of its communication with the scientists
Karl Kraus
2025-11-27 02:00:41 +0000 UTCAnother space epic from this era that I think you'll enjoy but doesn't get a lot of attention is "Starman" with Jeff "The Dude" Bridges. A star studded cast, and FULL of heart and mystery.

2025-11-27 01:53:19 +0000 UTC1. Dark Skies, 2. Fire in the Sky, 3. Nope, Are others you can watch also. Memorization was good during that time with paper maps and book maps. It was a nightmare. Haha. Did anyone else notice the Jaws melody in one scene?

Karl Kraus
2025-11-27 01:16:41 +0000 UTCSaw this in the theater. Love this for so many reasons.... Using the "Thomas guide " maps, I had to learn them as a hot air balloon pilot and crew chief. The nagging feeling trying to recognize something in your subconscious and no idea what it is, this movie helped me work through identifying the ability to know things about people and passed away people when I had no reference... That sounds weird but this movie helped.

2025-11-27 00:34:30 +0000 UTCif you remember watching Jaws way back when in the early days of your reactions, richard dreyfuss (roy) was the oceanography expert Hooper that helped hunt the shark During the making of Jaws, dreyfuss found out Spielberg was writing close encounters and wanted to star in it the mother of Barry (the little boy who was abducted) played the mother from A Christmas Story (and you've seen that if you remember) Fun fact: the young boy who played Barry is from my home state of Georgia! the french guy is a man named francois truffaut, who was a New Wave director in this period of time (the mid-late 70s); this was his only acting role john williams was nominated for original score for this movie; the funny thing is he was nominated for star wars the same year (1977); he's so great he beat himself in the process

2025-11-27 00:04:11 +0000 UTCOh wow. I havenβt seen this sinceβ¦ I was sitting in a theatre watching it in 1977. At the time, I loved it. Weβll see if I still do. π Ty Amber.

2025-11-27 00:01:39 +0000 UTCHave been looking forward to this one.π«΅π Depending on the version/edition of the movie you may catch a glimpse of the actor Carl Weathers (R.I.P.) "Apollo Creed" of Rocky movie fame in his first cinematic appearance. Such an influential sci fi film. From images to music by the Legendary John Williams who imo provides the soundtrack for modern film. Thank you so much!!!π₯Ήπ₯°πΏπ₯π«΅ππ
