E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1985r)

About the Item

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1985r) - FRAMED Photo Still (8 X 10 Inches) 1985 re-release Universal b&w still #5255-R1. E.T. and Elliott (Henry Thomas) see the space ship that will take E.T. "home." This is an original studio-issued still from the 1985 re-release of Steven Spielberg’s beloved masterpiece E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Issued by Universal Pictures, the still was used in cinemas to promote the film’s return to the big screen just three years after its record-breaking debut. Cultural Significance of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: Released in 1982 and re-released in 1985 to overwhelming demand, E.T. was a landmark film that reshaped popular culture and redefined the emotional potential of blockbuster cinema. • A universal story of childhood: At its core, E.T. is about loneliness, trust, and the longing to belong. Spielberg drew from his own experience of his parents’ divorce, making it deeply personal yet instantly relatable for children and adults alike. • Genre-defining: E.T. fused science fiction with heartfelt family drama, pioneering a wave of emotionally intelligent genre films. It was sci-fi not about spectacle—but about connection. • Cultural juggernaut: The film became the highest-grossing film of all time (until Jurassic Park), spawned toys, books, cereal box promotions, and even a theme park ride. It became a global phenomenon. • Legacy of visual storytelling: Spielberg’s ability to craft wonder through light, silhouettes, and John Williams’ soaring score elevated E.T. into myth. The bicycle flying across the moon is now one of cinema’s most iconic images. • Re-released with reverence: By 1985, audiences were already nostalgic for E.T.—a testament to how deeply it had already embedded itself into the cultural psyche.
