Yeah, I saw this movie in 1977. I gotta be honest. I was six years old or seven years old. It kind of freaked me out. Understandable. Didn't really love the ending. The dad's going on the UFO at the end. I'm like, what the fuck? Dad, are you gonna go? It was like one of those.

I think Steven Spielberg agrees with you right now as well. This movie is just incredible. What was the rewatch like for you, CR?

I wrote my notes. They don't make them like this anymore. That's why you're you. We say this sometimes with the rewatchables. They don't make them like this anymore. The pace is just not like it would be made now. The actors, the patience that he has with the wide shots where now they would have just CGI'd shit. But I watched with my wife and daughter last night, the second time in a week.

And my daughter was like, did they put those stars in? And I'm like, no, they couldn't really do that back then. I think they were just caught lightning in a bottle with Muncie, Indiana in this house. And just everything about it, just everything the way it moves and watching Dreyfuss just lose his mind over the course of 90 minutes. And you stand aside somehow.

And then the last 20 minutes is unbelievable. It's like the ultimate payoff where they go over the mountain and then they look and Melinda Dillon's face kind of does the jaw drop. And then it's like, wait, what's going on here? It ties into a bunch of 70s shit that we'll talk to. But it's just such a cool, constructive movie.

This wasn't like Star Wars. This was kind of its own thing. And the cachet of it was that the guy from Jaws made it. That's the only thing I remember. But it tapped into all this UFO stuff that my experience with UFOs, and I think everybody's was up until this time, was aliens were potentially evil. They're coming to get us. They're going to invade us.

That was like all the programming from the radio stuff in the 30s and 40s. The movie shows in the 50s and 60s. And it was all like, watch out, they're coming. And this movie just flipped it. And they're like, what if they're not coming? What if they're just really interested in finding out more about us? Which now seems like the easiest flip to make, but back then was like a crazy movie.
