I love watching Pixar and K-Pop Demon Hunters with my kids, but I've also begun carefully introducing them to the classics. They don't come more classic than Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - and I'm happy to tell you it's as magical today as it ever was.
Spielberg's 1982 film is an excellent family film for cosying up on the sofa over the holidays. Bolstered by John Williams' stirring soundtrack, it's full of childlike wonder, and it also offers an accomplished cinematic experience full of striking visuals and heartfelt moments. Rated 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, E.T. is being removed from Netflix streaming in January, so you've got time for a festive viewing.
