2. The air traffic control scene
That's always been one of my favorite scenes from any movie. Low key, but with building tension and "WTF".

3. Yeah, it's easily in the top 5 all time
John Williams' score makes all the difference the way it soars as the ships fly overhead.

6. A movie close to my heart.


I was 9 when it came out and I dug it more than Star Wars then.

Do you remember the special edition that showed the inside of the CE3K mother-ship after Roy enters it? I don't know if the latest DVD edition has that version or not.

Here's a shot of the prop "aliens" from the interior shot.


and the CE3K miniature model:

I would have run with him in a second...


And any movie with Terri Garr...:)

Movie is perfection.
