1) Do you remember when you first watched it?
Yes I do. Just a couple of months ago as a matter of fact.

2) Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
I knew some people who saw it and said it was really good. I also had a fair amount of knowledge of the film before hand.

3) How was the viewing experience? How did it affect you?
Good film and very entertaining but not that scary for the most part...I don't really regard as it as a "horror" film to be honest...supernatural mystery really.

4) How many times have you rewatched it? Memories? Does it still hold good even today for you?
Not rewatched it since, but plan to go back to it soon.

5) Anything else you wish to share.
I know a lot of people say that Spielberg had a hand in directing at least some of this rather than Tobe Hooper. I can see what they mean as it does have more of the look of a Spielberg film than a Hooper film (budget is probably one of the main reasons). Fun fact: Tobe Hooper was offered by Spielberg to direct a sci-fi horror film, Night Skies. He turned it down, Spielberg decided to direct it himself, dropped the horror angle and re-jigged the plot and now we have E.T.
