E.T. and Friends: Magical Movie Visitors (1982)

Glad I Taped it!

A quasi documentary/comedy special which is actually a 45 minute long commercial for E. T. Robin Williams (with original SNL cast members helping out) does a great job walking us through the first 60 years of Sci-Fi cinema. Using some great old clips from the silent era, Universal in the 40's & 50's and grade "B" classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space through the 70's. We see Aliens, Ships, Creepy Kids, the dawn of man and early moon landing. All with comedy skits with Robin Williams and friends. What's really great about this is that the comedy is done with reverence to the material, never making fun of the subject matter.
