Close Encounters of the Third Kind
After seeing a strange object flying in the sky at night, Roy Neary, a cable man, who once at night sees a bright object in the sky that causes him a sunburnt from its powerful light, struggles against investigating in the kind of that object and what is its purpose, the thing that challenges him and leads him to spend much time, searching for the truth.

To get to the bottom line with minimum delay, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a terrific movie, with every possibility of equaling the box office popularity of Star Wars.

It's a big ol' mess of a movie, but an extremely lovable one.

[Spielberg's] new movie is richer and more ambitious than Jaws, and it reaches the viewer at a far more profound level than Star Wars.

Obviously [Spielberg] had a ball with Close Encounters, and his pleasure in tinkertoying it together makes it enjoyable, mildly funny and -- in one sequence -- even credible.

This is dopey Hollywood mysticism all right, but thanks to considerable craft and showmanship, it packs an undeniable punch.

The special effects are spectacular, John Williams's score is emotionally charged, nouvelle vague director François Truffaut makes an elegant UFO expert and it's impossible not to get caught up in the protracted climax.

It must weather some bummy mid-passage exposition, but the movie survive its flaws triumphantly, evolving into a uniquely transporting filmgoing spectacle.

Another classic from Spielberg's most fertile period.
