    This set over the single-disc...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 6, 2002

    I agree with the other posters - this is a classic and maybe the best sci-fi film ever made (sorry E.T. fans). While I despised the ending of the "special edition," I find that having it on one of the 2 discs in this set a nice historical note. I hav...e the Criterion Collection Edition (the original) on laserdisc also, but DVD's have become the way to go. It occurs to me that this 2-disc set may be out of print soon and become a collectible, given the release of the single-disc.So...where's the Indiana Jones Trilogy, now that Steve's quit screwing around with E.T.? It's time, isn't it? At least, unlike his buddy George Lucas, he's embracing DVD technology. I'm sure that Star Wars will ONLY be available in a 6-disc set within 6 months of episode 3. Is anyone else apathetic about it besides me? Ya waited too damned long, George!!! Read more Less

    It is the standard by which I measure a good film. It has everything: comedy, action, drama, mystery, suspense, paranormal activity, exotic locations, momentum from start to finish, special effects, a grand finale, great soundtrack and sound dynamics..., top-notch acting, believable dialogue, a character driven to madness while trying to express a vision, and little tiny lights moving across almost every night sky(something I only noticed on DVD). It is a film that appeals to all ages.... timeless! The deleted scenes and the documentary are great! Read more Less

    This in without doubt the best UFO Sci-Fi movie ever. The second one if the Showtime special "INTRUDERS", see it and you will see why.

    A Sci-Fi classic to beat all classics

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 26, 2001

    When i first saw Close Encounters in 1978.It had a huge impact on how i viewed the world around me.And the thought of not being alone in the universe was embedded into my head.Not to mention the song that plays on Barrys record player"look with care ...for the shape of a square"which sounds like the woman who sang the felix the cat theme song.Another memorable moment is when Devils Tower is seen for the first time.This is a movie that lends realism to the ufo phenomenon.Unlike ET.This is a movie that I would suggest everyone watch.In the meantime I will still be playing with the food on my plate and contemplating it's meaning.As the budweiser song echoes in my head.

    Great Movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 9, 2001

    Steven Spielberg has made the best ET movie, The best Holocaust movie, the Best War movie etc etc. Close Encounters is a brilliant film dealing with UFOs. Fantastic acting by Richar Dreyfus, Great direction and excellent special effects especially fo...r it's day. Just buy this film, get a big bag of popcorn and sit and watch this movie, you'll love it. Read more Less

    One of the greatest movies of all time. It is extemely dificult for me to believe that after all this time that the 64th greatest American movie is still not available on DVD and is only available on ancient VHS. I enjoyed this movie immensely when i...t first came out and I was a teenager. Now my son is a teenager and he would love to have this movie but only wants it on DVD. Go Figure. Read more Less

    To those who are interested, I got wind that CE3K was coming out on DVD on May 29 of this year. I don't know if the full versions of both releases are included (like it was supposed to be)but I have not been able to verify this. Unfortunatly the Colu...mbia website is not very helpful. Hopes this brings a little light. P.S. We need the Indiana Jones trilogy as well. Doc Read more Less

    An absolutely incredible movie. The first time I saw it I was blown away. This should be in each and every Sci-Fi Lovers collection. Spielberg out did himself on this one. I promise you won't be disappointed!!
