My other half has just brought me the 30th anniversary cd of Close Encounters of the Third Kind with all 3 versions of the film and a commentary from the bearded God himself with a book and a poster.
This is the film that converted me to the wonders of the Cinema. As a callow 15 year old boy the film transported me to places and worlds I could hardly imagine. from the brilliant opneing with the blinding flash of light and crescendo of noise to the Mother Ship sailing off into space this film truely is a work of genious. Over 3 months I saw this film 7 times at the Cinema. I would imagine I have watched it in excess of 25 times now.
The effects were watershed, they knocked Star Wars that was released at the same time into a cocked Hat and it is a far more accomplished film than Star Wars imo.
The film has aged well and will be regarded in future as one of the true classics of Cinema. Most reviewers now realise the genious of this film and give 5 stars as standard.
