Hot off his huge success directing JAWS for Universal Studios, director Steven Spielberg tackled science fiction with his next film: ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’.
The
movie is one of my all-time favorites and for good reason(s).
A
brilliant script, stellar acting, spectacular visual and practical effects and
a compelling sense of wonder made the film a huge hit and endeared itself to
millions of movie-goers and is a considered a movie masterpiece and classic
even today.
It,
along with the Star Wars franchise, refashioned and revitalized the sci-fi film
genre and helped define the ‘blockbuster’ phenomenon.
Harper

classic film with its ‘Close Encounters
