CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Scientists try to communicate with the Mothership using light and musical tones.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Steven Spielberg followed Jaws (1975), his first major box-office success, with this epic science fiction adventure about a disparate group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is an electrical lineman who, while sent out on emergency repairs, witnesses an unidentified flying object, and even has a "sunburn" from its bright lights to prove it. Neary's wife and children are at first skeptical, then concerned, and eventually fearful, as Roy refuses to accept a "logical" explanation for what he saw and is prepared to give up his job, his home, and his family to pursue the "truth" about UFOs. Neary's obsession eventually puts him in contact with others who've had close encounters with alien spacecraft, including Jillian (Melinda Dillon), a single mother whose son disappeared during her UFO experience, and Claude Lacombe (celebrated French filmmaker François Truffaut), a French researcher who believes that we can use a musical language to communicate with alien visitors. Lacombe's theory is put to the test when a band of government researchers and underground UFO enthusiasts (including Neary) join for an exchange with alien visitors near Devil's Tower, Wyoming. In 1980, a "Special Edition" was released. While its primary selling point was the addition of scenes inside the alien spaceship, Spielberg claimed that he also cleaned up some choppy editing in the second act.

The ship’s sound is a tuba. The man who played the tuba for this scene is the man who taught my father to play the tuba. You have no idea how cool that is.
Rachel lycan that’s very cool
That IS very cool.
That man is a very cool dude :D
Rachel lycan wow !!!
thats amazing dude
That guy also taught my music teacher
"It's the first day of school, fellas." I love how they're smart enough to realize they're speaking to a species so advanced that they are basically children in comparison. Not just that, he doesn't seem one bit irritated about that at all, lol.
that's why I have always wondered their enthusiasm after the first wave. They had trained astronauts for space travel, damn it!
Why would you think he 'realized' all that?
They should've played some Hendrix. The aliens would've said "whoa! We came to teach, but it looks like we're the ones gonna be learning a thing or two".
They were prepare for this. Plus that they have to be patient. This isn’t exactly nuclear and/or rocket science.
Kosh800 Who anyone be irritated when you started playing music with a gigantic mothership? It would be an absolute marvel.
why dont they make films like this anymore 😞 absolute classic!
John Smith how
Well to be fair, even the original Star Wars used computers to a degree, for the Death Star dogfight especially. Yes, they were primitive compared to today, but they did make a big breakthrough regarding motion control.
Not sure who you're responding to, but I never compared it to CGI. I
said exactly what you've described. It was an advance in motion control.
ILM literally invented the hardware and software for the cameras they
used. The Death Star plan video was typical of the graphics available at the time.
The computers in the Original trilogy provided a sense of reality via the models that had not been seen before. It immersed the audience in a way never before seen. I was 17 in 1977, saw SW for the first time in an old traditional movie house in the Bronx, the RKO Fordham. Big screen. When the Death Star dogfight came around, and you had that first scene giving you the sense of dropping into the trench, I felt my stomach drop, it seemed so real. THAT, was the contribution of those computers of the time. It brought a sense of reality that, even with the best CGI of today, I have never really felt since.
Because the modern audience values "visual quality" over story-telling. Movie makers end up falling into the pit of focusing on visuals, blowing the budget on really fancy 10-15 minutes and end up forgetting about the main point of movies which is the plot.
I always imagined the guy on the synthesizer being a little irritated when they switched to "automatic control": "Goddammit, we were jamming!"
On an ARP 2500 no less. I'd be jamming on that thing all day
The aliens like classical music and the movie Jaws.
lol
Yeah I think it's Steven Spielberg and John Williams tipping the hat to their previous film
since i was so young when i first saw this i didnt pick up on that like today.... SHARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everybody out of the water@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Amity Island
Yeah, tipping the hat to "Jaws" was pretty obvious.
TheGoldcountry
Steven Spielberg always has a way of charming the hell out of your heart and blowing your mind at the same time. He's adorable lol
Kindah favourite director of all time
Yes...an adorable pedophile !
@@olivierokson9519 Tf are you talking about bro?
He partied with Epstein.
# 63G774298 So guilt by relation is it?
You know why this is the greatest alien movie of all time. These aliens are peaceful and intelligent. In every other space movie the aliens are warring and barbaric. We need new movies with this theme.
Arrival man go watch it right now
What about ET?
mac and me
Technically “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence” but you’re gonna have to wait a bit before the peaceful aliens come.
Star Trek TNG and Rick Berman can take lesson from your post
So the aliens are just an intergalactic symphony orchestra?
Lol I guess
so basically ELO?
well, i'd rather have an interstellar alien barbershop quartett than a murdering, waring alien race enslaving us.
no bro, the aliens are among us
Why did we have to play oboe?
music is the universal language
Cody Davis so is math.
David Vermillion math and music are the same
it is true ?
Cody Davis Yes.Like mathematics. Thank you.
Cody Davis Yes! So Pythagorean theorem- in music theory, harmonics and, number theory, as well.Wow.Thank you. Truly great.
I was 12 when this was released, so awesome then. Imagine that sound in a theater.
+Darin b The experience was out of this world!!
Yeah man.
No.
If you live in the US, you will on September 1st when the film gets rereleased in theaters nationwide
kbros9698 indeed
Steven Spielberg has to be an alien himself. No human could've made Close Encounters and E.T.. Such a true genius.
I think Steven Spielberg was listed as an alien in the first Men In Black movie.
War of the Worlds.
Movies are based on true events
bullshit.
All movies are based on real events. This film actually happened
Thank God they communicate through classical music and not death metal!
you mean rap :)
+8849junior dub step .
Nas dipped into the classical music repertoire for a riff; his 2000 collaboration with Puff Daddy, “Hate Me Now” sampled “O Fortuna” from Carmina Burana. Oh, and don't forget The Rhapsody Overture
Violent2aShadow I'm into both funnily enough
metal and classical music are actually very similar.
I remember as a kid hearing those last few notes and thinking, "Hey, that sounds like the Jaws theme."
Then I found out as an adult that they did that intentionally.
I just learned something new today lol.
+HenryvKeiper There is a type of bird/sparrow which sings those familiar 5 notes. As a kid, I was like "AHA! THAT is where they got it from"! I just never knew what the bird species was.
Intentionally? Not so sure...Maybe it's because John williams is the same composer in both movies perhaps. As a matter of fact, Steven Speilberg worked with John williams in just about every one of his flm's.
The way they used familliar items to fadhion props around in Star Wars to infer familiarity with the otherwise... alien?
HenryvKeiper Did you also know that John Williams snuck in the three-note theme from Psycho in the scene in Star Wars when Luke, Han, and Obi Wan pop open the floor panels of the Millennium Falcon covering the hidden smuggling compartments?
I love this movie. This whole final scene really makes you feel as though you are there with them, experiencing all of this. It must have been amazing to see this in the theatre back in the 70s.
It was...
@@whatsina1 Yes it was wasn't it?
Exactly how I feel
It was . I went three times as a teen. PBS sometimes at least on the East Coast will show it letterbox edition. But not the same on TV but still stunning and suspenseful. It is best scene as a mystery story unfolding not an Alien story or action film.
I love this movie, too. I was only 1 when this movie came out. I did get to catch it on the big screen, I think in 2017, or something, when it was celebrating a milestone anniversary. I went by myself. It was a great experience seeing it the theatre, that's for sure.
I love how at 1:53 John Williams has the Mothership begin to play a variation of the Jaws theme! Must have had people in the audience laughing
And then an immediate cut to Richard Dreyfuss! 😄
The film gave sharks a bad name. Meanwhile, people kill millions of sharks who is the real baddie here.
@@astlawthyhannodon2002 The author of Jaws said that if he knew what the reaction of the film would have been, he would have never wrote the book. Think he's been promoting the truth about Sharks since then.
We are gunna need a bigger key board 😉
I know you wrote this comment five years ago but I just want you to know that I get it ....
I cry during this scene. Its beautiful to see humans of all kinda dropping everything in the pursuit of curiosity and communication. They are the humble piping instrument to their deep brass bass, but not resentful, just curious, a wonder-filled species instead of a violent one for a brief moment.
ZestTV very well said. Nice comment, summed it up very well
ZestTV lmao! Your a complete dumb ass. I sure hope you don't have children..
Just saw this film a few weeks ago, and I thought it was amazing! Really cool seeing a contact movie that doesn't have hostile aliens like "War of the Worlds" or "Independence Day".
so do you sir
you're*
The most enchanting part of the movie. The idea of a universal musical language is pretty cool.
Sound is mathematics, in sound, and vibration.
There is no doubt in my mind MUSIC is the key!!!
And it can definitely 100% be used to communicate with any alien species for real, especially when you understand sacred geometry and vibrational frequency.
0:57-1:05 Why does this one shot, 8 seconds long, always give me goosebumps and leave me smiling in pure awe?
That one shot is a perfect representation of the power music can have on a single image.
hello I am japanese Goose bumps always stand in this scene！！
It sounded like the aliens were being playful.
Reminds me of hearing Peter and the Wolf in grade school and how different sounds can create imagery, and how this scene almost seems like listening to an intergalactic nursery rhyme.
Brilliant. Not many understand music theory, nor, mathematics. The little one, Barry, with his xylophone, and " The Square Song"- is one of the all time great foreshadowings to a great ending ever. An amazing movie.
Traveling intergalactic distances in your whip to have a subwoofer battles with other species. Truly an advanced society. May their bass echo throughout the universe.
Not many??? There are MANY music and math experts out there.
A giant game of Simon.
Na, only sound and mathematics.
😂 My thought exactly.
When I first saw this movie, I laughed so hard at the moment when the Mothership repeats the last two notes so loud that it blows out the windows in that communication tower behind Roy. It's one of my favorite moments in this movie.
one of my favorite scenes as well :P
The truth is that this is easily in the top 5 scenes of modern cinema. There is intrigue, humility, self-discovery, communication, fear, courage.....and a message of hope for humanity. Their lives and understanding of their universe will never--can never--be the same. Beautiful beautiful.
Spielberg was a master of his craft, possessing an unusual insight into humans and their psychological/emotional make-up. 😁🤩
0:57 chills man chills. Awe inspiring for its time - music for all time.
Movies just aren't made like this anymore... sad, really...
Ditto, its all just remakes or rehashes of already existing stories be it books, tv, other movies, etc. Its annoying
Greg Hartman-Souder Says each generation of the next generation...
interstellar was amazing though
watch: Arrival! You will have your mind blown
They still are, you just have to find them now.
One of my favorite movie scenes ever.
0:55 its the first day of school fellas.
my favorite line in the whole movie!
The only ship that makes grown men cry
And the destruction of the Enterprise NCC 1701 Refit at the end of ST III TSFP.
they played this at a local theater 2 years ago and I fell in love with this movie. I'm glad my dad took me to see it because it became one of my favorite movies of all time.
How many people started crapping their pants when the giant alien ship started playing the Jaws tune? 1:50 What does that translate to? Nothing good, I imagine.
Richard Dreyfuss (who was also in Jaws) looks kinda worried there, too.
Well the composer for this did Jaws :)
Shatamx and every other movie Spielberg made
CosmicGrooves John Williams + Steven Speilburg + Richard Drefuss = Best movie combo EVER
Charles E. hehe And it happened twice in just a few years, too.
That's why John Williams is a Master Orchestrator
It's been 43 years since I was dazzled by this movie and the first Star Wars....what a year... will there ever be another like it?
A: nope. Close Encounters, Star Wars, also (different genres obviously) but Smokey and the Bandit, and the 10th James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me released as well in '77. went to see all of them that year.
No. USA has created huge companies and LITTLE variety. All the big movie studios have merged so that means less need to push the limits and bring in new talent. Now they just take an old movie. Update the graphics and tell you 'take that as your entertainment'.
Watching this (again) today after so many years, I couldn't help but appreciate it even more. It's amazing how perfect this entire scene is...it goes on for minutes in almost complete silence besides music and sounds. It makes it more realistic, more special, more iconic than most "alien" movies I've seen.
Why is it Steven Spielberg is one of the only filmmakers brave enough to have PEACEFUL aliens? It is as if other filmmakers are like "we need these aliens in mass numbers and extremely violent for no reason, other than the fact that it will distract the audience for 2 hours from the fact that this movie is really a piece of crap." Not Spielberg though...and mixed with JOHN (the man) WILLIAMS. This iconic score is a MASTERPIECE.
Close Encounters and E.T. are some of the ONLY movies (good movies) I can think of that had peaceful aliens, but also full of imagination and wonder. Both happen to be from the ultimate tag-team Spielberg / Williams.
I mean we got imaginative movies like District 9 where the aliens are misrepresented and they are actually gentle unless someone hurts them...which was refreshing to see.
Watching this though really made me think "DAMN...there are NO other movies like this!" Plus the brilliant idea of using sounds/music to communicate with aliens is just beautiful...absolutely beautiful.
This scene..to this day..makes my eyes water because of the pure imagination of it. Even when the alien waves back and smiles, it ALWAYS makes me smile. It's little moments like that in Film that can inspire someone and make someone happy to be alive.
Enough with all this HEAVY violence, and cgi in movies...and always joking about sex and being immature...or trying to be the bloodiest/goriest movie ever made...blood and gore to me is like a cheat....if you shock people and get their attention, you could easily skip all of the character development, or strong story...having constant action just holds people's attention because everything is moving........when a scene slows down to add detail to the story, everyone gets impatient. These days they do atleast...back then, movies were like an event, and people admired the quality and effort put into films because it gave them something to hold on to and appreciate. Now we just get SEQUELS / REBOOTS / REMAKES or just plain shit.
Close Encounters from the Third Kind make most sci-fi movies look like an afterthought.
I think this is one of the best comments Ive ever seen on youtube
My dream is to be a director like Steven Spielberg though I know its impossible for me...
I agree with you. i think the public overall enjoy the violent nature of the famous xenomorphs or the Independence Day aliens because... i don't know why that's why stephen spielberg's here i guess
Contact is another movie with peaceful aliens.
War of the Worlds. Oops.
Arrival had peaceful aliens.
music is math. a very pretty form of math
Sadly all pianos are out of tune because of those math rules.
Exactly.
Really?
@@Derpster2493
Imagine making a piano from math how big it would be? Not possible.
The last notes die out, and then a shark comes out of the ship.
Obscene Vegetable Matter I can imagine it just flopping out and gnashing its teeth 😂
Hooper!!!
Obscene Vegetable Matter they’re gonna need a bigger ship.
And eats Samuel L. Jackson 🤣
Noooo. Not sharknado!
Hands down Spielberg's best film. I'm putting this above Jaws and Schindler's List.
Best of all, it's not only an iconic scene but also autobiographical. Spielberg's father worked with computers and his mother was a music teacher. Think about how they communicate in the film and you will find how unconsciously Spielberg sublimates that need for communication and understanding. God i love this movie.
I haven't thought of that. That's cool.
@@micahjohansson7573 theres a clip of an interviewer pointing that out to Spielberg, who had no idea, despite writing and directing the film
Great point. Perhaps he was recreating a conversation between his parents. 😊
I love how this basically turns into a jam session and the epic dude on the keyboard actually manages to keep up.
1:53 - 2:10 Jaws :)
it's okay it's Mr. Spielberg's he can steal it 😏
No, that was aliens as directed by John Williams. XD
Yeah he could also steal Rick Baker's design of the aliens too :)
@@MsTwinkle101 John Williams kind of 'borrowed' it from Czech composer Dvorak.
@Mastema The one that went missing in 1926?
It comes back with a mystical look in its eye - saying "I've seen things you humans wouldn't believe..." and then devours the pretentious French prat.
RIP J ALLEN HYNEK with out you we wouldn’t have this movie
It's kinda hard to think that if this was real, that little jingle would represent Earth in the universal neighborhood...
Roundy Rocky it didn't that jingle was given to us by the aliens their version of a universal greating.
It could be those five tones are their ID markings.
we would probably play justin bieber's baby, unfortunately.
Love the Jaws theme at 1:48
0:57 that little tune, gets me every time, to imagine something like that with that sound it sounds so cool
They've crossed galaxies to have a musical jam sesh with us.
Also, they've listened to the Jaws theme as well.
AND they remembered to bring tubas, flutes, timpanis, violins, woodwinds and all the good stuff AND a MIDI cable to take over the keyboard from the organist.
Everyone and *everything* loves music. :)
We can even communicate through music.
EDIT: Nope. It is not music. They're communicating through a mathematical language.
+SMUS16475 The universal language. It's the basics of creation...everything in the universe is a waveform. :)
On each of the Voyager satellites is a record of human music, with a cover with etchings all over it. One is a schematic representation of the hyperfine transition of hydrogen, which is the most abundant element in the universe. Below this symbol is a small vertical line to represent the binary digit 1. This spin-flip transition of a hydrogen atom from electron state spin up to electron state spin down can specify a unit of length (wavelength, 21 cm) as well as a unit of time (frequency, 1420 MHz). Both units are used as measurements in the other symbols. pattern on the left of the plaque shows 15 lines emanating from the same origin. Fourteen of the lines have corresponding long binary numbers, which stand for the periods of pulsars, using the hydrogen spin-flip transition frequency as the unit. Since these periods will change over time, the time of the launch can be calculated from these values. The lengths of the lines show the relative distances of the pulsars to the Sun. A tick mark at the end of each line gives the Z coordinate perpendicular to the galactic plane. If the plaque is found, only some of the pulsars may be visible from the location of its discovery. Showing the location with as many as 14 pulsars provides redundancy so that the location of the origin can be triangulated even if only some of the pulsars are recognized. Basically, through math, we created a vocabulary any scientifically literate civilization can decode. With this vocabulary, they can determine the origin and time in which we lived. Math is the universal language.
+SMUS16475 i agree music is the universal language
It however could end up as a snack for a space whale.
The two universal languages are music and math... both well represented here.
This was easily my favorite scene in the movie.
Who else expected the Jaws theme at 2:03 ??? 🤣🤣🤣
This was an incredible sequence; yet it has the flair that only Steven Spielburg could deliver!
when i was a kid i thought they were just playing music, too until i watched it again when i was a little older and realized they were using some form of codes (morse) to communicate but all in all, on of my favorite alien movie scenes -besides the ending of ET :-)
I hope they never remake this movie. If they did then it would have to be Spielberg to come back to direct it.
Not every movie needs a remake....
..and John Williams for the music of course.
@@BarnAvDenWebb Tell that to Hollywood
If they did the remake would suck.
Leave it as is.
One of the best sci-fi scenes ever done :-)
One of my favorite sci-fi movies. What I liked most is that the aliens aren't visiting to harm anyone. They only want peaceful contact with another species to build communication, not conquest.
Simply one of the greatest films ever made. I think this film alone raised the consciousness level of all who saw it. Best Music I ever heard on film too. Thank the master John Williams for that. I don't think Hollywood would make this film now. This film made everyone think and ponder our reality and our corporate fascist masters don't want us doing that.
heartfire daniel
the sound and music at the end scene of zulu was superb maybe spielberg realised it and thought in the same way
Watch more films.
I agree.
it's was just a movie, dimwith. Fantasy. It did not affect us you liar. Take your meds.
One of the most magnificent space ships in cinema history. Blends beautifully with the music.
0:57 the Mothership looks Beautiful.
After all these years, it still makes me tingle.. one of the greatest cinematic scenes ever...
Spielberg Genius.
John Williams wrote the soundtrack to my childhood. Movies now, just seem to lack the type of wonder they had when I grew up.
molon labe Probably because you're not a child anymore
Or movies suck now. Probably that
molon labe Nope. It's not that.
+Anonymous User promise it is. You around then?
molon labe It's not. You are suffering from nostalgia syndrome and a lack of energy put in to looking for modern films that you like. There are many great directors and artists releasing wonderful films these days, just as past days. Yes, I was around then.
Some trivia. The keyboard player in the scene was not an actor. His name was Philip Dodds and he was the technician in charge of mounting the ARP-2500 synthesizer on the film set (a huge blimp hangar; they couldn't find a studio set big enough). Spielberg saw him mounting it, asked him to play some sound effects, and told him if he wanted to be in the movie. He is even in the actors credits. Way to get a gig in a Spielberg movie.
Imagine being the guy on the keys, jamming with an alien mothership.
One wrong note, and that could be a declaration of war haha.
Did anyone notice that when they cut to Richard Dreyfuss the aliens started to play the Jaws theme....
jaws easter egg- FINALLY someone gets it :)
So this is how the game Simon started...
Simon says?
I think he means the game Simon.
Tony Leccese right, yes, the game Simon :p
@@sirhchajilenosiner8682 He means the electronic game.
Music ...... the universal language
If this ever get a re-release in a cinema please go and see it because this scene is just so amazing when it rattles through you, You can feel the bass hitting you in the heart. Amazing experience
It's like a duel between a bassoon and an oboe
It would be a contrabassoon, but it is a tuba.
Barely noticed the "Jaws" theme allusion w Dreyfus lol
+mike felix also both this film and Jaws were directed by Spielberg.
"You're gonna need a bigger mountain."
HA! The Jaws music at 1:58. PERFECT
I just adore this scene. It fascinates me.
0:03 that would be enough to blow anyone's eardrums out lol
6-7-92 Ron long
Mary hale lois mills
More than fourty years after, this scene continues to mesmerize me everytime I see it ❤. The beauty and armony of the music as of 0:55 and, specially, the power of that tuba overwhelmingly yet gracefully setting that upbeat rithm as of 01:05 just sends a chill down to my spine everytime I see it. Such an unforgettable scene! 🙌
That Initial tune from The Ship. Iconic, subtle but that powerful last two notes. Really drives the majesty of it.
love that the jaws theme was used in this scene. caught onto it immediately. cried waterfalls during this scene. beautiful.
They should have put John Lord on that Keyboard. He would have blown their little green socks off.
+Dan K This is the best comment ever
...or Keith Emerson.
...or Rick Wakeman.
...or Tony Banks.
or me
Back when Spielberg was still fresh. Nice.
+cesarmanuel51 not great
*****
I heard Bridge of Spies was awesome, so we'll have to see.
They need to re release this amazing movie in theaters. It's now 40 years since this movie came out. I love this movie
Glad you made it here. Welcome friend, to 2021.
Watched this film 19 times in the past 10 years :D
Well, the raid at Area 51 raid was a failure, but at least people had a good time!
Was a bold concept, but honestly did we really expect it to materialize?
Gotta love John Williams’ little nod to Jaws at the end there. I still can’t decide if that’s a better Spielberg movie than this or not...
My mom was the kind of single mother to sit me down throughout my childhood as a little kid and literally make me watch Close Encounters, 2001, Jaws, you name all the greatest movies, and it changed my life. Now I work in the film industry and have every bit of passion for it as I ever did. Movies like that are the most magical because they created imaginations even more than they enhanced it. I will never ever forget the wonderment I had seeing this scene and I'm so grateful it exists.
I hope this'll be re-released someday so I can see this masterpiece in theatres.
I just wonder how much fun the extraterrestrials were having playing musing with the ancient human computer
0.55 ....The " first day of school" indeed.
Always appreciated the real significance of that line from the first time I heard it in the cinema in 77.
I was intrigued by the conversation between the tuba and oboe. John Williams is awesome.
Sad how much society has changed and we don't get movies like this anymore
Fr!!1!
Speilberg added the Jaws rift into it, brilliant!!!
I'm talking to you from the future 😱 😱
Freaky 👋
I love how threw in just a hint of ‘Jaws’ at the very end… pretty cool with Richard Dreyfus listening intently - ha
I love how they use music to communicate. 🎶 is what brings everything together.
When Daft Punk recreated this scene for the opening of their "Alive" tour I knew I was in for the greatest show of my life
Oh so this is where Monster Vs Aliens got their hilarious 'first alien encounter' scene from.
Kay Kad,
Yep.
The mothership looks like my local pub during Christmas
Ooh, that little homage to Jaws at the end *Chef's kiss!* I see what you did there John Williams!
Well I better go to a different planet with a tuba so we can communicate without harm I guess
Did anyone else notice that the keyboard changed tones in this ending sequence? At first, when it's communicating with the 3 smaller ships, it's more of an electronic/synth sound. But when the mothership lands, suddenly it's a clarinet.
Possibly because with the three smaller ships its supposed to symbolize the scientists trying to communicate with them as equals. when the mother ship approaches its a sense of awe, the teacher has come and we are small in comparison
i thought it sounded more like an oboe.
Yeah it's definitely an oboe, although not just anybody should be able to tell.
The low tones were probably done by a tuba or bass 'bone.
At least some of the synth tones were courtesy of an ARP 2500.

This scene reminds me that a thing of beauty is joy forever !!
I remember seeing this 🎥 in theaters back whence was a kid. Standing in a super duper long line for HOURS.!. Worth my wait.
I’m here from the grand tour. To hear what it should sound like 🙈🤣
i want the innocence of 1977
back again
Wow this is the most creative Alien based movie even in the 1970s I watched this not once but 3 times back in 2019 and I still wanna watch it again this has honestly gotta be my favorite movie out of all also considering I'm a fan of classics
Love how the communication becomes reverse diegetic music, as it ramps up in intensity and becomes the movie’s soundtrack
