Can't wait for them to reproduce Atari's "ET - the Extra-Terrestrial".

When a game's value is worth more in the landfill than on shelves, you know you got something special.

What I can't understand is that somehow I watched ET 10 times in the theater. It was rare for me to watch a movie more than once, I can understand why I watched Ghostbusters more than once, but ET was a huge cultural moment when it came out and then it just plain disappeared from people's consciousness.
