E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Reese's Pieces are prominently used to lure E.T.; brand-name food appears, but the film is not primarily a sales message.

E.T. appears to die, prompting grief and a goodbye, but is revived; the emotional treatment is intense rather than graphic.

Brief scene of a bloody cut on a finger being healed, but not graphic.

Occasional mild swearing and name-calling typical of school-aged children.

Spiritual and resurrection-like parallels are present thematically, but explicit religious practice is not central to the story.

There is a brief child kiss and a movie-kiss imitation; romance is incidental, not a major storyline.

The stranded alien, nighttime encounters, government agents, quarantine, pursuit, and a visibly weakened E.T. can be frightening.

Very minor instances, such as a child mimicking a kissing scene from a film.

E.T. drinks beer, and Elliott becomes intoxicated through their shared connection; this is comic and not presented as a model behavior.

Pursuit, capture, roadblocks, and escape create peril; violence is limited and largely fantastical or off-screen.
