The friendship between a boy and an extraterrestrial became the highest grossing film of the 1980s. E.T. is accidentally left behind on Earth and must find his way home with the help of Elliott, his siblings and a Speak & Spell before anyone finds out. In one of the worst decisions in advertising history, Mars Candy forbid their M&M's to be used in the film. Instead, Hershey's Reese's Pieces were used and their subsequent sales were out of this world. ;-) Despite it's massive success, E.T. was one of the worst decisions in video game history. A lame idea and massive overproduction lead to cartridge burials in a New Mexico landfill and partial blame for the video game crash.
E.T. was filmed in Tujunga, Porter Ranch, Granada Hills and Crescent City, CA
