When ten-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas) befriends an extra-terrestrial who has become stranded on Earth, he soon realises the little guy needs his help. With assistance from his brother Michael (Robert MacNauton) and little sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore), Elliott is determined to make sure the homesick alien escapes capture by the government and finds a way to return to his home planet.

At its heart, this is a simple fantasy tale that works on many levels. Upon release in 1982, Steven Spielberg’s film surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time (only to be eclipsed 11 years later by another Spielberg film, Jurassic Park). The critics didn’t think it was half-bad either and it was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning four. Come along and be enchanted by E.T. – whether you’re seeing the film for the first time, or once again – in celebration of its 40th anniversary.

Moonage Daydream explores the five-decade long creative and musical journey of David Hayward-Jones, who you might know better as David Bowie. Visionary filmmaker Brett Morgen (Cobain: Montage of Heck) eschews the talking-head interviews with music journalists, sound technicians and contemporaries usually seen in films like this in favour of a psychedelic swirl of sound and vision more in keeping with Bowie’s own enigmatic style.

Notably, this is the first film about Bowie to be officially authorised by his estate, and as such draws on previously unreleased footage from his personal archives, including live concert footage. It takes its title from the 1971 Bowie song of the same name, and features excerpts of nearly thirty of the iconic artist’s songs. Whether you’re familiar with all of them or only a few, this film is a visual and musical treat.
