If you loved A.I. Artificial Intelligence, try E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Steven Spielberg, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to A.I. Artificial Intelligence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is
Suburban California, autumn, a flying bicycle. A young boy befriends a stranded alien, his siblings form a bond, government agents close in. Spielberg's suburban tale of childhood friendship still resonates.
