Melinda and Melinda by Woody Allen

A little forced but I still liked this. It's signature (mature) Woody Allen.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) by Steven Spielberg

Excellent SF, with great everyman performance by Dreyfus, and oh those saucers!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind by Steven Spielberg

Space aliens visit Earth.

The last half hour or so is great, as are a number of other scenes throughout the movie. But I couldn't care less about Richard Dreyfuss or his mashed potatoes.
