DISCLOSURE DAY STARTED A LONG TIME AGO......Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Full Movie Reaction & Review with Andrew Gordon and Aaron Alexander!

As conversations surrounding UAPs, UFO sightings, government transparency, and Disclosure Day continue to fuel public fascination with extraterrestrial life, Spielberg's vision of first contact feels just as awe-inspiring and relevant today as it did nearly fifty years ago. Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, The Goodbye Girl) stars as Roy Neary, an ordinary man whose life is forever changed after a mysterious encounter with an unidentified flying object. Alongside Melinda Dillon (A Christmas Story, Magnolia) as Jillian Guiler, François Truffaut (The 400 Blows, Day for Night) as scientist Claude Lacombe, and Teri Garr (Tootsie, Young Frankenstein) as Ronnie Neary, the film follows a growing obsession that draws Roy toward the mysterious Devils Tower and humanity's first true encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization. The film is packed with unforgettable moments, including the discovery of the missing World War II fighter planes, Barry's terrifying abduction sequence, the iconic highway UFO encounter, Roy's legendary mashed-potato mountain sculpture, the government's cover-up operation, and the breathtaking mothership finale accompanied by John Williams' famous five-note communication sequence. With its sense of wonder, mystery, and optimism about first contact, Close Encounters of the Third Kind remains the definitive UFO movie and one of Spielberg's greatest cinematic achievements.
