: Yeah, did you guys know that? As happy as he was he got to do a good project after the disastrous 1941 that nearly destroyed his career (Spielberg refers to this film as 'rehab'), Spielberg felt a little bad that it didn't COMPLETELY reflect something personal and dear to his heart like Close Encounters did.
: One night in Tunisia, when Spielberg was sleeping in his tent, feeling very lonely, he made a little imaginary friend to keep him company, that friend was a little alien. His next project was about that, a little movie called E.T., which is, so far his best work. Interesting story, huh?
