E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial remains one of the most beloved of Steven Spielberg's movies, so it is not surprising that there were plans for E.T. 2 before the sequel was scrapped. The sci-fi classic E.T. was released in 1982 and has been praised by critics ever since, who consider it one of the finest films of its generation as well as one of the best films ever made. At one point, E.T. was the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Star Wars, but it was later overtaken by another Spielberg film, Jurassic Park, in 1993.
