• Steven Spielberg & E.T. (HD, 13 minutes): Spielberg recounts the story of E.T.'s genesis, development and production in this new retrospective, touching on the inspiration for his story, Melissa Mathison's subsequent script, the focus on Elliot and his siblings over E.T., the personal nature of the project, and the overwhelmingly positive response to the film.
• The E.T. Journals (HD, 54 minutes): Composed entirely of original behind-the-scenes footage shot during the production, this two-part fly-on-the-wall documentary is wonderful. There isn't any narration -- just candid on-set interviews with the cast and crew -- but there isn't any pretense either. Only a group of people committed to making a movie they truly believe in. There are dozens of memorable moments to be had too, many of them involving Spielberg's interaction with young Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore. A must-see? Absolutely.
• Deleted Scenes (HD, 4 minutes): Bathtub hijinks and Halloween anarchy. Spielberg was wise to cut each.
• A Look Back (SD, 38 minutes): A non-anamorphic production documentary ported over from the 2002 20th Anniversary Edition DVD. Very good, very engaging; it's just a shame it isn't presented in high definition.
• The Evolution and Creation of E.T. (SD, 50 minutes): Also pulled from the 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, this follow-up doc is a bit redundant on occasion, but the interviews and other behind-the-scenes footage it features lend it plenty of value.
• The E.T. Reunion (SD, 18 minutes): Spielberg, Thomas, MacNaughton, Barrymore, Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote and producer Kathleen Kennedy gather together and share memories of the shoot.
• The 20th Anniversary Premiere (SD, 18 minutes): Composer John Williams and a full symphony orchestra perform the film's score for a live audience watching the movie at its 20th Anniversary Shrine Auditorium premiere. Note: this is an 18-minute featurette; not a presentation of the full orchestral performance.
• The Music of E.T. (SD, 10 minutes): A conversation with Williams.
• Designs, Photographs and Marketing (SD, 45 minutes): Six image galleries.
• Special Olympics TV Spot (SD, 1 minute)
• Theatrical Trailer (SD, 2 minutes)

An extra-terrestrial is accidentally left behind on Earth and is befriended by a young boy and his brother and sister. As Elliot attempts to help his extra-terrestrial companion contact his home planet so that he might be rescued, the children must elude scientists and government agents determined to apprehend the alien for their own purposes...which results in an adventure greater than any of them could have imagined.
