Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Grandpa Steve is back, and he's brought all kinds of funny little guys with him this time! Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS may have been overshadowed in its time by the likes of a small space opera movie called STAR WARS...but here at Eye of the Duck, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate all its hopeful (and neurotic) wonder.Next week, it's the iconic 1978 remake, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.
