The Parkway Theater is screening E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial on Saturday, November 21, 2026. It's a matinee showing, so it's a good one to bring the kids along for.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, the 1982 film follows a gentle interstellar being stranded on Earth who is befriended by a young boy named Elliott, played by Henry Thomas.

It's rated PG.
