re: Why is E.T. The most inaccessible film of all time?

That's what it reminds me of. The Disney movies. I know that a lot of movies make themselves scarce as saints guy says, but this one really seemed to go out of its way. It still being in theaters over a year after its initial release explains why it wasn't available for rental at the time, but everything afterward makes no sense to me.

Just glad someone else knows what I'm talking about.
