Title: OT Best 80's Movie Round 1 #2 E.T vs #15 Cocktail

(2) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial vs. (15) Cocktail

(2) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
BMX bicycles, suburban neighborhoods, Reese’s Pieces, Speak & Spell, John Williams, Steven Spielberg, and the bicycle crossing the moon make E.T. one of the defining cultural landmarks of the decade. It captures both the freedom and loneliness of 1980s childhood and remains emotionally powerful across generations.
(15) Cocktail (1988)
Tom Cruise, flair bartending, tropical escapism, ambition, romance, fashion, and a hugely successful soundtrack make Cocktail a distinctly late-’80s artifact. It may not be a critical favorite, but its style, music, and attitude make it nearly impossible to mistake for a movie from any other era.

ET is the better movie.

Cocktail is WAY more 80s. 

Let's go for the upset!
