As a British guy with no hope of going to the States unless I magically come across a plane ticket and some money I cant think of a movie location more magic then standing next to the house from ET. To me it is THE film of my childhood-I am very grateful though to watch this video and join you remotely!

I'm glad there's other people who find this stuff as cool as I do. Whenever I go to a film location or somewhere significant, my wife could not care less.

You’re not kidding, Elliot (Henry Thomas) is you’re doppelgänger!

This is why we love movies, they transport us, even if just for fleeting moments, back in time to when life was magical. We get that sense of our childhood again! Love the 80's movies more now than I did then! Keep up the great work! 👏👏

Man I love when you line up the shots of then and now, it's so cool to see.

I was 7 years old when ET came out & when me & my family went to the theater to see it. When it ended & everyone was spilling out into the parking lot I remember wondering why all the moms were wearing sunglasses before they even got outside, then I saw the tears!

I am not even kidding man, I am in Santa Rosa right now, and ALMOST ran out there to do this same video!!!! So very cool!!

All of the childhood nostalgia!!!

The 80’s were so innocent and more carefree vs now by a long shot.The neighborhood from E.T looks similar which is a good thing!

You nailed it with, "Did you watch E.T. a lot growing up?" - I'm 47 yrs old and it felt like basically everyone rented the VHS tape every weekend or it played every-other movie on HBO. I was a latchkey key so HBO was my babysitter on summer vacations.

This movie will always have a special place in my heart. When I rode the E.T. movie ride in Universal Orlando I cried like a baby. Thank you both for all the wonderful videos!

Amazing film, blew my little mind in 1982. I was the perfect age of 9 years old. I was totally absorbed in Spielbergs cinematic universe. Total suspension of disbelief. Thanks for taking us back there Grimm Life C.

I LOVE this movie! Cried my eyes out multiple times when it came out, I was 5 yrs old. The commercial from a few years ago during the super bowl was brilliant too! 40th anniversary coming up and will re released in theatres August 12!!!

God, thank you for this!! As a kid in the 80’s, E.T. has had a HUGE impact in my life. I have always wanted to visit those places where it was filmed, and like you that catapillar is a given to have to touch. I just hope you have the opportunity to film the woods area too at s later time. Again, thank you so much for this! Best wishes from Norway🙏

During that period of 80's, there was a lot of good movies... E.T, Goonies, Back to the futur, and so on... All my childhood, One like more from France ! Great channel ! ;-)

You two turn on my heart light.

I still love E.T. We moved into a suburban development under construction just like that in my early teens so I totally relate. And you were a dead ringer for Elliot, now a Michael Stife of REM.

Can we all point out the perfection of the shots in this movie? Steven Spielberg is a master!

I remember going to the movies to watch E.T. we ate Reeses Pieces. Great movie.

Amazing, ET was also one of my favorite movies growing up. Love seeing all the locations today. Good job!

I just learned Tim burton is directing a Wednesday Addams show for Netflix. I’m ecstatic

I loved the film, I'm 52 now, my grand kids love watching this with me. They dont do big movies like this no longer.

E.T. is still very big in our house. My 6 yr old LOVES the movie! He has my 40yr old plush E.T. doll still in good shape and we just bought the new board game which is a lot of fun. Back in the day I saw E.T. in theaters. 1982 was an epic movie year.

As a 48 yr old living here in Gatlinburg TN, I'm binge watching these over and over. .thank you so much for making me remember my childhood living in Portsmouth RI in the 80s

Great work and the side by side comparisons are brilliant. Crazy to think people living in those houses would know all about ET but not realise it was filmed in their street.

thank you for transporting us back to 80s that feeling.

I love the way you think like me about the little details in movies like same branch, same walls and chimney. And putting the clips in there with the locations is so fun. As long as you can spin on a swing without getting sick Jessica means you're still young. So fun watching your videos.

One of my fav movies too. I loved this tour, thank you for taking the time to make it - really well done!

Favorite part is 1:23 a lot of ET was filmed here but you walking alone because …Jessica is like the dog from UP oouuu FLOWER😂😂 you guys are awesome

Now I need to watch E.T. tonight! I haven't seen it in years! Used to have the VHS at my grandma's house and would watch it constantly as a kid!

Rock on brother, my all time favourite movie as a young boy growing up in New Zealand in the 80s. Still my favourite movie, and still watch it regularly! Keep on keeping on dude!

Watched E.T all the time as a kid

For such a big fan of the movie, I'm surprised you don't know it was ET's heart that glowed, not his stomach. Good job making this video. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I went to the theatre on opening day- it was promoted like crazy! Y’all’s videos are so fun and well researched, thanks ✅

Sweet memories and very glad I had the opportunity to see this at a Drive In when it was released. We went a few times. And I remember watching it over and over again on VHS. Always been a classic favorite. I'm the same age as Drew.. been crushing on her ever since...lol This movie had style. It was really the first good movie that basically told a story through the kids eyes and their eye views. Such a good story.. really no flaws

Amazing job again. You guys rock! 80's movies were the best! Cheers from Canada.

Love your work man. I watched movie at the drive inn and it first got me into cycling which I still do today 🙌🏼

When I was a kid I was obsessed with the Alien movie Mac and me. I watched ET as a child but I have watched it more as a adult.

I will never forget this great movie, nor Reese's Pieces. 👽👾💜

It's my all time favorite movie.

Great video :D

I was going on 16 when this movie came out. A bunch of us saw it at the theater. We loved it. I remember a bunch of us girls crying during the end of it. Thanks you two .

ET was such an Iconic, wonderful movie. Still love this movie.

I was born in 1978 and E.T. is one of my all-time fav. movies. In 2009 I brought a visit to the E.T. (Elliot's) house. As a guy from The Netherlands it was super special and a dream came true. Greetings and keep up the good work (I love this video!)

My all time favorite movie, I still cry every time. ET phone home ☎️

How much fun. Amazing details on before and after--I am addicted to your vlogs!

ET was the very first movie my dad bought on VHS 📼 back in 1989! Ah the memories. 🥲

Watching it again for the first time in 30 years, I love how Spielberg showed the adults besides the Mom from the waist down. The first adult to get a face shot in was the nice scientist who was sentimental to Eliot and is shown warming up to his mom. I think we’re ready for a sequel since the main actors are still alive.

Awesome Post Man!! ET for Life

A great video! Thanks for sharing! Got enough ads in there! I remember when this movie had first come out back in 1982. They played it all summer long that year. Boy I miss the 1980's. The good old days those were!

Fun Ciara fact- ET was the first VHS I consciously picked out at a kid, it was in 1994 & I was 5(my mom liked to write dates on things) . I was absolutely obsessed with this movie, and still am. I cry like a baby, laugh, get the chills and feel every other emotion watching this movie to this day. I have a feeling I’m going to watch this one multiple times

This was an amazing movie you did for the filming locations!! You so do look like Elliott as a boy.. I now have had to watch the movie again.. thank you

Adorable photos. Love your videos! It’s the first film I have seen at the movie theatre!

it's been too long that I watched ET, must change that. And I can't believe that caterpillar play structure is still there and survived all the lawsuits and insurance fights that removed most of the other fun playground stuff because of stupid lawsuits. I think I'll have to go and see this, but for now, I need to watch ET again.An other great video!

Omg you both are the best, I loved the video! ET is definitely one of my top favorite 80’s movies and happy to see where the filming locations where, thank you both for the experience! 🙂

You are great at finding and lining up the shots. These video's take a lot of time. We all appreciate your hard work.

I was in lurv with Elliott. 😆 Thanks for another great video! 🖤 👽 🛸 I’m so grateful I was the perfect age to enjoy ET, when it first came out. How GREAT you got some of the actors! 😃

I love how detailed these movie location vids are.

Very good upload, thank you. About made a grown man cry. Such memories, I think I was about 9. We watched E.T on pirate video.

Recently came across your channel and loving the content. I'm in my early 40's so these then and now vids are amazing. Thanks for all your hard work and time putting them together. Love from Scotland

I grew up in that neighborhood. For years everyone was talking about the movie, park scenes, friends backyards that were in the scenes etc. We call that ET park where the caterpillar is. Also many homes were still being built and I remember riding our bikes through the neighborhood and dirt lots before walls were put up. Those homes on White Oak with the over hanging trees were some of the first homes in that area of the valley. They were “citrus” homes built for the orange pickers in early 1900s

Thank u guys for giving us movie buffs a chance to revisit the exact locations of our fave films! X

I love it! I'm so happy that you are doing the split screen shots of the before and afters. This is so much better than separate shots. It allows you to compare the before and afters together. Please do not change this formula. Awesome! By the way Grimm, you certainly did look like Elliot from E.T. E.T. is in my top 20 favorite movies. It was a fun and touching movie. Great job Grimm and Baby Ghoul!

i am so glad i found your channel, the content is great.Keep up the good work.

Thank you for these videos! I love them and I love how excited you get showing them to us!

You guys do such a good job with your filming locations and lining up shots. Love your channel!

One of the best movies ever!! What a thrill to visit its places!

I am from India .....But I get chills when i watch these ET shooting locations.....Awsome details are shown in this video....I WILL SOON VISIT THESE SHOOTING LOCATIONS FOR MYSELF......It will be literally like visit to a holy place for me.....& a dream come true.......HOLY BIBLE......AMEN......

You are a police investigator. When we listen to proceedings, you are convincing. In 1982 I was a freshman in highschool and seen ET 4 times on the big screen. You are on the dot, you do resemble Eliot back then. Thank you & your assistant!

Saw E.T. at a drive-in theater in Northern California in the summer of 1982. I remember that the sound was terrible, and from the angle of the car, we could see Poltergeist playing on another screen. Two bonafide classics were on at once. That's how it was back then. Great movies were coming out constantly. We saw E.T. at a proper indoor theater later that summer. A very vivid childhood memory. Will see if I can get out and see these locations soon. So blessed to live in Southern California where we can see all these places.

Awwwww my favorite part of the video was your childhood photos absolutely positively adorable that’s what your kids are going to look like whenever you and Jessica have babies 👶 lol!!

thank you from an Italian "child" of the 80s ... wonderful,I saw E.T together with my father when I was seven years old, even today that my father is gone, it is one of the best memories I have of him

I loved the movie ET it was one of my favorites

I saw E.T. in the theater back in 1982,i was 4 years old at that time.I will never forget that.

Really, really enjoyed this so much. I love you two together. The chemistry is really sweet. I still have to say my favorite is the Salem's Lot one you did. I was just there last month and proposed to my lady at the top of the cemetery. Stayed at the Gingerbread Mansion and had the best coffee at Mind's Eye. Broke our hearts to leave and come back to the real world so to speak. Keep up the excellent work guys!

I saw it at the movie theatre as a kid. Cried my eyes out.

So Glad You and Baby Goul did this! My first Ever Drive-Inn Movie! Such an Epic Time and Movie!! Love You Guys Always!!

I remember the lines to see e.t. wrapping around the theater in Irvine California, and we could never get in until it had been out for about a month. So cool how you line up scenes. You can tell how much time and work go into making the video.

Such a special film, fills me with that childhood magic. Shared ETwith my sons 6 & 4 & they loved it. Thank you for the video, great stuff.

Great video, as always. Its a pleasure to watch. I was 7 when that movie came out.

It's the only film I cried watching when ET was sick keep up the great work

I really enjoyed watching this. I love et its one of my favourite movies.

So cool. E.T. still one of my favorites. It was the first movie I took my then 3 year old to. He carried around a stuffed E.T. as his "security" after seeing the movie. And no matter how hard I try, I still tear up when I watch it.

Great video! I saw a sneak preview of "E.T." in the cinema shortly before it was released in 1982. It's the ONLY film I've ever seen where the audience gave it a STANDING OVATION (excluding midnight movies or a festival showing). E.T. was a phenomenon...

Hey just wanted to let you guys know that I love the way you find the exact angles and specific monuments to match it up your like a cinematic archaeologist (I just created that term if it doesn't exist LoL) my mind thinks the same way, on top of that literally all the eighties movies are my all time favs too as I'm pushing the dreaded 40, but. You got people out here hitting the member berries hard (South Park). And ive heard you mention Florida, I've been a little north of Tampa my adult life. Cheers keep up the freaking good work. Keep doing movies it's awesome, I've never seen someone do what you do and it rock's, don't stop you have found a great niche. Oh and we both walk the krft hand paths as it we're. Also saw your as above black hat on the dusk till dawn video. Salute

What an awesome addition!! I was so thankful to come across this, this morning. You really did look like Elliott!!! Wow!! That’s a huge Agave’ there at the beginning, on the right in the ground!!! That was one of C. Thomas Howells first roles.

This is so wonderful to discover all those places ! Thank you for this amazing job you've done and for sharing it. E.T. was a very important movie for a lot of people. Cheers from France !

Ahh 1982. When things were easy and simple and worry free. Nothing like today 2023

OMG, your younger self was Elliotts doppelganger!!

Some time we can rewatch et again

The Halloween scene is unforgettable for me, the place has changed but the the memories of this movie are in our minds ...forever . The bikes chasing is very creating and awesome.... Thanks for bringing memories i been there because i live in California

So good. Well done. Thank you for putting this together

Thank You for doing this, im 64 and watched this movie when it came out and Ghost Busters also. This was awesome to see, thanks so much again, enjoyed it.

Another fantastic video - love this so much. Thanks for making these!

This has to be my favorite watch of the week..month! I loved ET and remember my dad blackmailed me to go and have my tooth extraction in return for an E.T sticker album to try and make me feel less scared..I got my ET sticker album ... I just loved everything you filmed for us in this and wow that is the same peice of wood and same caterpillar in the park! YOu are SO lucky to have been able to visit all these places...Im way too far away in the UK ..I can only dream and re watch this video you put together, thank you , its superb!! Sonique 👌🤩👽😂

Even though I'm a horror fan E.T. has a special place in my heart

Thanks Steven Spielberg for this awesome movie & also thanks Grimm life collective for the greatest memories ❤👌 love from #india 🙏

Once thank you for the great narration and many -many pointed out/ highlighted details while not rushing the whole process. I love your approach.

Can I just say ya'll seem so calm and mellow. It's quite soothing seeing you two interact in your videos

Brilliant footage, absolutely loved that so thanks. ET was part of my childhood, loved it.
