Close Encounters of the Third Kind

I feel that this is a film ahead of its time. Could have been a classic if the characters were likable and the look was a bit dated. Amazing film score, cinematography and visual effects. In my opinion, if the ship and aliens were seen in the middle then people would have been more interested than the long build-up. The plot and pace could have used a bit of tweaking. Performances from the cast stood out and Richard Dreyfuss was amazing in his role. Still, Close Encounters of the Third Kind has the drama, humor, and screenplay that makes it one of the best Alien/UFO related films around.
