I bought the movie a couple of weeks ago. I had this movie and it was misplaced when we moved. I love the movie because of the feeling I get watching it. The shots of the UFO coming into the field along with the music and the sound it makes is kind of exciting & scary at the same time. A normal man going about his business and then one night his life completely changes because of a UFO encounter.What degrees the government went to to cover up the UFO contact and what they did to get the people off the mountain so the UFO could land. The pictures of the aliens were great!!The shot of the people coming down the ramp of the UFO in clothes they had been wearing back in the 30's & 40's. They had not aged a bit. And the woman who's little boy was taken one night in their house. Her running after the little boy and him being pulled out through a dog door in her kitchen.His toys starting on their own and running all through the house and his little record player starting up. The way the shadows were in the rooms along with the sounds of the aliens coming in and it all worked together to add a certain menace to the atmosphere. If you get this movie I am sure you will enjoy it...!To me it was excellent!Read full review
The VHS tape came shrink wrapped and had never been opened. I watched it right away on my DVD / VCR combo and was taken away so to speak. Excellent.

I won't summarize the whole movie as there are several good reviews already. I wanted to add that I bought it to tease my 10 year old grand child for messing with her mashed potatoes. She was entranced by the movie. Really wanted to see the ships and aliens. Wanted to adopt one. Wanted to play the melody on the keyboard. This has stood up well. I love Truffaut. If you like him in this, see L'enfant Sauvage (The Wild Child).
