10.	Close Encounters of the Third Kind

This movie is one which leaves you stunned an amazed with
it's captivating conclusion and the tremendous musical score by
John Williams.  Williams' score is one of this films notable
strengths as it draws the viewer in.  The musical dialog of the
finale is one which will live forever in cinematic history.
A "close encounter of the third kind" is the designation given
to a UFO landing where humans come into contact with an
alien race.  Leading up to this moment the viewer is given close
encounters of the first and the second kind.
Richard Dreyfuss (Roy Neary) and Melinda Dillon (Jillian
Guiler) are two people of dozens around the world who are
being summoned by an alien force to gather at Devil's Tower in
Wyoming, USA.  This compulsion gradually consumes the
chosen members who are drawn to represent this place
in art and sculpture.  When the United States Military figures
out what is going on they scramble to cordon off the area and
to intercept the chosen human representatives in an effort to
replace them with a ready crew.  Neary and Guiler are the only
two who are able to arrive at the site where the aliens land and
invite members of the human race to join them for their return
voyage.
This film seems to send a message of love and goodwill
through a similar message sent by the aliens to Earth.  The
musical message sent by this alien race transcends all cultural
barriers and the fact that the aliens drew from cultures spanning
the globe seems to suggest an intent of unity and harmony.
This is a must see film.
