"When I was a kid, E.T. made me cry. As an adult, it still makes me get a little misty-eyed. It is such a moving and powerful film. Even though it’s a fantastical story, about an alien and a little boy becoming best friends, it still conjures up real emotion."
– John Mersho, Vice President of Shoe Palace
