The end of the month is almost here, and Netflix is set to lose a number great films when November gives way to December. But among the Oscar-winning Netflix movies, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is the one you need to watch before it leaves in December 2025. This 1982 sci-fi story was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director for Steven Spielberg at the Oscars. It didn't win those two, but it took home four other Academy Awards. Before E.T. phones home to another streamer, Watch With Us is sharing the reasons to watch it.
