Quote - "Close Encounters" !!! That was the movie title that escaped me! I knew it started with an "E" though. I can't remember any of the movie except for the part about the huge decending space ship towards the end.
Dig this for a piece of music and movie trivia...
David Bowie's album, "Ziggy Stardust", released in 1971, features a track titled "Starman". The chorus of that particular song is a direct steal from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
Fast forward a few years to "Close Encounters" and you'll note that the plot of the movie is almost exactly based on Bowie's song. And at the end of the movie, the mothership and the ground contact crew play a duet of...
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
