Not sure how well E.T. has aged. I'd substitute Menace II Society in place of Boyz in the Hood. Much superior movie in every way.

Shawshank and Goodfellas are both MUST SEE. Expect to watch each of them at least two times though to fully appreciate them.

On a side note, watch Goodfellas before Menace II society. The Hughes brothers have proudly stated that they blatantly ripped off a lot of Scorcese's filming techniques that he used in Goodfellas when they made Menace.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Spoiler for Spoiler: The long tracking shots and the foot stomping scenes are two prime examples. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
