Still. It didn’t even get released on VHS until 1988. It’s one of the most famous movies of all time. Guaranteed many if not most millenials saw it as a kid.
Saw it, yeah. But it never really hit with me as something I identify with. I saw tons of things made before I was born, but things that came out after I was completely conscious of storytelling resonate differently.
ET doesn’t do anything for me in this meme. It might as well be Elmer Fudd.
While I will definitely get an Elmer Fudd reference, I won’t really identify with it. It was already an outdated culture while I was growing up. It was the cartoon I watched when I didn’t have other cartoons to watch.
Basically, my father would make jokes about being “vewy vewy quiet” because we were hunting “wabbits”. I knew what he was talking about, and appreciated the humor, but it wasn’t my humor.
Sure, but I have to imagine it was written with currently-alive kids in mind, not the not-yet-conceived. Now get off my lawn.

lol, funny enough I’d also identify with an Elmer Fudd reference. I grew up watching a ton of Looney Tunes in the early 90s.
