[Pete]

The highest-grossing movie of the 80s was "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." Directed by Steven Spielberg, it was released in 1982 and quickly became a massive box office hit, earning about $792 million worldwide. It held the record for the highest-grossing film of all time until it was surpassed in the 1990s by Jurassic Park.
