"Super 8, the latest film from JJ Abrams, arrives in UK cinemas under producer Steven Spielberg&amp;#039;s Amblin label. The movie, which brings an epic science fiction scenario to a small American town, is exactly the type of story that fits in with the Amblin classics we all remember fondly. Below, we take a look back at some of the great movies to come out of Spielberg&amp;#039;s Amblin production company during the &amp;#039;80s. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Few will remember Amblin&amp;#039;s 1981 debut Continental Divide, but its second feature - ET: The Extra-Terrestrial - has certainly not been forgotten. The story of an alien stranded on Earth who befriends a boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas), ET was a runaway box office smash in 1982. The iconic image of Elliott and ET soaring on a bicycle silhouetted against the moon also lent Amblin their logo. ET is an undisputed masterpiece.       Gremlins (1984) No water. No food after midnight. No bright light. These are the rules at the centre of Joe Dante&amp;#039;s kids&amp;#039; horror movie put in place to stop the titular little monsters causing havoc. Naturally, things don&amp;#039;t go completely to plan and Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) unleashes the vicious creatures on his hometown of Kingston Falls. One of our favourite moments from this Christmas-set film is a shocking speech from Phoebe Cates about a very bad festive season.      The Goonies (1985) There&amp;#039;s a dash of The Goonies&amp;#039; adventurous spirit in Super 8 for sure, and this Richard Donner-helmed comedy is not only a great movie but has some significance for modern Hollywood. A young Josh Brolin appeared in a supporting role, director Donner went on to define the modern cop action movie with Lethal Weapon and screenwriter Chris Columbus was the man responsible for launching the Harry Potter franchise. Oh, and who could forget Chunk&amp;#039;s truffle shuffle?!      Back to the Future (1985) Originally rejected by every major Hollywood studio, Steven Spielberg&amp;#039;s belief in Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale&amp;#039;s ambitious time-travel script was rewarded when Back to the Future became the biggest hit of 1985. From the gull-wing doors of Doc Brown&amp;#039;s DeLorean to Alan Silvestri&amp;#039;s stirring score, this is about as good as blockbuster movie-making gets. &amp;quot;When this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you&amp;#039;re gonna see some serious s**t!&amp;quot;      Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) The final entry in our list and the second from director Robert Zemeckis, Who Framed Roger Rabbit&amp;#039;s seamless blend of animation and live action paved the way for his pioneering visual effects work on Forrest Gump and performance-capture flicks such as The Polar Express. A film that&amp;#039;s deeply reverent to classic Disney and Warner Bros animations, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is also notable for being one of the first movies to turn a toon character - Kathleen Turner&amp;#039;s Jessica Rabbit - into a bona fide sex symbol.
