The others you mention, yes, but E.T.?It was a revolutionary film at it's time. A friendly alien? Think about the culture it spawned. My kids were carrying around E.T. dolls for years!
No one cared about science fiction or space at the time. This movie really was a milestone despite any cinematic shortcomings it maight have had.
