E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Thirty-five years ago this month, an extremely homely but endearing little alien won the hearts of audiences and smashed box-office records. The movie further enhanced the reputation of director Steven Spielberg, introduced audiences to an adorable, golden-haired tot named Drew Barrymore, and went on to win four Oscars. The American Cinematheque screens “E.T.” as part of its 82 Blowup! film series (which includes other notable 1982 releases “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior,” “Tron,” and “The Thing”). American Cinematheque, Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. (323) 466-3456. June 18, 5 p.m.; June 23, 7:30 p.m. $15; $13 for Cinematheque members. www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/ “E.T.” also screens at the Orpheum, one of downtown L.A.’s classic movie palaces.

Monterey Pop Before Coachella, Lollapalooza or even Woodstock, there was the Monterey International Pop Music Festival. One of the first events of its kind, the Monterey Pop Festival is notable for its lineup that included Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Buffalo Springfield, Laura Nyro and Ravi Shankar as well as for kicking off the storied Summer of Love, 50 years ago this month. The following year, D.A. Pennebaker released his documentary, which cemented the festival’s place in rock ‘n’ roll and 1960s lore. Pennebaker will be the guest at the first of the Cinefamily’s two screenings of a restored print of the film on June 19. The Cinefamily, Silent Theater, 611 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles. (323) 655-2510. June 19-20, 7:30 p.m. $12; free for The Cinefamily members. www.cinefamily.org “Monterey Pop” also screens as part of the American Cinematheque’s Summer of Love series. Aero Theatre, 1328 Montana Ave., Santa Monica. (310) 260-1528. June 23, 7:30 p.m. $12; $8 for Cinematheque members. www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/

Sing-a-long The Sound of Music The hills are alive with the sound of music! The Hollywood Hills that is. The annual Hollywood Bowl sing-along with Robert Wise’s film version of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is a must-do summer event for even the most cynical Angeleno. Audience members are encouraged (but not required) to dress as nuns, goat-herders, and countesses. Edelweiss will be included in this year’s Fun-Pack goody bag, but you can leave the snark at home. Hollywood Bowl, 2301 Highland Ave., Hollywood. June 24, pre-show, 6:30 p.m., movie and sing-a-long, 8 p.m. $46-$295. www.hollywoodbowl.com/
