    Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, which explores the theme of human contact with extraterrestrial life. The story follows Roy Neary, an ordinary man who experiences a close encounter with a UFO, leading him to become obsessed with understanding the phenomenon. As he and others search for answers, they are drawn to a mysterious location, Devil's Tower, where a series of strange events unfold. The film focuses on themes of wonder, communication, and the search for truth, blending human drama with awe-inspiring depictions of UFO encounters. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Director Steven Spielberg stated that nothing in his life had been more difficult than editing the final 35 minutes of this film.” 
      
    “The words that the crowd in India chants are "Aaya Re! Aaya," which means "He has come" in Hindi.” 
      
    “For the scene in which Barry says "toys!" as he looks out the window and spots the UFOs, Steven Spielberg actually pulled out a toy car behind the camera to cause Barry's reaction.” 
      
    “This film is shown every night at the Devil's Tower KOA Campground, thereby making it one of the most screened movies ever.” 
      
    “The film became one of the first to have a "Special Edition" director's cut made when Steven Spielberg wanted to improve his original vision.”

    Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. 
     
     
     
    The term refers to the predominant trees in the vast forests that cover the area and to the quality of the soils below, which are too sandy and acid to be good for farming. On all sides, however, developments of one kind or another have gradually moved in, so that now the central and integral forest is reduced to about a thousand square miles. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home.

    This memoir of a retired Marine corps officer’s hike on the Appalachian trial is a humorous, inspirational travel narrative of the journey of a lifetime.     “In early spring each year, an exodus takes place in this country. A cross-section of humankind makes its way singly, or by two’s and three’s, to an isolated mountaintop in northeast Georgia. These sojourners—weird looking creatures burdened with huge loads and wearing strange garments—are linked by their appearance and behavior. They share a common purpose: to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia’s Springer Mountain to Mount Katahdin in a single season. These creatures call themselves ‘thru-hikers.’”   So begins J.R. “Model-T” Tate’s tale of his own thru-hike of the AT. As he recollects grueling climbs, knee-wrecking descents, mountaintop thunderstorms, snakes underfoot, and the myriad characters he encounters, Tate also conveys the beauty of the trail and the community that surrounds it in this inspiring travelogue.
