Same plot!

Wow! So true. Never would have noticed.

Yep, swap robot with alien and there ya go! Even government agents and all. Both are still great and have enough of a different feel though, don't they?

The Iron Giant is more depressing however

Very similar in many respects. While my choice isn't necessarily the most popular, I like The Iron Giant a bit more, though that could change with additional viewings of either. Still, these two films, as they stand, are almost perfect.

The Iron Giant is a great movie, but E.T. is probably one of the best films of its kind.

E.T

The Iron Giant is my childhood film.

Love both, but I prefer Iron Giant
