I’ve been on the lookout for this one for a while. We looked through six boxes of a vendor’s magazines at the Chiller convention and it was LITERALLY the last one!
Seller said, “The Bee Gees!” And I said, “Uh, no, Close Encounters!” #closeencountersofthethirdkind #closeencounters #stevenspielberg

Happy 45th anniversary to Close Encounters of the Third Kind Special Edition!
I know it’s a lot of people’s favorite version, even if it’s not mine, but I sure appreciate scenes like the Cotopaxi!
And in celebration, doesn’t this screen grab from earlier look a little familiar? 😉 #ce3k

Variety Magazine ad from 1978 for François Truffaut (Claude Lacombe). Louis Letizia provided the original scan.
Ultimately Melinda Dillon got the film’s only acting nomination. #closeencountersofthethirdkind #closeencounters #ce3k #françoistruffaut #francoistruffaut
