this is the best trailer for DISCLOSURE DAY

@agraphafx One of my top 3 movies of all times. Especially this moment.

@agraphafx Yup. It’s hard to have a favorite movie of all time but I always find it easy to just say Close Encounters.

@agraphafx That’s why I say top 3 :) also I have a very personal specific reason for it I won’t share here but it’s created a very deep attachment to it. On another note I was lucky enough to see it projected in 70mm recently and it was a blast !

For anyone else wondering: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

What a classic scene. It's amazing how intense this scene is despite it simply being a few guys crowded around an old radar screen user interface. Great screenwriting, acting, and cinematography in close space.

God I wish Disclosure Day looked half this fucking good

I used to fly a UAL REDEYE from SFO to BOS every Friday night—-as a passenger. At the time UAL entertainment offered the aircraft comm frequency on Ch 9 of the audio program. As a GA pilotcwith about 3,000 hours I liked to listen the the centers handing off flights to the next controller, listening to idle pilot chatter. It was about 3am and the cabin was asleep. I had the comms channel on and was slumped against the window in a shallow doze. Suddenly another pilot of another jetliner on frequency said “Holy Shit! Did you guys see that?” “Wow that was incredible !” Said another pilot. About half a minute of excited chatter between several flight decks was finally interrupted by a clearly senior, deeper voiced pilot who said “Forget about it. If any of you say anything about that it will be your jobs”. That ended thr chatter. At time we were over western Ontario Canada at a high transcontinental altitude. Ir was Spring 1994. So these guys did see stuff often -just decided to not report it

The thing that always amazed me about this scene is the sound mix. There’s a level of commotion that makes it clear that although the dialogue on the page is important, what’s happening in that room outside of the frame is equally important. Movies just don’t sound like anymore!

I met a Turkish ship captain once and got drunk with him in Thailand. He said they see all sorts of weird stuff, huge landsided craft often coming out of the water but never report it. Nobody would believe you and nobody wants an investigation that could cost them their jobs. But I could tell by the way he couldn’t stop talking about it that it was really eating him up inside. It must’ve felt great to just tell a stranger with no consequence or judgment.

This is Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Glad there are others who love this scene. It’s staged and acted perfectly. A level of realism that sets the tone for the entire film.

Still recall seeing this at the age of 5. These 3 minutes are better directed than any movie I’ve seen in the last 10 years.

This is the reason I went to the movies when I was little boy. So I could see scenes like this. Absolutely astonishing.

In my humble opinion, this is one of Spielberg's best directed scene - tense, tight shots and over-lapping dialogue make it an outstanding scene.

This was such good filmmaking. Not showing anything but the men in the tower trying to understand via comms - leaving the audience to imagine the UFO. Classic Spielberg face zoom in during the intense seen too. This scene always stands out.

Close Encounters “No… I Don’t wanna report that…”

This was the scene that changed my life and made me want to become an air traffic controller.

I bought Close Encounters of the Third Kind on 4K Blu-ray as soon as it was released and available. Great film!

One of the most iconic shots of the 70s

It's got a very Close Encounters feel to it and like it. The only missing is Francois Truffaut.

Funny, my dad never saw Close Encounters, but told me, as private pilot, many of his fellow private pilots had seen unexplainable things and NEVER reported them as you did not want FAA on your back / coming and inspecting you…. This scene really capturing a truth in at least one sense

such a great film. it’s basically three Spielberg movies in one.

Real facility. Real air traffic controllers. Filmed on a midnight shift at Los Angeles ARTCC.

Spielberg made the masterpiece Jaws and followed it how this incredible movie. His favorite scene of his career is the boy opening the front door to reveal lights from that alien ship. The whole movie gives you goosebumps.

Many sequences of CE3K were a true cinematic masterpiece. What is fascinating is that ALL the scenes in the opening - were based around true stories, as they were entered into real-world X-files. The first opening scene was based around the true unexplained disappearance of US air-crafts, and set of events - that could not have been staged in reality by any means. Search: ''Flight 19''!

It's my understanding that they used real air traffic controllers for this scene. At least 2 of them. @grok is that true?

This is NOT from DISCLOSURE DAY. That iconic air traffic control scene (with the overlapping radio chatter, the erratic primary radar target, the pilots describing "brilliant" alternating lights and non-ballistic motion, and the pilots ultimately deciding not to file a UFO report) is not from any modern "Disclosure Day" footage. It's a classic moment from Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, released in 1977.

This was the best orchestrated directing and acting ever! This scene never gets old.

The way they used slightly modulated radio transmissions and the professionalism of the ATC really lends to the authenticity feel of the scene. Masterclass.

the control room alone would be just washed out Netflix greys and blues now

Great, great movie!!! The tone that is set in the opening sequences is unbelievable.

That AA actor sounds just like Morgan Freeman!

The longest long-tail trailer campaign in the history of cinema.

@McCoolBCB Holy crap, has it been almost 50 years since I saw it at the theatre?

What a great scene. Spielberg is a Master at creating tension with just actors & his direction. Like he did in Jaws, so often it’s not what you see, but what you imagine you see that is most powerful. I cannot wait until Disclosure Day opens! 👽 🛸

This scene is a perfect example of, “there are no small rolls.” This actor took the scene and owned every moment of it, he set the tone for the rest of the film. Something only truly great actors can do.
