Bibi69 picked The kids are like The Goonies.:
The Goonies vibe what was got me to watch this show in the first place, but I really love all of the references from E.T. (there are way more than what I put here, but these are the two main ones).

I only recognized the Stand By Me and Goonies references, 'cause I'm not big on the 80s, but the train track scene gave me feeeels.

I'm a big fan of 80s movies, that's probably one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with that show so easily, it gave me a lot of feels :)

xD Haha!

Will didn't just get weaker and sick because he was away from home though, the dark world was poisonous .

And I don't feel like kids venturing on their own is a special thing, I've seen that in many shows/movies

The Demegorgorn looks like an Alien to me as well.

Well, like ours was to E.T.

"And I don't feel like kids venturing on their own is a special thing, I've seen that in many shows/movies."

It refers to Stand by Me, because they are four characters and they walk on train tracks a lot. It's just a nice reference/nod to that movie. I sure thought of that movie when I watched those scenes.

I didn't put every references to movies they made, because there are tones of 'em. I just put the more obvious ones.

^ And also the scene where they all fought, and the scene where Eleven saves them from the bullies. Those scenes had a Stand By Me essence to them for me as well. Even the scenes in the basement. So I feel like Stand By Me was kinda sprinkled throughout the whole season, just like the ET and other references.

Good point, but I haven't watched ET since I was 6 or something, that's almost 20 years so I didn't remember that... Wow I feel old now xD
