The most memorable part of Close Encounters is the musical theme that has become iconic and recognizable by most all movie fans, but the movie is fairly slow and I found it to be somewhat overrated. Granted it was a good movie, and the acting provided by Dreyfuss is very good, but it suffers from a lagging story and does not become to interesting until the final 20 minutes of the movie, and even then it is somewhat anticlimactic.

Sci-fi fans may find it spectacular, but overall it was disappointing to me.
