Here are the references to '80s movies in Netflix's great new show 'Stranger Things'

If you've heard anything about "Stranger Things," it's that Netflix's latest show makes some interesting references. Actually, a lot.

The series that's been called a "Frankenstein's monster of '80s influences" includes nods to, among many others, "Alien," "Firestarter," "The Goonies," and most of all "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."

To see just how often "Stranger Things" tips its hat to the sci-fi, horror, and fantasy classics before it, watch the video Ulysse Thevenon edited together on Vimeo. His supercut doesn't include every scene from the series' eight episodes, nor does it feature every tiny reference, but it has the major moments that any good fan should know. And it's of course set to the ultra-'80s opening theme by Austin synth band Survive.

Get ready to see a lot of Steven Spielberg.
