Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Julian West I liked this movie when it came out in 1984, and I recently saw it again, and I like it even more, if that's possible. Jeff Bridges' performance is absolutely Oscar-worthy. He truly seems to be an alien being inhabiting a human body. Karen Allen also gives a very nuanced performance, playing a woman who has to travel with an alien who looks exactly like her late husband. This movie has heart, and it's funny. Perhaps the best-remembered line is the alien's deduction about stop lights: "Green means go, red means stop, and yellow means drive very fast."

Byrdz Starman (1984) A re-watch and almost as good as the first time. I like the concept of the "alien and the lady" and him having to learn to operate in a human skin.New to noticing plot holes and goofs and was a little distracted by them but not too much to enjoy the film. The insistent mispronunciation of Chequamegon (Shih-WAH-muh-gone) National Forest as "She-mogg-wahn." was a biggie. They also took a very odd route from northern Wisconsin to Arizona. But we're starting to get picky now.All in all an enjoyable film with a good romance in a sci-fi / fantasy film.

utgard14 An alien comes to Earth (Wisconsin, specifically) and takes the form of a widow's late husband. The "starman" enlists her help getting him to Arizona to rendezvous with an alien spacecraft. Along the way she begins to develop feelings for him. Meanwhile the government, aware that an alien has arrived on Earth, is anxious to find and capture it.One of director John Carpenter's most mainstream efforts but that doesn't mean it's a bad one. It's a movie that obviously owes a lot to E.T. The basic formula of the two films is very similar. Jeff Bridges is great in the lead role. He was nominated for an Oscar for this. The only time a Carpenter movie got an Oscar nod. Karen Allen is also quite good. She and Bridges have a nice chemistry together. The often underrated Charles Martin Smith is another plus. It's an enjoyable film but probably more so for your average moviegoer than critical sci-fi buffs. I like it a lot and don't feel like it gets enough love from other Carpenter fans. Maybe it's lacking many of those Carpenter touches we love but it's still a good movie. This later inspired a short-lived TV series but the less said about that, the better.
