Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Starman (1984)

The Starman has small balls and Jenny Hayden has big eyes, and when they get together…

The special effects are dated and there are a few plot holes, but this is a great film with a huge helicopter budget – highly recommended.

(video: fair use clips from the film)

Accessible video description:

a hand opens showing two small silvery balls, Starman looks pensive, he picks one ball out of his hand and looks sad or meditative; Jenny Hayden is in the dark and looks scared or amazed, she has big eyes; a spaceship that is pointy in front and spherical in the back heads towards Earth; fighter jets take off, one of them fires at that spaceship as the jet’s instrument panel is shown; cut to a house in a rural setting, then the camera is looking out through the window as a fireball streaks across the sky with a picture of Jenny and Starman inside the house in the foreground; the fireball crashes into the ground with a spectacular fiery explosion rising into the air.
