Starman

Starman (1984) starring Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen, Charles Martin Smith. In response to Voyager II, launched in 1977, an alien (Bridges) comes to visit Earth. He takes human form as Scott, Jenny's (Allen) dead husband. The movie paints a really ugly picture of the human race, as just about all the alien encounters is hostility. But humanity is exonerated by the actions of a few, and the film has a fully satisfying ending. Bridges was nominated for an Oscar for his work as an alien in a human body. The subtitles and closed captions are adequate. Grade: A-
