Sci-Fi Classic Review: STARMAN (1984)

1984's Starman, produced in the shadow of Spielberg's E.T., manages to be a uniquely romantic take on alien visitation that sets itself apart from its contemporaries with its optimistic tone, its brilliant performances, and the strong directorial instincts of John Carpenter.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I like this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.
