A sparkling star of sci-fi innovation, STARMAN is John Carpenter's (Halloween) heartfelt exploration of alienation on planet Earth.
Light-years away from home, an extra-terrestrial space traveler enters US airspace and is shot down near Wisconsin, leaving its occupant life form stranded and in desperate need of help. Starman (Oscar® winner Jeff Bridges, True Grit) arrives at the remote cabin of recently widowed Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull) and transforms himself into the physical state of her deceased husband, convincing her to aid his perilous cross-country journey to Arizona.
With time running out and government agents hot on their trail, keen to possess the scientific discovery of the century at any cost, Jenny and Starman take to the road in an action-packed adventure, exploring the bumpy terrain of human nature and allowing Jenny to rediscover the diminishing frontier of universal love. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Most people forget but Jeff Bridges was nominated for an Oscar for his performance.
Yeah, and I think it was the only John Carpenter film that received an Oscar in any category in his entire career.
This was an outstanding movie and Jeff Bridges deserved the Oscar for this. He said he based his head movements on a bird.
But, this was an oustanding movie.
What movie?

“You are at your very best when things are worst.”
A statement about humanity that is both profoundly uplifting and tragically accurate.
Why?
You believe in this programming trash?
yup
It's this line I think of, every time I read about the bravery of the people in NYC on 9-11.
But, when everything is ok, we shoot and kill each other. as of this writing there have been over 180 mass shootings in the USA.
@@Domino11 and the fact that we'll probably only learn to love one another when things are at their worst, but too late to make a difference and too late to save ourselves from the damage caused by ourselves
For Sherman this was a dream come true. He actually sat down with an alien lifeform and talked to him. It was a short conversation. But it was worth it.
It kissed him on the mouth. I'd take a kiss from Jeff Bridges if it meant I got one from Karen Allen too.
@@OneEyedJack1970 I'm a T and A man from way back, and I completely agree.
I loved this whole layer of film. Amazing how he gained more knowledge than most!!
One of the best lines: “You are at your very best, when things are worst”
And the kiss from Karen Allen was a nice perk.
This has to be one of the most criminally underrated films ever made.🥺
I could not agree more. Even the EFX are great. But Jeff Bridges eating apple pie is epic!
Amen
"Criminally underrated" alert! "Criminally underrated" alert! Once again, no crime and an imaginary "rating system" is nowhere to be found. Yet, the movie is very good. Wahi' Valleys
Agreed. And too bad there wasn’t a sequel.
@@grtechentargee6277 hmmm 🤔 not sure but try checking out the series. It’s closest I will ever get to a sequel.
My grandad died when I was 10, I’m 38 now. His name was John Wood. I saw this film not long after his death. This film takes me back to how I felt, but I always come back to it, because it helps me remember him x
Fantastic descriptive comments. ✅
R.I.P John Wood
A sublime film, and Geoff Bridges should have won the Oscar for Best Actor.
Who's Geoff Bridges? 😉
You are at your very best when things are worst.
KP Moore , reminds me of alot of tragic events we've encountered over the years but I hate to think how we would treat a visitor from another planet.
i've used this a lot in coaching. after seeing this movie it reminded me just how true it is. we're at our best when things are at their worst, because we have to be for survival. great scene
That is a beautiful line of dialog
Hairs standing on neck.
Amazing beautiful comment
A restaurant in Winslow, the town before meteor crater, called the Brown Mug has a picture of Jeff Bridges eating there the same time this movie was being made.
Those lucky bastards lol.
On the corner.
One of the great moments in films.. "You are at your best, when things are at their worst".. The Human race summed up in one neat package. Beautiful..
My favourite movie, my favourite scene of all time. And the ending OMG!
@@charlottearena Many thanks for your thoughtful note. Indeed, this is a special film. A million best wishes, Charlotte.
So very true...
@charotte, Jeff Bridges' is truly a unique individual. Thanks for your note. Best.
One of the best movie quotes in movie history forgotten in time.
2:19, "As much as I hate to stoop to symbolism". Iconic tag-line to a beautiful scene. Charles Martin Smith delivered a great performance as 'Sherman"
I think he was in another movie where he lived among wolves for a year up in Alaska.
@@55QuirllNever cry wolf (1983), Brian Dennehy was in it too

@@tom5051666 Thanks for clearing that up 👍
This movie made me cry and it's very rare
You're not alone brother.
Yeah, I don’t really cry at movies not even at the end of T2 but this movie made me cry.
I've seen this movie probably a hundred times, and I'm not ashamed to admit there are tears every time.
Who didn't cry at the end of this movie? (How to say goodbye)
Or during the scene when he said: "I gave you a baby."
@@Petefx86 Yep, both the how to say goodbye and the baby scene killed me inside!
This movie is just so special and when I see young people watch it and get touched by it... it makes me cry. This movie and “Enemy Mine” made me love sci-fi and think about what is beyond us. “You are at your very best when things are at their very worst” is such an amazing line that touches my heart and makes me understand what it means to be... human.
Enemy mine was incredible and underrated
@@cold10er That was the movie that got me into Sci-Fi. My Dad was a janitor at some sort of “last chance” school and was kinda small and all the rooms were connected. It was summer break and I’d go there and hang out with my Dad and even help him. Why not, I was bored 😆
Anyways, I go to a room with a TV and VCR and some movies and grab "Enemy Mine” and watch it. I’m not being dramatic here but I was “changed” when I was done watching that movie. I loved how it was a metaphor for racism today told though a sci-fi movie with space ships and aliens. After that I started watching other Sci-Fi movies and watched some old episodes of Star Trek then got into Star Trek TNG which shaped who I am today etc., I couldn’t get enough Sci-Fi after that. 😎
Me too....
The movie that made me love movies , I watch it on my birthday every years
That is true about Enemy Mine - Dennis Quaid and Louis Gosset Jr, a very good movie.
The Starman didn't come to Earth to hurt anyone. He came to learn about us.
Daniel Williamson He came to learn about himself.
Benovolance is a rare thing.
Yeah and he learned a lot.
No, he came to get a new rug after Wu peed on his.
@@tonywebster8582 Same thing.
This is such a great scene - Charles Martin Smith is incredible - the sense of awe he conveys is touching amd you feel a certain satisfaction or his character
Check out Never Cry Wolf. He was great in it.
I think Smith could have blown the smoke at a lower altitude, symbolically speaking.
Yes,would,nt you ?its, like being a kid in s candy store. You want to try it all,but don,t have the time to do it..
The most perfectly cast scene ever!I
Never Cry Wolf , close second.
"He said, Good idea".
This was a beautiful movie, with awesome acting, especially by Bridges. Great art.
EXACTLY...
What makes this movie so good is that it embodies that line about being best when things re worst.
John Carpenter took a major "L" when ET was released same weekend as The Thing. Critics, slammed the movie
in comparison and Carpenter was encouraged to make an "anti" movie to his style which he was known for Halloween & The Thing.
Starman is CLEARLY one of his best films because he was really trying to prove himself.
This and the deer scene get me crying like a baby.
Same here. I honestly cried a lot during the whole movie. Touching in such a simple and profound way. We really are a strange species.
Yes, me too, and I'm a guy! Also when he told her he gave her a baby also killed me!
I would add the scene where Starman asks Jenny to define love.
He was mocking God by showing he can resurrected an animal to life!! Wake up and read your Bible. This man was demon possessed. He is not a good being!!!
I still can't believe I saw this at the movies in 1984 with my dad and sisters.
Wow you are a lucky man. I saw it with my dad but not at the theater, that had to be an experience of a lifetime.
You were lucky to see the movies at the best.
@@jts12fan I left the theater and went straight to a record store to buy the soundtrack. What an awesome movie!
I have some extra Aspercream in the bottle. Just ask.
Such an underrated film.
Jeff Bridges was amazing in this and I will be most upset when he actually does leave this earth. 😢
This scene and the deer resurrection are my favorite from the film.
Yeah, if the deer doesn't make you cry you have no soul.
If you ever wonder about the brilliance of Carpenter look at the trooper after Starman kisses Sherman. Beyond subtle and just makes me laugh every time I see it.
Great movie, multi-talented
Director John Carpenter captured the heart of the story in this scene..
Loved it when Charlie Martin Smith's character blows cigar smoke in his superior's face.
Too bad not many people remember this as a movie by John Carpenter, many remember his horror movies and not this.
I wish I could tell you, how many times, my kids watched this movie with me. It's a lot ☺
Then on their own or together, countless until they knew every word of it.
John Carpenter got everything right. From the music, the human message and the suspense.
Especially her face, as Carpenter ends it.
It was in a bargain bin, in a video rental shop (remember them?) Late 1998.
I'd seen the film about 1986.
Now my kids are in their 30s.
Thanks to John Carpenter and everyone in it, for making such a timeless, underrated, enthralling film.
🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
This is such a damn good movie, and so underrated. The chemistry between the leads, the soaring score, the humor, the bittersweet yet uplifting ending--and above all, the insanely wonderful, jaw-dropping performance by Bridges . . . It should be on anyone's Top 10 list.
Agreed ✅
I loved the score that went with it
I saw this movie in the theater with my aunt Alex and my aunt Melissa. For them it was just another night out but this movie resonated with me at a deep level as a child. I’m 44 going on 45 and I still think about this movie. Life is precious and resurrection is a deep inner desire we mostly all long for. This movie repeat’s this theme probably more than most movies I’ve seen or can think of. I believe, I hope in the resurrection. That God loves us enough to know every little detail about us to then be able to bring us back, this is my enduring hope.
A beautiful account ✅
Thank you for that. Sincerely.
Yes very true.. And God WILL Resurrect us all in one of three resurrections over the next 1100 years. The first two are the good ones . The last one is the one you don't want to be in.. But fortunately very few will be in that one overall.
you are at your very best when things are worst. that quote kinda touched me. and that describes quite a few people because whenever things are at their darkest, we all end banning together to help each other get through the dark times
The other line is also very telling: "You are a strange species. Not like any other. Intelligent, but savage..." Sad and very True.
If only we could all take a lesson from this movie... as a whole species.
@@Petefx86 No, you are misinterpreting that line because you are missing part of it. He says, "You are a strange species. Not like any other, *and you'd be surprised how many there are*... intelligent, but savage."
He is SAYING that most of the other intelligent alien life his race have studied is rather unpleasant when compared to humans.
@@Beau74 Good point. But even though I did misquote the line in my comment, when spoken In it's entirety, I still interpreted him as saying although we are not like any other species he had seen, we were also included, to a degree, in that list. Also in his facial expression when he delivered the line. And how he added: (And) you'd be surprised how many there are." Disregard that line for a second, (Keeping in mind there were a lot of people throughout the story who weren't being so nice to him) Break it down, "You are a strange species." Followed by: "Intelligent, but savage..." He sees that we are smart, but equally capable of intense kindness or the most brutal evil. We are, for all of our intelligence, a bit hard for him to understand in our odd ways. And I guess that's the reason I interpreted his comment the way I did.
Also what got me thinking a bit was the "Not like any other." line. Did he, in a subtle way confirm that we as humans are in fact, alone in the universe?
I also liked another point in the film (not quoting and I can't find the clip) he was later telling Jenny about how he would miss the earth and it's people. Because although his species has become more advanced through time, they also lost a lot of things. And he appreciated how we, as humans are all different. The part when he gave her a baby was also a very emotional scene. Overall, I thought it was a beautiful film. Very underrated. And the ending (how to say goodbye) was so very sad and yet so full of hope. They don't write stuff like this anymore. But they should.
The build, the music, the situation.....that line....I cry every time
Bridges based the character's mannerisms on birds he'd watched.
Actually, he learn the "learn to walk" scene from his son.
@@robinalford2186 Both of these things are true.
How fucking beautiful
This was one of my dads favorite movies and now its one of mine.
Jeff Bridges should had been given an Oscar nomination.
Bridges was nominated for this film.
He should had won.
+Daniel Williamson He was.
@@danielwilliamson6180 Not over F Murrary Abraham's performance.
@warrcc c Flawless performance
I have always loved this movie its so touching and sweet. I would love for humans to act more kindly towards eachother.
With the pandemic going on now, this could be a reality as people become more soft & tender hearted.
I would love for that to happen too.
As long as sin and greed exist human cruelty will exist.
Not ever going to happen. Study Baboon culture. They have a lot of free time that they use to torment each other. Humans are beneath that level and behave much worse.
Love the kiss. Great quote.”You are at your best when things are at their worst “.
This is a feel good 1980's masterpiece, with some decent video of 1984 Las Vegas.
Thank you so much for sharing a HD version of this! This scene has been stuck in my head since I saw it as a child.
One of the best movies ever made!
this scene gives me all the feelings
Me too.
You are at your best when things are at their worst. Thank you to all first responders and all those who helped in the rescue effort on this day 18 yrs ago in New York
A textbook example of what “he” meant
Not many people understand and appreciate Sherman's role in this film. I hope when the aliens do visit us they know and understand we are not all evil savages.
I don't think I've watched this movie for decades, but ! have seen it several times in the 1980s. had it recorded on videotape. A really good one. Maybe it's time to watch it again.
way better than ET
Much more mature and deep than ET
ET for grownups
ET is just overrated and definitely not one of Steven Spielberg's best films
Its cause he was the human version of ET
A terrific little movie that unfortunately isn't seen often enough these days.
imagine that to be reality, just other intelligent life forms, checking us out, seeing what we are like, and you get to question one trying to escape government attempts to capture it, you have 2 choices, let it escape or have it captured.
Letting the Alien escape and knowing you'd done all you could for peace, might have just saved the planet in that one moment, you then carry with you for the rest of your life what you've done.
Thank you so much for sharing a HD version of this! This scene has been stuck in my head since yesterday.
This has been one of my most favorite movies ever for so many years. ❤❤❤❤
a beautiful scene from an awesome film
Sat down one day when this hit Cable shortly after it’s release . I Was blown away . Was teenager. Going watch it again .
I love this movie so much, I found it VERY SWEET...😊🙂🙃
Such a bit part of my childhood. This movie was beautiful - Both leads played amazing roles.
1:48 Troopers reaction 🤔 love it
Carpenter überalles !
Such a good movie....cant believe its been so long
I just love many scenes from this movie this is one of them
🥺 0:52 0:58
"Well as much as I hate to stoop to symbolism.."
I absolutely loved this film and that line.
So much so that I once had a job and a boss I despised so much that I created a scene that got me fired.
After he fired me I said that line, the took a pass in his trash can. In front of him.
I never felt so alive and free when I walked out that door.
I hate auto correct.
I pissed in his trash can.
I’ve always loved this movie
The movie foretold what would happen to his son. Why hasn’t a sequel been made? It would be a perfect remake, hell I could even write the script.
They made a TV series a couple of years after the movie came out. It picked up the story 14 years later when Starman (Robert Hays, "Airplane") came back to Earth and he and his son searched for Jenny Hayden (Erin Gray, "Buck Rogers"). The series only lasted one season and all episodes can be found right here on CZcams. Just search for "Starman series"
One of the greatest films
Finished ?
Sherman accomplished his goal, and didn't let the "RULES" taint his experience of it.
Game over , HE WINS 🏆
I love this movie. John Carpenter sure was up to things few are up to. One of my top five favorites!
Incredible !!!
Best scene in the movie with the best lines.
One of the most underrated science fiction films of all time. Carpenter poled this one out of the goddamned park! If this isn't in your collection, remedy that immediately! ^_^
I get happy sad at the ending credits. A great flick of the 80s. Deadly Friend by Wes Craven wanted to go this route but Warner Bros and the producers wanted another Nightmare on Elm Street Jump Scares instead.
I would love to see initial Craven's vision...
I also like the "Take it easy!" "Up yours!"
This scene remind in me a lot of the 1997 film "Contact" when Jodie Foster talk with the alien on Vega and the alien say a very similar line about the human race
Interesting fact. This store is still there, though it's now a gas station right off 40 hwy.
J R not anymore. It's closed and barricaded. Some assholes even vandalized and tore down the huge dreamcatcher that you could see from the highway.
Mike Yeeyah!!! o noooo
thats beyond sad! smh
Antifa destroyed it. Said white people were being culturally insensitive
Thankyou for bringing this to my attention, I have somehow managed to forego the experience of this film... however, I am inspired by this clip to seek out the entirety of Starman!🙏
Loved and still love this amazing movie, one of the best ever.
I've always loved that movie! xo
An underrated sci-fi classic. A treat to watch
This scene, right here!
Jeff Bridges gave a fantastic performance.
John Carpenter can do a warm and fuzzy movie better than other directors .
Such a shame this john carpenter classic is hardly mentioned these days...one of his very best films and yet john hardly mentions it.
My wife and I used to use lines from this movie to make each other laugh. “Tonight I gave you a baby. A BOY baby.” 🤣🤣
As great as Bridges and Allen are, Martin Smith is also terrific. When I saw 'Starman' in the cinema in 1985 (in Ireland) I didn't know the story idea dated back 5 years and assumed it was only developed after 'E.T.' There are a lot of similarities including the slow death of the character unless returned to his race. Carpenter's use of widescreen is again wonderful in this film.
Where did you see it. I saw it in the Adelphi in glorious 70mm.
Columbia Pictures believed Starman would be a huge hit that they passed on another movie about an Alien stranded on Earth: That movie was E.T. Michael Douglas was supposed to play Starman & produce the film but when they were going to start shooting, he was already working on Romancing the Stone. He ended up as executive producer of Starman.
Art is when we we rip something(s) of the world and refashion it/them--in despair, in joy, sometimes with violent passion--into something else to try and connect, to lessen the terrible loneliness humans live with. This film is art.
Mine too! I loved that movie!
Charles Martin Smith is an underated actor. He also appeared in the beginning of that movie when a meteor hits the earth, as he discovered it at the observatory.
I love how they shot this in Arizona and best of all showed how damn windy the place is. 😂
My favorite scene

Love his smile
Absolutely awesome film 🎥, pure class.
Great family movie
The trooper's head turn was just the right amount of subtle...any more and it'd be cartoonish...
unreal that John Carpenter was responsible for this...great film and filmmaker.
Great movie
Really surprised they have not remade this movie
Toad did a great job in this movie
❤ this movie. Oh and the tv show third rock from the sun where the extra terrestrial is dating the anthropologist.
This was such a good movie
if he was that alien advanced, he would not be dying here
I think it’s because the human form he took is deteriorating, and in his true physical form he wouldn’t be able to survive on Earth.
Jeff Bridges is a fantastic actor.
@1:39 I was kissed by an alien’s taste buds! What a gift
I was at that restaurant and gift shop in 1986, 2 years after the making of that movie. The business is gone now and all is left is an empty and decrepit building. 😢
