Definitely, a classic. This was one of the first "could be true" alien movies made. Jeff Bridges played this role to a "T" and Karen Allen was excellent too. Considering this was made 25 years ago, the film quality and very little use of graphics are amazing. Loved it.

Fun but movie does not have re-watchability.

I don't make a habit of reviewing DVDs. This is not your typical John Carpenter flick - like "Escape From New York" or "They Live" - which are awesome! - but I have watched this movie many times as well.

At its core it is a romance, it is about an alien and a human woman who go from not understanding each other at all to falling in love. It is deep and allegorical and everything that a typical John Carpenter film is not - and it is one of his best.
