StoneKeeper's Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1474 - So Good You Can't Ignore [LauraGrace traces the skies with STARMAN]
Well, it's been a festive turkey-stuffed evening. How about some dessert?
I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

It was a tussle, but Laura prevails on this journey with Starman (1984), a distinct gem in John Carpenter's oeuvre. Jeff Bridges puppets his body in a very convincing performance of an alien trying to maneuver a foreign robot while Karen Allen provides the emotional center as her character struggles to comprehend this alien life form taking on the appearance of her deceased husband. Also great is Charles Martin Smith as an atypical villain, a government scientist who recognizes the historic implications of this first contact. That this movie is able to pack some big universal ideas into an intimate story is a testament to the narrative, and Carpenter brings a determined vision to perhaps his most sentimental work. I am simply thankful for this movie.
"I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast."
