Best scene in the movie.... - Starman (1984) Discussion

When Jenny breaks down remembering Scott, trying to define what love is... over apple pie. Sniff.

I agree. That scene always gets me bawling.
But my second choice is when Starman holds a gun up to Jenny then releases the cartridge saying he has no intention of harming her. It just shows how kind this alien is.

The end, probably because it showcases one of the BEST SOUNDTRACKS ever written. Oh, and for the line "Kiss me...and tell me you love me."

The deer scene is probably one of the best scenes in any film to me. It was done SO realistically, and the music....incredibly wonderful! The look on Jenny's face made you smile in wonder too.

The diner scene where she talks about Scott is heartbreaking too, agreed. When she says "Its when someone is a part of you.."

And of course when they say good-bye. Tears aplenty.

The deer scene is indeed spectacular – and so affecting. The first twitches of life. The way it looks back at Starman. I could cry right now just thinking about it.

The diner scene is another emotional whopper. And yes, the end… the end.

Sigh.

My favorite part was at the end when Jenny was like "Take me with you." and he was like, "I can't, you'll die." And she was like, "I don't think I would care." and he was like "I would." It's so sad and romantic!

"I mean you no harm. Jennyhaden." Those six words always get to me.

Did you notice that he got that idea from seeing the home movie where Jenny is saying to the raccoon, "I mean you no harm."

It has to be the scene when he turns from a baby into man. It blew my mind

I liked that scene, the red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast, the opening I can’t get no… satis… faction (was thinking it wasn't that cheezy until the Voyager 2's TV screen opened up... lol), and the ending scenes.

That's my favorite too. This movie may be my favorite; at least top five. I really believe Jeff Bridges should have won an Oscar.

the end is probably the best final scene in cinema history as far as i am concerned

the fade to black of karen allens beautiful fresh young face looking up is just a magical shot for me

My favorite scene is when the guy in the black hot rod who gave Jenny the ride to catch up with Starman created the diversion with the fuel can explosion. That is something I would like to do.
