Line 9:
[[John Carpenter]]'s ''Starman'' is a kind of ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.]]'' for adults, played as a [[Road Movie]] of all things. Fans will argue that it's a beautiful, beautiful love story between [[Alien Among Us|a man from the stars]] ([[Jeff Bridges]]) and an Earthling woman (Karen Allen) while dissenters will argue that it's a mediocre [[Cliché Storm]].
Starman arrives on Earth as a result of Earth having transmitted welcome messages to any alien life, and clones himself an environment
As usual, the military [[We Come in Peace, Shoot to Kill|has it in for friendly aliens]]. They are led by the hard-as-nails George Fox (Richard Jaeckel) who wants to dissect or kill Starman. His obligatory [[Morality Pet]] Mark Shermin (Charles Martin Smith) vainly attempts to convince him to do otherwise. {{spoiler|In the end, Starman has sex with Jenny, reveals he gave her a baby (she couldn't have children before he came along) and then he catches his ride home.}}

* [[Humans Are
* [[Humans Are Special]]: As usual.
* [[Klingons Love Shakespeare]]: Starman can't get enough of Dutch apple pie, to the point that eating it is nearly a sexual experience for him.
Line 39:
* [[Super Human Trafficking]]
* [[They Would Cut You Up]]: Jenny and Shermin's concerns of what awaits Starman if Fox catches him.
* [[We Come in Peace, Shoot to Kill]]: Played rather [[Anvilicious
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]
