[[John Carpenter]]'s ''Starman'' is a kind of ''[[ETE.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|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 suit -- the [[Naked On Arrival|naked]] form of Jenny Hayden's dead husband. She is very freaked out by this, and at first only wants to get away from the freaky dead ringer for her dead husband. But she (eventually) agrees to take him to Arizona, where he has his only chance to meet up with the other aliens and go home. Naturally, this leads to a long road trip (Starman has gotten dressed by this point) involving a lot of learning about life on Earth, bonding and ultimately romance.
