CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jenny (Karen Allen) teaches Starman (Jeff Bridges) how to say goodbye as he prepares to leave Earth forever.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Having crashed to Earth, an extraterrestrial space traveller must assume a human identity lest he be captured by the authorities. The alien (Jeff Bridges) chooses the likeness of the recently deceased husband of Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen). At first dumbstruck, Jenny becomes both hostile toward and frightened of her guest. He gradually wins her confidence, learning a few vital English-language phrases so that he can explain his presence. The "starman" has come to Earth with a message of peace, in response to the similar message sent out on Voyager One. He asks for Jenny's help in transporting him to the Nevada desert, where his fellow aliens are to pick him up and take him to his home planet. Soon he and Jenny form a united front against a mean-spirited National Security Council agent (Richard Jaeckel), who intends to seize the starman and turn him over for scientific scrutiny (and possible extermination). While en route to Nevada, Jenny grows closer to the gentle-natured Starman, eventually making love with him. By the time he is poised to leave, she is carrying his child, leaving the field wide open for a sequel--which was never produced, though a weekly TV version surfaced in 1986.

The score, the dialog, the snow falling... This is pure cinema.
Pure 1980's anyway.
Amen to that Dan
Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges were so perfectly cast for this movie. Amazing onscreen chemistry.
Yes absolutely they were
There was something about her that made her the only person to play her role. Gorgeous, but something that radiates calm and warmth and something kind of ethereal. Seen her in other things and being interviewed and it does seem that that's something she carries with her, not purely acting.
STARMAN is too pure for this world. Hands down one of the best if not 'the' best romantic films ever made and a personal favourite of mine.
Yup
I'm a grown man pushing 40 and not ashamed to say that I ball my eyes out to this scene. It reminds me so much like the ending of Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze 😭 😢
Ooooh, yes great comparison, man. Never hit me. 👍👍👍👍👍
Same bro, same !
Right there with you brother. This is like the grown-up version of E.T, with an ending almost as moving.
As did i,I, 1980,s an era of hope and optimism for the future. Then sad moments occur,the "challenger explosion,chernobyl meltdown "same year,months apart (1986)"E.T."another such movie,the music,combined with a good story,will floor you each time.
I'm 40 and I cry at many scenes in this movie, it'll make you think, it'll make you laugh, it'll make you you cry and itll make you cheer
Jeff Bridges performance in this movie is 2 levels above awesome.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! He was phenomenal!!!!!
@@hehhehhuhhuh7014 Agreed one of the all time best performances in fact
@@shel0016 Yes!!!!
@@hehhehhuhhuh7014 I am glad bridges and Allen want to do a real sequel
@@shel0016 Me too. I hope it works out that way!!
This scene is the perfect ending to another masterwork of carpenter. The epic music the dialogue everything is perfect Jeff bridges deserved that Oscar fair and square. It represents one of the hardest things to say to a loved one. Goodbye.
Can they even come close to making a film like this again ?? it touches the heart, it doesn't have all the fancy effects, convincing acting and a beautiful love story.....just utterly brilliant and of course the music is beautiful.
I would think not.
It really does touch the heart. To give a wife who she loved so greatly in life and lost a moment in time with his physical being and give her a baby that isn't just his but of her husband is such a wonderful thing.
Midnight Special 2016
I've always thought that Carpenter wanted to tone things down a bit from The Thing which was diabolically ghoulish -- and totally GREAT too!
Not like this, they tried with interstellar but it just wasn’t the same as this.
Truly one of the greatest love stories ever put on celluloid. The ending is just perfect, the music, beautiful Karen Allen, take me with you moment. Beautiful. There was a sequel to this, well not a sequel, a t.v. series back in the 80's. I thought it was a good series.
Beautiful! Love this film. Jeff Bridges amazing acting. Masterpiece.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
Love it so much when he touches her lips when right before he walks away... I mean damn, starman is the man!
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
one of the GREATEST endings ever...
One of the Greatest Films Ever!
EVER!!!
I have watched this scene dozens of times over the course of 30 years and not once wasn't I left in a face full of tears
To me this is the best movie ever made. I have watched it 21 times. It captures what it is like to lose somebody you really love.
Could there be better music?
One of my favorite movies. Have been able to visit the Meteor crater in northern Arizona where part of it was filmed.
Beam me up Scotty. To crazy down here. Meet me at the crater at midnight
I love the music
No.
@@RandyR Weird.
My name is Randy Richards.
What's up, RR?
:D
The kiss scene that proves it doesn't matter WHO loves you it's WHAT loves you - so long as you're loved!
Yes 😊💜
When my exGirlfriend died I didnt know, Id lost my phone a few months before she passed.. I wish I could have been there with her.. Tell her I never stopped loving her.. Ill never forget her.. Three years and it still hurts..
My Soulmate is Gone But Not My Love or Heart ❤️ Debbie come take me Home to Heaven I Cry a Lot.
Amen.
Agreed :))
So freakin' heartfelt. I want a sequel but at the same time I don't. This warms my hearts and breaks it all at once
There was a star man series in the 80's
@@joethekinghawk7514 And it sucked, IMO. They should have left it alone.
It would be terrible. Jenny's baby (pushing 40 now, lol) would be a they/them, and lecturing the audience on systemic racism, white privilege, and climate change.
@@matt697845 LMFAO ok dude, sure lol
@@matt697845 Your culture war nonsense is a distraction from intellectual honesty.
He gave her a son, hope, and a future
She gave him human love
Nothing better than being loved.
janesgems7 So well put. 👌
@@joethekinghawk7514 but wouldn't you say love is overrated?
@@arnoldjack7956 not real love. A rare commodity by the way.
@@arnoldjack7956 That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
OMG, so good to see this movie again after almost 40 years! I was so impressed by Jeff Bridges' performance. And Carpenter's incredible realization of a great story. I also appreciate Karen Allen -- she was perfect in this. Wonderful!
The music is 50% of how great scene is. The acting is amazing.
I can’t tell you how many times I watched this scene as a kid. I was absolutely in love with an alien 👽 🥰 I later came to appreciate the beautiful cinematography when the ship is going and you just see Jenny’s face. My heart still sinks at that part all these years later.
this movie ending is one of the top 3 that made cry.
lost and delirious (lesbian love drama), and pearl harbor made me choke up a bit
Yeah, the end scene gets bawling uncontrollably me every time. Very strong emotions in that acting, and a haunting theme tune guaranteed to open the floodgates 😭
And I just realized the movie Ghost mimics this scene, character(s) walking out to the horizon and dissappears.
U should watch These Final Hours....major tearjerker at the end too :(
Epic ending scene with an alien leaving, and no need of expensive CGI spaceship. Only Carpenter.
"No need space ship only carpenter"
- what star man would say if you asked him did the producers opt for wooden sets
In most cases I find sequels to be pointless; sapping whatever it can from the original story. Poorly imitating its authenticity and desperately trying to recreate the moments the original cast were able to share with one another and capture on film. Having said that I'd love to see a sequel for this. The original story planted enough seeds for a second harvest. I'd love to try and write it !
So true
Carpenter has Soul. This modern era of Cultural Marxism is hell personified. I hate it all. And this film is a taste of home, A time We will never see again. The end is coming.
@@jdbarr769 i think you're tin foil hat is on too tight!
Awe I love how she whispers Good bye
And I love how he touches her lips with his fingers
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
one of cinemas top ten movies of all time - this ending 😭
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
Now this is a song i could listen to on a 10 hour loop.
I heard it on Musical Star streams obviously around the time the movie came out. Jack Nitsche composed the music
Agreed. I have actually. Lol. If you really want a treat, look for the orchestral version. The synthesizer riffs are taken out and replaced with a full symphony orchestra. The result is nothing short of magical.
I always bawl my eyes out when watching this scene :( I love this movie so much.
So do I.
me too
Damn they dont make films like this anymore..
Nope. It's one of a kind. That said it doesn't need to be improved let alone a sequel
Agreeeeeeeeeee!!!
My favourite film of all time. John Carpenter made some of most violent films ever...and then he made one of the most romantic, tragic, and beautiful films ever. "Goodbye, Jenny Hayden."
what I think is the best aspect, the little orbs he has for his survival but yet unselfishly he uses it on others things
Star man was the ultimate philanthropist
When he brings the deer back to life is the best part of the movie.
I think I just cried a river. Thanks!
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
@@joethekinghawk7514 Man, I totally forgot I wrote this comment. Now I'm crying again. I just cannot handle this scene, and the music just makes me cry even more. I had a bad day today, but crying to this movie seemed to make me feel a little better. Take care, Sam.
@@machiwoomiapoo I pray and I hope that you have better and glorious days ahead (Mach). Albeit starman is one my top 10 movies of all times. Happy new year..
@@joethekinghawk7514 Me too. Take care. My name is Sam, but my UA-cam channel is machiwoomiapoo. Later.
"Goodbye, Jenny Hayden."
😭😭😭😭
This story was ahead of its time. The filmmaking feels poorly done nowadays with all the animation we can do and different technology and techniques that have just improved so drastically from that era. But the script, the music and the acting are so beautiful.
Me too. This is such a moving scene. I also cry every time that I see it.
Great film love it when I was a kid and love it now.
This was a great movie and if you ever seen it in the movie theaters when it came out in the 80s with that movie theatre surround sound and the movie soundtrack playing....nostalgia! :D
i see it 3 times in theater because my father (RIP) love this movie very much.
romeo garcia my condolences to you. I agree with your comment.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
carpenter is my favorite director this movie stuck with me even as a 5 year old in the 80s it stayed in the back of my mind I hadnt seen it since I was 5 so I had forgotten the score for the film but when I watched it finally again at fifteen it all came
back to me this to me is the best film I have ever seen
jeff bridges acting so perfect for this movie and karren allen always love her genuine cool personality since from indian jones raiders of lost arch
Snow in the Arizona desert, got to love that. Perfect ending, I always choke up.
Me to. I couldn't believe how much snow the State of Arizona got a month or so ago.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
one of jeffs best movies.
Like some other of my favorite films, sometimes just hearing the music for a minute or less can reduce me to jelly. When Hollywood wants to be good and not just make money in China and makes films for their American middle class audiences, they can be so inspirational. It's a real art form. (another movie that hearing the music for about a minute is enough to make me run from the room crying is the original 1939 movie "Of Mice and Men", music by Aaron Copland... I'm having to wipe my eyes just remembering the music at the end, after Lenny's demise, when you see the squirrel run up the tree and the leaves falling....you know, I can't see to type practically...)
The way they both underacted this entire movie …and of course Jeff Bridges is playing a detached alien…but Karen Allen…hardly a tear shed when most modern day actresses would bawl it up…just makes it all the more genuine and gut wrenching for me…especially this ending. “Kiss me…and tell me you love me…” let the audience do the bawling
That’s a perfect read on it. She’s barely holding it together, which allows the audience to lose it
Yes!
@@lehah4333 SHE WAS TALKING TO HER HUSBAND 😭
42 years old and this is still in my top 10 of all time, a true love story
I watched this on Netflix the other night, and i truly enjoyed this movie. Very good one. A classic!!!!
This clip here is the end....so sad.....
The ending kinda reminds me of Ghost (Patrick Swayze) Love that movie as well....:):):):):)
Ghost had some awkward dialogue at the end. This was MUCH better.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
@@joethekinghawk7514 Yes agreed ! So sad....but their baby boy will make her happy.....etc. :)) And who knows what will happen...only good things !
@@AlexandraPeters70 through her son she will always have a piece of her husband and starman, plus the world will have a teacher (as said by starman before he returned to the stars)****
This scene is visually magical, the red background and blue back light on a silhouette. Beautiful
That was beautiful 😢
Outstanding film. It still has the same effect on me however many times I watch it. They don’t make films like this any more 😢
I'm 48 and love this movie, I saw it numerous times as a kid growing up. I even shed a tear or two, not ashamed to admit it 💯
That music is so beautiful......
Love this film, Karen Allen is just amazing in it as is Jeff Bridges.
Booooaaahhh, Tränen sind angesagt, einfach nur toll 💕
Und der Sound, sensationell, ich liebe STARMAN 💕💕💕🤜🤛🙌
The thing I love about this scene is the small details. This giant metal ball that travels through the freezing cold of space comes close to the planet above the meteor crater. It's so cold that anything around it instantly precipitates out of the air even what little moisture is in the air. So it's snowing!!!
Ok So I geeked out, but after I watched it a few times, I asked myself.... why is it snowing??? Why can you see their breathe? Because it's so cold.
I'm pretty sure it's snowing because Starman's body doesn't have long and the cold will keep it going a bit longer - he suddenly goes from being bent over and weak to straight backed and somewhat stronger once it kicks in.
80s music and films truly touch the soul!!!! No other era will ever match this, not even in a million years!!!
THESE ARE THE MOVIES WE NEED NOW!!!!
I never tear up for movies but this part does it for me lol
The music is so beautiful.
So true
And so the giant cue ball takes our hero away. Only John Carpenter could make something so amazingly simple work so well.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THIS EPIC MOVIE DIRECTED BY JOHN CARPENTER WITH A TALENTED CREW.
This is true love at its finest sad ending aww.😍😍😍
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
Just sublime from both of them, and that music! Karen is breathtaking. Both should have won an Oscar. You can't get better than this.
This movie was so way ahead of its time. I was in 4th grade when this came out.
This is my favourite film of all time. The director who gave us some of the most action packed, scariest, and violent films, gave us this romantic tale. "Tell me again how to say goodbye." this has me crying everytime.
Can Netflix pick this up? Keep it simple and beautiful just like this!!
Only John Carpenter can make a film as good as this on a next to nothing budget
Man. That theme... wow
made me cry
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
Aww true love sad ending because Jenny fell in love and so did Starman it's amazing he did look like Scott difference her husband could not give her a baby so this is a beautiful miracle.😍😍
Can't believe this movie is almost 40 years old and I still get sad after I see the ending. I think he could have stayed with her if he were using that last little magic glass ball of his.
One of my top 10 movies of all time...
💗
Doesn’t get more 80s than this folks and this is one of the best movies of the era!
John Carpenter. Legend.
I'm not crying...Are you crying?
“Tell the baby about me”
What’s powerful about this line for me is that in the train scene he tells Jenny “when he grows up, he will know everything I know”
So the fact that he tells Jenny this at this moment represents doubt, even fear which are human qualities!
Such a small detail but wow!
That music .
This movie, Ghost, Oblivion, and the Green Mile will always make me sad and shed a few tears.
I've honestly not seen Karen in anything other than Indiana Jones. This is fantastic, I should have looked harder for her work.
She is great in Animal House and The Wanderers among others
Scrooged (1988) is another great performance by Allen.
One of the most heart touching endings ever
No please don't make a remake of this iconic movie....a sequel yes, but no remake.
BEAUTIFUL MOVIE!
I almost cry.. .
Everybody should watch this
I thought when he left the human body would collapse
The sphere will tell their child who his father is and where he comes from.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
Starman is an allegory for visiting Detroit. Foreign visitor gets map from locals. Detroiters shoot and take his car, Visitor is chased through out the city, Visitor ends leaving city on the bus.
such an underrated movie and one of my all time favorites
You are right. John Carpenter was a genius!
They need to make a sequel to this. The ending sets it up!
They tried to, supposedly, but it never went anywhere.
There's no need for a sequel. This is the perfect ending.
Goodbye,Jennyhayden.
That was his Jenny. She couldn't come where he was going and he couldn't stay where she was, sad, sad.
He is some sort of energy based entity.
GREAT movie.
Best movie of all time
Brividi mi viene la pelle d’oca troppo commovente di una sensibilità pazzesca💖🩷🩵🌟🌟🌟
Forgotten masterpiece!!
I think a follow up movie surrounding the Starman child and a story about him growing up into an adult who could potentially change the world as we know it would be GREAT 💗💗💗💗💗
EPICKIE.KLASYCZNE ZAKOŃCZENIE..I TA MUZYKA...
Ciary idą
This movie is ready for a part 2!
There was a t.v. series in the 80's that followed his return to teach his son.
Will never happen.
That music at the end wow😢❤
Did neither of them wonder where the music was coming from... They are in the middle of the desert lol
This movie and Ghost with Patrick Swayze.......2 heartfelt goodbyes
I watched this movie as well as "Cool Hand Luke" with Paul Newman in social studies class back in the 80's. Both were great movies and both had meaningful teaching points on human psychology.
"Why you got to go and say fifty eggs for? Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine?"
StarMan Rules!!!!!
The best films.
