Close Encounters/Starman

This movie is still a classic after so many years. A family man goes out to do a late night run in his truck. He stops to peruse his map when another car comes up behind him. He waves it around him then another "car" pulls up behind him and again, he waves it around him. This time the lights raise above his truck and blind him with their powerful light. He ends up with a half face tan. After this encounter he goes home and anything he can use to create a sculpture that has the look of Devils Tower, he creates. To a point that he creates a huge dirt, chicken wire, plants, and rocks in the entire living room. His wife freaks out and leaves with the kids. Then he sees a news story about closing down Devil Tower because of a toxic outbreak and recognizes it as his sculpture. Meanwhile, a child also sees and hears the spaceship. He crawls out the dog door which Mom forgot to close in her panic. The little boy is laughing and gets picked up by the spaceship. The mother tries to get him. It its too late. She starts drawing Devils Tower but doesn't have it quite right. That's all I'm going to say about it for now. I don't want to ruin the story.This came as a double feature with Starman. It's about a creature from out of space that crashes his ship near "Jennie's" house and goes into it and with the help of several. Ally he brought, he becomes human from a baby to an adult in about 3 minutes using Jennies dead husband (Scott, I think). He has no language except what he learned from a capsule sent into space. "On behalf of the United Nations...." Jennie passes out. When she wakes up she thinks it's just a dream but it's not. She's freaked that Scott is there but it can't be Scott. He forces her to take him to Winslow, Arizona to the crater. That's where the rescue craft will pick him up. She starts as a kid napping victim. It later on she comes with him willingly to help him make it home. And that's all I'm going to say about that movie.

Okay, so everyone loves Close Encounters, so $9.99 for that would be acceptable. But add in Starman, and it's an incredible deal. Since most people know Close Encounters, no review is needed. But many people aren't familiar with Starman.In my opinion, Starman is the better movie. I feel like it is more believable. Jeff Bridges is absolutely brilliant as the alien who crashes, and in order to get back to where he can be picked up, he takes some DNA and creates a human body to live in and travel there. I don't want to give any spoilers, but Jeff Bridges, the Starman in a human body, is so completely believable in this role that it's amazing and so entertaining. Totally believable. When he tries pie, his reaction is so perfect. Karen Allen does a good job as a conflicted human, although it is so hard to be believable going from the scared and horrified human encountering an alien to someone who wants to help him.Sure, a lot of the plot is predictable. But it is really entertaining. Buy the disk for Close Encounters, but then be grateful they included Starman with it.

Two classic sci-if movies at an unbeatable price. What’s more to like. I remember seeing Close Encounters as a child, when it arrived in theaters, as well as for Starman. Both of these movies are a must for UFO-in-fiction enthusiasts.

Close encounters gives the sense of wonder in discovery of the possibility of live elsewhere. Starman is joyride of the impossible.

These are both great movies that stand the test of time, despite some clunky technology in the 40-year-old Close Encounters. Both these films deal with alien/human encounters are are benign rather than scary, as in Alien. I think Close Encounters is the stronger movie, but Starman, with its interstellar romance, is sweet and charming. If you haven't seen these -- or if it's been a long time since you have -- I recommend this bargain-priced set.

Nice to see CLOSE ENCOUNTERS again--I guarantee you that actually going to Devil's Tower is awesome!We really got this for STARMAN--an excellent movie that brings up some interesting questions. And, Meteor Crater in Arizona is incredible. The movies are great, the landmarks even more so.

I bought this duo just to get a copy of "Close Encounters" movie, which has held up exceptionally well as a current plot. The script, the actors, and the music score stay with you. Five notes of music you will never forget. A very hopeful, intelligent movie. My family loves this movie.

I bought a double DVD Close Encounters of the Third Kind along with Star Man with Jeff Bridges.Close Encounters is a good Sci/FI. Both these movies DOES NOT HAVE THINGS EATING PEOPLE. . In both of these movies are the good guys. Dreyfuss shows just how good an actor he is, he was a young man when this was filmed.STAR MAN is also a very good Sci/FI , another innocent man from outer space. How he forms himself into Debra Winger dead husband. It has some funny moments and some very loving moments. Very good movie.

Remplacer des bons films que j'avais sur cassette VHS

Good solid plots

This is probably counterfeit, because about a minute before the Close encounters movie finishes, it stops abruptly, with no credits.

Ce sont des classics a apprécier encore et encore

Parfait, bonne qualité.
