Starman (1984)

In John Carpenter's romantic, tearjerking science fiction film, it told about a stranded Starman (with his hostage-turned-lover) who was in a race against time to travel cross-country to Arizona where his fellow aliens were scheduled to pick him up and take him back to his home planet:

• alien Starman (Oscar-nominated Jeff Bridges) was created from DNA found in a hair strand (in a photo album) of recently-widowed Jenny Hayden's (Karen Allen) dead painter-husband Scott; the Starman became a cloned duplicate or likeness of Jenny's deceased husband
• the naive, robotic Starman gave an ecstatic reaction to Jenny's Dutch Apple Pie
• the Starman miraculously resurrected and healed a dead deer that was strapped to the hood of a car of a deer hunter (Ted White) parked at a bus stop
• after the Starman made love to Jenny in a wet sex scene on a box-car train, he had impregnated her, although she was disbelieving because she claimed she was infertile: "No, that's impossible, I can't have a child"; he reassured her: "I have given you a baby tonight...Believe what I tell you, a boy baby"; he also told her that the child would be human but would possess all of Starman's knowledge: ("He will know everything I know, and when he grows to manhood, he will be a teacher"); she refused his option of stopping it: "If you do not want this baby, tell me now, I will stop it" - her answer was an embrace and kiss
• in a diner/restaurant while trapped in federal custody, Jenny and the slowly-dying Starman were approached by SETI scientist Mark Shermin (Charles Martin Smith), a Cornell University graduate; Starman delivered an eloquent speech to Shermin about the human race: ("We are interested in your species...You are a strange species, not like any other, and you would be surprised how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst")

• Jenny begged Mark Shermin: ("Let him go, Mr. Shermin, please. If he stays here, he'll die. Can't you see he's dying now?"); after Shermin agreed to help the Starman escape rather than having him captured and vivisected by the Army, Jenny gave a 'thank-you' kiss to Shermin - imitated by the Starman

• the dying Starman bid farewell to Jenny in the middle of Arizona's Barringer Crater - the rendezvous point where he was met by an alien search party from above that would take him from Earth forever. He told her: "I must go"; Jenny hugged him and begged to go with him: ("Take me with you"), but was not permitted, since he knew she would die on his planet: ("I cannot...You will die there")
• he requested a 'human' goodbye that she had taught him: ("Now, tell me again how to say goodbye"), and she gave him a simple reply: ("Kiss me and tell me you love me"). She was saddened: ("I'm never gonna see you again, am I?"). He requested: ("Tell the baby about me"), and gifted her with his last small silver sphere: (Jenny: "What should I do with this?" Starman: "The baby will know").
• the final lingering close-up shot was of Jenny's face as she watched the healed Starman departing on his starship to return home, to the sounds of Jack Nitzsche's swelling score
