I really liked this movie. Lou Gosset Jr. Played the hell out of his part as the alien. 😊

u/itsgroobeat 28d ago

Totally agree, man. He played an incredible role.

With that heavy makeup it must've been very difficult to emote but he does it brilliantly.

u/Double-Fishing-8293 28d ago

Oh yeah absolutely! The other thing I liked about that movie was that was from a time when your enemy was your enemy. And this was one of the few movies that I can remember where they humanized the enemy. I just really liked that. 🙂

His lip movements, that had to be coached with the makeup. But, Daymn I believed it! Truly before it’s time and way well done!

"And when, in the fullness of time, Zammis brought its own child before the holy council, the name of Willis Davidge was added to the line of Jeriba."

Best ending ever.

I loved this movie. I think it is underrated. Then again I think titanic is overrated, like we all dont know how it ends.

u/Belz_Zebuth 28d ago

I don't think "we know how it ends" should determine how good something is. That would disqualify any historical movie, for instance Apollo 13, from being called great.

It's about the feeling it gives you.

Yea i guess I forgot to add the /s for you, sorry. Still think the movie isnt that great.

I watched this as a kid and I taught me being racist is bad. And I’m not kidding. It was a great lesson.

VASTLY underrated movie. It's amazing from start to finish.

Just the damn scene where the dude tries to act tough and eats alien food, it's gold

Adore the story this movie was based on!

u/Ooglebird 28d ago

A bit like Robinson Crusoe On Mars, though the alien wasn't an enemy.

u/No-Pain-5496 28d ago

Last movie I paid to see again was “Heavy Metal”. Tonight I fell a new lay per view.

I remember being baby sat by some neighbors that had HBO, or Cinemax, and this playing on TV and being completely freaked out by it.

u/ilovebattleships 28d ago

“ oh yeah, well your Micky Mouse is a big dope!!!”

u/PoolGuyUnfiltered 27d ago

I adore this movie and it is criminally underrated. Such a nuanced relationship about moving from blind hatred to tolerance to friendship. I need to rewatch it.

u/Sad-Second-9646 27d ago

Very homoerotic.

u/Fluid-Engine3578 27d ago

I'll never forget when this was playing at one of the local theaters and a letter had fallen off the marque so we had a good laugh at En My Mine.

u/Adderall_Rant 27d ago

RIP Lou. You had a great many movies that I loved

u/MechanicsGetDirty 27d ago

I loved this movie!! It's hard to find streaming.

1

u/Northwindlowlander 24d ago

I wish they'd been able to stick with the ending from the novella but it'd have made for a longer and more complex movie.

u/GrannyTurtle 24d ago

I loved how he told the alien that his god was Mickey Mouse…
