Starman
Extremely pleasant, genteel film about an alien who lands on earth and abducts a young widow to help him travel cross-country so he can rendezvous with his spaceship. However, he's made himself look just like her late husband, and she finds herself attracted to him. Two solid performances by the leading duo of Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen.
