1976 <p><b>Rated:</b> R</p> <p><b>Plot summary:</b> An alien (David Bowie) comes to Earth to somehow get water for his own dying planet. He loses sight of his goal as alcohol and a love affair with a woman he meets named Mary Lou (Candy Clark) distract him from his mission.</p> <p>Adapted from the much more direct book by Walter Tevis. Director Nicolas Roeg turned it into an "arty" movie: meaningful stares, cryptic dialogue, unexpected cuts between scenes. Much loved by many Bowie fans for two reasons: lots of Bowie screen time, and (at least in the uncensored version) a very brief scene featuring full Bowie nudity.</p>
