An unexpected early John Carpenter movie (I finally just learned) with a wonderfully developed, and character development love story between two species. I've lost count how many times I've watched this and never grow tired of it. If it wasn't for Karen and Jeff breathing life into their characters, this could have been the dullest movie ever made. Instead it's unique, heart warming, sensitive, with lots of one liners (from spoiler scenes) that turns it into something deeper during their road trip, and become fugetives as they run from the law.
