| 2 | * AwardSnub: Unlike Jeff Bridges, Creator/KarenAllen was not nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her beautiful performance. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: |
| 4 | ** The soundtrack composed by Jack Nitzsche is beautiful, especially with cues like "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nip7k0m08PM Starman Leaves (End Theme)]]". |
| 5 | ** That song was covered ''even more beautifully'' by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Ge7fzoTAM the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra]], whose version of the ending theme was sampled by British wonky pop artist Dan Black for his song, "Symphonies". |
| 6 | * ClicheStorm: After the interesting science fiction setup, the {{road trip romance}} plot is rather by the numbers. |
| 7 | * FridgeBrilliance: When you realize that Starman is in fact an [[EnergyBeings Energy Being]], it makes sense that Jenny could not come with him. His race could probably live anywhere - airless rocks, gas giants, the photosphere of stars, even the vacuum of space itself - and would have no need for life support on their ship. |
| 8 | * NightmareFuel: Starman's [[RapidAging accelerated growth]] from infant to adult. The infant stage at the beginning and segments of the transformation invoke [[UnintentionalUncannyValley an eerily similar yet subtly off feel]]. |
| 9 | * RetroactiveRecognition: M.C. Gainey (years before finding fame on ''Series/{{Lost}}'') is one of the cops who tail Jenny and Starman at the hotel. |
| 10 | * SpecialEffectFailure: Though impressive at the time, Starman's transformation hasn't aged gracefully over time in a world where digital morphing is now possible. While the puppet effects by Creator/RickBaker and Creator/StanWinston still hold up well enough, the main issue lies in the transition effect from puppet to actor courtesy of Dick Smith, which looks very much like a bad StopMotion effect. |

| 12 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Dana Kaproff's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiuE95eaUDw wistful theme]]. |
