The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)

David Bowie, though at the height of his mid-70s "glam" fame at the time when this unusual picture was made, gives a restrained and dignified performance in this classic sci-fi film directed by Nicolas Roeg from the novel by Walter Tevis. First time viewers like myself should not expect to hear any Bowie music, but rather an odd assortment of music gathered together by John Phillips (of "Mammas and Pappas" fame).

Favorite Movie Quote - "You know, Tommy, you're a freak. I don't mean that unkindly.

I have recently seen the director's cut of this film on a large screen in a private cinema in London. It has never been released to the public and it contains 20 minutes of footage which was cut from the released version.
