You've decided to remember The Brother from Another Planet for later. You can see all your remembered films here.
Summary: The Brother is an alien who has crash-landed on Earth, in New York City. While mute, strongly empathic, and able to fix things, he resembles a Black man with strange feet. His attempt to make a place for himself in Harlem is an allegory for the immigrant experience in the United States. Meanwhile, two bounty hunters from the Brother's home planet arrive and try to capture him. (imdb)

A quietly charming comedy-fantasy that echoes _E.T._, _The Man Who Fell to Earth_, and _Being There_.

Sometimes looks like a Spike Lee reworking of _Being There_ and not all the subplots and story points work, but overall this is a nicely unpretentious and entertaining sleeper.

Another rather brilliant Sayles screenplay uses an alien in the form of an African-American who cannot speak as a way to show the meaningless acts of racism we perpetrate as a society. Morton's best acting role ironically doesn't have him speak a line.

John Sayles combine humour and seriousness in an intelligent and playful film. Witty and fascinating, if not highly gripping.

Low-key, charming, funny, and loose as a goose. Not qualities you at all expect from modern science fiction. but they *are* qualities you believe coming from John Sayles. If anything, the tiny budget makes all this seem more down to earth (so to speak)
