The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)

So my friends got me that 1001 Movies to See Before You Die book when I moved and I've started watching a few of the odder movies in it. I'll be posting as many reviews as I can in here, just so I remember what they are about...
+1 for David Bowie (obviously);
+1 for a young Rip Torn;
+1 wait Rip Torn is into raunchy sex?;
-1 with underage college co-eds;
+1 wait, with underage college co-eds!;
+1 for aliens and their advanced technology;
-1 self developing film? Really? Is that it?;
-1 wait, they heard about Earth on TV?;
+1 Bowie's into rough sex too?;
-1 with guns?;
-1 ahhhhh David Bowie's penis! Woman who fell to Earth?;
-1 damn and Rip Torn's too? Clearly someone had some sexual issues Roeg;
+1 for making David Bowie even more creepy than he already is;
+1 he scared the piss out of me too;

Total: 2
Final Call: David Bowie is actually an alien, so this was more of a documentary.
