Cult Clip: The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)
Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell To Earth is still as strange and baffling today as it was 30 years back. David Bowie, at the height of his powers, plays Thomas Jerome Newton - a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to get water for his dying planet. He starts a technology company to make the billions of dollars he needs to build a return spacecraft.
It's a film you'll either love or hate - but it's one that always demands your full attention. If you want to see it for yourself, the movie has just been reissued as a 2 disc special edition. Check out the original cinema trailer below for a taster.
