Great to see images of NYC/Harlem from back in the day. Humor is very clever and subtle. Very entertaining film!

Based on what I'd read about this film previously, I was pretty sure I'd like it. Well after seeing it just now, I liked it much more than I expected. The humor in this film is so well done...from the physical manner in which the other "white aliens" carry themselves, to the conversation of the secretary inside the Marine Midland Bank office ("...he wears these shirts with epaulets on the shoulders..."). Great casting all around. This movie also sends a message about "the man", and his contribution to the black community's drug problem.

Great cult classic!

If you like odd old movies, try this one. Actually I'm surprised no one has reviewed it yet. Funny and strange, this had a real following when it came out. For me Brother from Another Planet is on my top 100 list. Maybe not the best of the best, but I would have it in my movie experience collection for sure.

Totally unexpected!
Added 4/22/2009
This movie is SO cool in so many ways:
The DVD playback quality is surprisingly good considering the age of the movie.
The intermingling of the sci-fi, historical and societal dimensions were breathtakingly thought-provoking.
The characters in this movie?...I KNOW these people!

brother makes some good points
Added 4/7/2009
Brother makes some good points about society and is saved by some good acting despite being cheaply made. But this kind of endears the movie, seems like maybe it should be cheap made.
