Cocoon is a 1985 sci-fi fantasy comedy adventure and stars Steve Guttenberg, Brian Dennehy, Tahnee Welch and Wilford Brimley... Although not the best sci-film ever made it's certainly in my list of one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made and certainly one of the most imaginative and original sci-fi's of it's era.

.. Some aliens come to earth and drop the cocoon eggs in the ocean, the aliens look like humans but can remove their skins but the cocoon's eventually are thrown into a swimming pool after being given permission to use the pool.

The cocoon eggs have some strange youthful power or something but when 3 old aged pensioner dipsticks start farting around in the pool and inviting others in the pool and more or less destroying the eggs some tears by the aliens take place because they finally know what if feels like to experience loss.

They eventually end up transferring the remaining cocoons back to the ocean and sod off back to space in their flying saucer taking a few earth people with them especially the granddad's and grannies so they'll never age and get old or sick.

.. Cocoon is filled with extraordinary visuals, some romance scenes and plenty of adventure and good acting. Faultless movie.
