The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Sometimes an overstuffed plot and a world that’s knowingly wacky can make a movie feel like it’s trying too hard, but that’s not the case with this 1984 sci-fi comedy, which stars Peter Weller as a brilliant doctor and Jet Car test pilot who’s also a rock star, a romantic, and a sharp-dressed style icon whose adventures feature both a similarly snappy entourage and an unhinged alien nemesis. Somehow, it all boils down to the simplest of truths: “No matter where you go, there you are.” Watch on Tubi.
