Film: Cocoon (1985)

DVD: Anamorphic - Double Sided
Cocoon

"Club house is closed, Gentlemen."
"Maybe they could give us permission to use the pool. We could pay them something. "
"It wouldn't be fun if we had permission."

Review: The DVD box for this movie say it's charming and that is exactly what it is, a charming twilight zone episode. A group of retirees finds they have discovered a fountain of youth when the pool they sneak into begins to be used by a group of aliens who use it too store cocoons that they are pulling from the ocean.

"So you think it's like Bernie said? We're cheating nature?"
"Yes."
"Well I'll tell ya, with the way nature's been cheating us, I don't mind cheating her a little."

3 out of 4 Stars
