I'm just rewatching Enemy Mine (1985). Like many pre-digital sci-fi films, its fantastic practical FX include a space battle and a few giants creatures for the protagonists to fend off. But what makes this film great is the concept, taken from a novella by Barry B. Longyear, and the performances by the two leads. Dennis Quaid as the rough-as-guts human fighter pilot Davidge, and Louis Gosset Jr. as the non-binary Drac he nicknames "Jerry".
