Lifeforce, also known as "Space Vampires":

I was blown away by the basic concept - an alien ship (150 miles long!) with only 3 living(?) occupants in a wide elliptical orbit hidden in the coma of Halley's comet so it nears Earth every 75 years whereupon incredibly bad things happen. But also a gorgeous female space vampire (Mathilda May) appears unclothed! And Patrick Stewart is in the film:

The primary review on IMDB states:

"...it is quite simply THE most audacious, spectacular, hilarious, absurd, insane, riotous, crazy, deliriously demented science fiction film of all time. I cannot fully articulate why it is deserving of being one spot ahead of Samuel Fuller's "Pickup on South Street" on my list of favorite films, but I do know that it is. "Lifeforce" elevates craziness to an art form. Quite possibly the most entertaining film known to man, and perhaps our greatest achievement as a species."
- euroderf 3y agoYup, this film is VERY entertaining. And it harkens back to "Quatermass and the Pit", which was released in the US as "Five Million Years to Earth".
- pnw 3y agoLifeforce was pretty bonkers, especially for my teenage self who couldn’t get enough of the female lead. Hard to believe it’s the same director as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist - although Spielberg allegedly directed most of Poltergeist.
