need help on a movie I vaguely remember from when I was young
 

Vague brain images of movie from maybe the late 80's or early 90's
-creatures were extra-terrestrial and they were naked (had a human type form, but not all human characteristics)

-they would put their hands together in some way to communicate (some kind of Y shape), to make a high pitched noise or whistle, to communicate with each other
-they maybe formed some friendship with a boy and he was sad when they were leaving

Those are good guesses, but I don't think those are it.

Another thing I remember is a desert setting. At the end the naked alien(s) walking off into the desert and making that high pitch nose while putting its arms together.

I think Starman ends in a desert, but the rest doesn't jive.
