 - A classic movie, and classic reminder that nothing has changedThis is a classic Sci-Fi move, the one that put "Klaatu barada nikto" into our vocabulary. Re-watching this movie reminds us that in 50 years nothing really has changed. We still await (and yearn for) signs of intelligent life in the universe. Rating: - The Day the Earth Stood StillONE OF THE TOP 5 OF ALL MOVIES EVER MADE IN SCIENCE FICTION. THIS MOVIE IS STILL RELEVANT TODAY. DON'T LET BLACK AND WHITE KEEP YOU FROM WATCHING THIS CLASSIC MOVIE. MANY MOVIES HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY THIS STORY. Rating: - There must be security for all or no one is secureThis black and white classic from 56 years ago tells as much about our society even now as the CGI and monkey cam films of our current day and age. Klaatu (Michael Rennie) came to Earth with a simple message. Space travel makes the universe smaller and what one race does eventually harms everyone. So, Earthlings be peaceful--or else. Unfortunately, a soldier too quick on his trigger finger shoots him just as his space ship landed on the mall in Washington, DC. Klaatu escapes US military custody and goes out to evaluate humanity on his own. "The Day the Earth Stood Still" shows earthlings at our best and worst. It's such a simple film, no color, very little in the way of effects, and yet the starkness has a strength and beauty we seldom depict in today's films. Great message, great film. I'm very glad to have the opportunity to see it. Rating: - The Day The Earth Stood Still.This is a classic of the first order. Wonderful message, still good today. Not overplayed. Great cast. A wonderful buy anytime. If you like SciFi, then this is must for you collection. I can't think of a better movie. Rating: - A movie for all timeFusion: Sizzle "The Day the Earth Stood Still" has got to be one of the very best science fiction movies of all time. I have one in my favorite movie collection. I also see in the news today that they are doing a remake of this fantastic movie. And while I am sure it will be more than excellent, there's just something about this one that will remain with me for all time. I love it! Five stars! I'd give it ten, if I could.
