THE DAY THE EARTH STILL STOOD STILL 1951 Trailer
To this day, the 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still, written by Edmund H. North and directed by Robert Wise, remains one of my all-time favorite movies. I first saw it as a kid. Patricia Neal immediately became one of my favorite actresses (and this was long before I saw her in Hud and The Subject Was Roses), though at the time Michael Rennie didn’t do much for me. (I did, however, love the robot.)
Watching it as an adult, I was surprised that so little in The Day the Earth Stood Still looked silly or dated. Whether at the time of its initial release in the post-World War II era or in the first decade of the third millennium, the film’s message that either Planet Earth embraces peace or it’ll be destroyed for all eternity is just as valid. Just don’t expect most human beings to listen.

This is a film I watched as a kid as well. My father introduced me to Sci Fi films, and we’d watch it whenever it was on.
I am not a happy camper that they are remaking it. It offends my sensibilities as much as if they were remaking “Ordet” or “The Seven Samurai” (wait, wait … they remade that one umpteen times …)
