The Day the Earth Stood Still
G
Robert Wise (who later went to helm
Star Trek: The Motion Picture two decades afterward), does this ambitious
science fiction thriller about a visit from outer space where aliens demand the
Cold War ends, or they will destroy Humanity entirely. Now keep in mind that
thrillers in the 50s didn't have the kind of punch or special effects they do
now, so view this as a dramatic space action flick if you like, not so much an
action thriller. Clearly one of the best flicks of that decade, and maybe one
of the best scifi flicks of all time. Like 'Forbidden Planet' and 'Alien', a
staple of the genre. Review by Adam Browne
