RE: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

There is a dignity to the original that is part Rennie's performance and part of the reserved "let's not do tentacled many-legged things" approach (to tie in to the mention elsewhere of "Village of the Damned" which works because of the same restraint.)

Living in DC, it's of course always fun to see the fools on the Hill get theirs and to see the great dedication in the stop-motion destruction of the monuments. The film transcends its dated elements with sheer style and a timeless story. Classic stuff.
