'The Day the Earth Stood Still' (1951)
 
This film is ranked #5 among all Science Fiction films, by the AFI.

If you have not seen the film, I recommend you do not continue reading this post. See the film first.











SPOILER(s)

I see that the trope of Christ arriving in a UFO/Spaceship is not my own invention, but rather a very old invention.

This is a film, that in terms of story and acting, holds its own some 50+ years later.

The political message in the film is a little heavy handed, IMO. We don't like you so we will force you to behave in a certain way because we are more powerful than you. That isn't a message God would deliver. Well, unless you are an evangelical.

It is an excellent film ... I hope the remake doesn't stink.

Has there been a remake of any film that didn't stink?

The Ring. I say the remake was better.

Yes. Hitchcock's remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much (remaking his own film from the 30s).
