I know most of us have seen it, but if you haven't (or it's been a very long time), this is your assignment this weekend. Watching this film with the reverence that it deserves will leave a lasting impression on you.

I think a lot of people don't realize that the book and movie aren't REALLY the same story. They were written in parallel together and Kubrick has never been one to make faithful recreations of source material anyway.

I do love The Day the Earth Stood Still also. A lot of people will right it off because it seems a little hokey due to it's age.
