Spent most of today working on another film studies essay but I did find a little bit of time to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). I watched the remake while I was visiting a friend in Germany, admittedly it wasn't great but I guess it wasn't too bad. That said, after seeing the original I can safely say the 50's version puts the new one to shame. Everything was just so much more mature in the old film, the themes were much more interestingly touched upon, the music was wonderfully old fashioned with a great space feel and was just consistently engaging. If you love Sci-Fi films then it's quite hard to do any better than this one.
