The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

Actors:  Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe
Rating: 7 out of 10, interesting look at DC in 1951 as well as the paranoia of the cold war.  I loved this movie as a kid and it has stood the test of time by still being relevant.  It’s interesting to see the optimism underlying the threat which I remember from my childhood but we seemed to have lost along the way somehow.
MVP:  Rennie strikes perfect tone as the visiting alien Klaatu
