'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. |

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

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