      The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

      One of the all-time worst movies ever. I recently watched it for the first time and I couldn't believe the end was like, "Humans, don't nuke each other." What!?! I watched 93 minutes of this crap so you could lecture me at the end?! X| Yes, it's a good idea not to nuke each other. Thanks. :laugh: And pick up all your trash too. PS - Just trying to create some controversy for discussion but I'm serious about it being the worst.

      But at least it didn't have Keanu Reeves[^] in it. :laugh:

        Very true. I wonder if his version ends the same way. So lame. I wonder if his version had to keep the robot moving at 50mph or else it would nuke the world?

          It was a milestone film of its time with some great acting. I agree the ending was poor by today's standards but it was an instant hit in its day, tapping into all the fear and paranoia that America endured after the war.

            +5 for explaining it in context to the times. You're right with it being 1951 that makes sense. :thumbsup:

                  How about something very different: Dune.

                  I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

                                        Don't recall seeing that. I'll have to get hold if it.

                                          +5 for explaining it in context to the times. You're right with it being 1951 that makes sense. :thumbsup:

                                          A lot of movies have to be taken in their proper context to make sense. Over time, I've grown to appreciate movies that are older than I am (so it's not nostalgia), and remakes often stop making sense and instead exist only to showcase special effects.
