The Day The Earth Stood Still...

I watched this movie tonight on AMC after Legally Blonde 2. Oh my gosh is this a great scifi classic film (1951) and again most apropos. This movie is about a PeaceProfit that lands his spaceship in Washington D.C. and reads his Declaration of Peace to all the leaders of World! His message is an ultimatum, change your aggressive ways or be annihilated altoghether. Needless to say, it also shows how humans react to the unknown and the mass hysteria that ensues because of their fears of the unknown brought on by the government and the media!

This is a 10 minute video of the beginning and end of the movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still". If you have not seen this movie and you like classics, I highly recommend you rent it or look for it on AMC cable channel.
