This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. I saw it on TV many times. Eventually a few years ago I bought the DVD. Last night, after a long time, I watched it again.

I never noticed the subtle political dig before: someone says the people in the government are people just like us and the response is no they are Democrats. Funny to see that from 1951.

It stands up. The message is still a good one. Stop your petty childish wars or we will destroy your planet.

The remake looks like a big budget special effects spectacular, which is completely contrary to the spirit of the original. But I may give it a chance. Klaatu barada nicto.
