The first one OF COURSE!

I can not resist this movie, maybe it is just the message it sends - I am sypathetic to it's cause. The pace that it moves seems just right and it's told with great clarity.

Among my favorite guilty pleasures.

thanks

I think TDTEST stands up very well, a true classic, and it's at least as thoughtful as Planet Of The Apes. Patricia Neal's performance is very fine and grounds the whole thing. And I must confess, Michael Rennie is just superb, and superbly sexy, as the mysterious alien.
Klaatu barrada nikto! And take me to your planet!
