A classic! I love the way the dialog is done...the people talk over each other's sentences just like in real life.
The scene where the team spreads out on the ice and makes a "saucer" outline is one of the most pwerfull in sci-fi history. |

the overlapping dialogue is very cool and truly rare in films
though it was also used in Close Encounters of the Third Kind |

Love it - and "Day the Earth Stood Still" as well as "Forbidden Planet"!

Thanks for the FYI.  I liked this old version a lot better than the "gore fest" remake. The creature was played by James Arness, a decorated WWII Anzio combat veteran and one of my all time favorite actors. At 6-foot-7-inch, Arness made a great monster. |

I like the comeraderie shown by the military guys. They tease the commanding officer but it is clear they have a lot of respect for him...and for each other.
That's a far cry from the way they depict military outfits today, like in Aliens...everybody bitching and moaning and the officer is a weakilng; the only competant guy is the tough black NCO

You can't be that drunk. If you were, you would have posted "I am shrunk as dit by now".

A true classic. The only part that I don't like is that they destroy the ship.
Great dialogue. Outstanding action, good story line and far more enjoyable that that ridiculous gorefest of Carpenter's. |

One of the best sci-fi movies ever made, IMHO.
Taped a rare colorized commercial-free showing once, and I'll be go-to-hell if the colors weren't just about perfect, at least on the objects I had seen before, and could compare. |
