One of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time and one of the most memorable lines of all time, in fact Sam Raimi paid hommage to it in Army of Darkness.
Gort didn't rely on anything fancy like CG, special effects or even colour, actually, I don't think he even moved? but it was his imposing presence that made him memorable, that and the laser from his eye-area.
If you have never seen "the day the earth stood still" and I don't mean the Keanu Reeves atrocity but do yourself a favour and get the 1951 version out and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
For me it's up the with Soylent Green and Logan's Run.
I would have had this up earlier but I got distracted by littleman and a wonderful performance by Manchester City.
