What is it about that film? Maybe it is because I am the same age but it tells a story much better than all the modern sci-fi movies and it manages it without loads of special effects.
I do wonder how "Klaatu barrada nikto" sounded so Indo-European as a language even though it was an alien language. "Klaato (name) barred not." Gort, the ultimate: Get out of jail free card!
Just like this...

I know...the colorized version was a surprise for me!
And I agree, it's so much better than later films. The scenes inside the craft and Klaatu still look fresh to me...a Classic!
