The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe

The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the classic science fiction movies, and with good reason. The acting is excellent, as are the special effects and cinematography – and with a message that still resonates, decades later.

Enemy of the State (1998), starring Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight

Enemy of the State is a frightening movie. An out-of-control government tracks our every move. They listen to our phone calls, read our emails, and track our movements by tracking retail purchases. Not to mention looking at us through surveillance cameras. What’s truly frightening is that, from the time this movie was made to the present … The government is now admitting that yes, all of those things are being done … For our “protection”, of course.
