The Day the Earth Stood Still

Holy mackeral! Holy Christmas! A human-looking alien, Klaatu, comes to the world to tell us to live in peace and without stupidity. He walks among us as Mr. Carpenter. Is he an alien, or a Russian? Does he truly come in peace? The special effects are rudimentary, but the story's good enough to make you wonder why Hollywood needs to remake it, other than the standard reason of having absolutely no creativity.
