Alright everybody, your fearless admins have a poll for you. What movie made this phrase famous?

The day the earth stood still. Oh please.
And isn't it niktu?
And just for the record you don't have a poll.

actually I just wanted to see if people even knew it... if I gave them choices that would defeat the purpose of this particular poll. Trust me...

No, it's nitko. And thank you for someone knowing where the hell it came from?

More people have seen Army of Darkness if you ask me. I vote for Bruce Campbell.

All hail the mighty Chin

See Scott, I told you, while it did come from Day the Earth Stood Still (a classic movie....damn it was good), more people will associate it with Bruce "Ash" Campbell, He Whose Chin may smash ISD's into nothingness.

I thought it was painfully obvious but then I'm not neccessarily the average SciFi fan.
Oh, and frigidmagi, that's not SciFi, that's FAN. Besides, considering that 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' has a 40 year or so head start on 'Army Of Darkness' I'm reasonably certain more people have seen the former.

He said what movie, not what Sci-Fi movie Batman, the choice is valid. Also age means nothing. Going by that logic more people should have seen the silent movie Nosfuratu than have seen Blade. Or saying more people have seen DESS than Star Wars. The Day the EARTH Stood Still is in my book a classic, however if I were to start asking most in my dorm would have never heard of it.

There is no such thing as an American of collage age who hasn't heard of Bruce Campbell however.
