Added DiffLines:

** Overlapping with serious ParanoiaFuel, the scene where the military leader is inside the tower they have built around Gort and as he's talking to his subordinates...''Gort's single cyclops eye tracks him pacing back and forth.'' It is utterly ''chilling.'' [[OhCrap The man himself actually stops, looks directly at Gort, and notices it's tracking his movements even though it has remained completely motionless the entire time.]] It's one of the most effective NothingIsScarier moments ever, oddly enough inside in a movie that's mostly a straightforward sci-fi film.
** There's also Keanu's absolutely ''bone-chilling'' delivery of this WhamLine:
-->'''Kathy Bates''': Why are you interested in our planet?
-->'''Klaatu''': ...''your'' planet?
