Title: The Thing from Another World (1951)

I liked 1982's The Thing, but I've read that it is a remake of The Thing from Another World (1951).  Is that movie any good?  I haven't seen The Thing in a long time, so I'm thinking of renting it.  I may also rent the original for comparison. :)

I like both of them but special effects in the original are almost nonexistent.

It is the change in the psychology of the characters over 30 years that makes the comparison of the two films very interesting.  How much is the change in movie making and how much is actual change in American culture?
