Misteraverage ◊ 2005-07-30 15:44	Who cars about the Original TWOTW from 1953?! Where is the new one from 2005?!
antp ◊ 2005-07-30 16:08	I'm waiting for the DVD to be released to make all the captures, but the page already exists -- Last edit: 2005-07-30 16:29:44
imcdb ◊ 2005-08-02 23:41	comme si tu attendais le DVD à chaque film, Antp
antp ◊ 2005-08-02 23:51	Bah pour avoir un divx convenable il faut bien que le DVD soit sorti
wrenchhead ◊ 2006-02-15 00:52	Couldn't resist uploading a couple of extra pictures.
leolito ◊ 2006-10-07 20:55	I've sent all remaining cars by mail, did someone receive that? -- Last edit: 2006-10-07 20:56:58
antp ◊ 2006-10-07 21:13	I think I saw them in the "contrib" mailbox but haven't time to upload them yet. If you haven't done it yet, create a topic on the contribution section of the forum (just indicating that the pictures were sent by e-mail), so we do not forget them, it is easier to manage to see what is waiting. -- Last edit: 2006-10-07 21:15:04
leolito ◊ 2006-10-07 21:19	Ah good point, I forgot to write it in the forum Sorry - I know you guys are busy .... all these cars to sort ...

wrenchhead ◊ 2006-10-09 15:52	The plane is a Northrop YB49 'flying wing' of the late 1940's.
Kooshmeister ◊ 2009-09-05 23:42	What are the cars parked at the crater when the heatray rises up and zaps those three guys?
Purzel89 ◊ 2017-01-21 14:35	The 1953 movie Will be shown at Berlinale 2017. Maybe my chance to watch this movie classic in cinema.

ayba ◊ 2023-04-04 08:10	I realized that the 1953 War of the Worlds is similar to the 2005 War of the Worlds because both movies has a scene of the aliens probing a house with a tentacle with a camera on it. However, the 1953 WOTW fighting machine appears to be a UFO and the 2005 WOTW fighting machine appears to be a very big tripod. I honestly think the 2005 WOTW is cooler.
humungus ◊ 2025-06-01 14:43	“We know now that we can't beat their machines. We've got to beat them.” So much noise about beating them, and then they just drop dead. Seemed like such a cop out ending, but apparently it's the same in the novel. Other than that, though, it's still an amazing movie. Upgraded to HD, amended several ratings, and added some stuff. bonus woody #1: > bonus woody #2: bonus ambulances: bonus blurry pick-up: bonus stock footage truck: bonus bike: bonus Mercury: bonus menagerie: bonus wrecks: GodzillaFan54 wrote If this movie didn't exist, there wouldn't be a 2005 War of the Worlds, which is a remake of this film. I know it's been eight years, but better late than never: both movies are adaptations of the same novel, so the 2005 movie could've been made even if this one did not exit.
LVCDC ◊ 2025-06-01 15:37	Well ... humungus looked at it ... So better images will probably be available soon at IMPDB (the page was created in 2012 -one of the very first- with a process that was worthy of the 20th century...). -- Last edit: 2025-06-02 11:59:30
humungus ◊ 2025-06-01 15:54	^ Yes, new images are ready to go, along with a little bonus.
GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2025-06-01 17:43	An excellent '50s sci-fi, one of the best of the decade and it took home a Best Special Effects Oscar. Well deserved, though the fact it was the only film nominated feels like a disservice to Ray Harryhausen's work on The Beast From 20'000 Fathoms. Wells' estate was so happy with this film that they gave George Pal permission to adapt whichever H.G. Wells story he wanted, which lead to the 1960 film adaptation of The Time Machine. As a fun bit of trivia, this is where Mystery Science Theater 3000 got the "Dr. Clayton Forrester" name for it's antagonist.
