Have you?







I saw the 1953 film in the 5th grade. I think it was shown on like the last day before the holiday break. about an hour or so into the movie they let everyone go out for recess or something. I was the only kid to stay behind and finish the movie <_<

Then I saw the 2005 movie. I didn't like it and honestly was one of the most stark examples of being really let down as a kid (though I was 12)

I read the novel at some point though I don't remember if that was before or after seeing the 2005 movie

read the novel (or novella; it's actually pretty short), saw both movies

the novel is a bit creepy because the aliens actually use this scary black poison gas to kill most people whereas the heat ray or whatever Welles called it was a more of a close range weapon. the radio show in 1938 mentions this, but we don't see it in the movies probably because it'd be too graphic.

Yes, both the 1953 and 2005 films and I even read the novel

This, plus the radio play and the cheesy TV show from the late 80s.

The novel is one of my favorite stories ever. Both major adaptations have been... lacking.

I like her, she was a better kid actor then most. Check out the short film Zygote (youtube), it's pretty cool -if- you're into that kind of thing.

Her sister Elle is pretty bad ass too. Neon Demon was great.

I even saw the musical in London. Live orchestra, and it had hologram Liam Neeson narrating it. It was awesome!

I've only seen the 2005 movie. It wasn't very good, but the sound that those tripod things make is really, really creepy.

Read the novel and saw both, even bits of the other movies.

I have a updated mini book I bought a few years ago but this was the one I read in the early 80s.
