War of the Worlds (1953) v War of the worlds ( 2005)

[Cutie wit a bootie]

Saw the 1953 version on T.V yesterday, and started comparing it with the 2005 version.
No doubt in my mind, the 1953 version wins every time.

 

[Yelena K]

Yes I may be pathetic, but I can't stand watching black & white films.

 

[Kribensis lover]

Me too. It's like watching with one eye closed.

I liked the 2005 one anyway though.

 

[sanchito1313]

Well that's lucky then, because the 1953 version was in colour.

 

[terratwin]

Oh it was?
I also can't stand the bad quality colour of older movies too

 

[algbas]

It's amazing how sci fi reflects contemporary fears.

Fears of communism vs post-9/11 fears.

 

[Grand Vizier]

Made in technicolor, you'll be telling me you don't want to see it because Ann Robinson is in it next.

 

[My Paper Heart.]

Absolutely no contest, the original is the best.
