The War Of The Worlds 1953

The most spectacular battle ever fought on a 1953 screen man fighting against an Alien threat. That would have been a hell of a site back then. Amazing SciFi technology. I watched this in the mid 1970s as a kid. Can't remember but I was probably staring at the B/W TV mouth open maybe. Who knows. Great stuff.👍

This IS A GREAT MOVIE!!

This is how you do effects, chilling sound and lots of ash piles, no surviving but shadows left over s

Always one of my favorite Sci Fi films. Special effects/sounds were and still are one of the best.

I was born in 1946 and saw this movie in the theater when I was a kid. I was terrified and deeply disturbed by it. My parents shoul not have let me see it!

70-years Luego & I Love the GOD Part & There is No Other Like it since!!!!

Why cut abit out

If you look close enough you can see Tom Cruise running like a damned fool in the background 😅

What a great movie, 70 years old ❤😊

Tacky and infantile, like most of the great scifi movies. We just loved things that go boom. I hope the reboot with Cruz had a tiny bit more resemblance to the book, which actually had some depth to it.

Nice video. Are we there yet ?

this version will neaver be matched my all-time favourite film

A great movie 😮I saw this movie on a outdoor theater back in my youth with my parents

i watched the remake with tom cruise and i yelled at the screen for someone to punch the son's character lights out because he was just annoying and to choke dakota fanning's character so she would stop screaming every 5 minutes...the original was 100 times better even in black and white...

WY DO THE PEOPLE PUTTING MOVIES ON HERE MAKE THEM JUMP A HEAD OVER AND OVER UNTILL IT RUINS THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE!!!

Still far and away the best movie/tv version of the story.

The inclusion of a Man of God who descends into a moral and spiritual quandary and puts his life on the line for it... none of this is in the original book, yet it adds so much to the film's narrative.

Author! Author! Superbly written book by H.G. Wells and movie and book match!

I have my own copy and I still watch this movie every time I see it - I just love it

Always loved how the Martian ships while under fire just sit looking for and marking targets before opening fire.

I remember watching this movie with my sons, as soon as the shooting started my oldest son said oh crap, they have shields.

Shoulda stuck with this original version to the T. Same sound effects. Same Martian ships. Same Martian beings. Woulda been wild.

War of the World had to be the most terrifying movie in 1953. The terrified feeling of being completely hopeless against the aliens attack. Then the masterful writing comes at the end when the aliens could adjust to smallest forms of life that is harmless to us. Genius!

2023... We have Apophis, UFOs, risk of nuclear war, risk for Artificial Intelligence, pandemics... something else?

Anne Robinson's character was so physically weak Gene Barry's character was able to hold her basically Still while struggling--both watching the Old Priest get Incinerated by Martian firearms from ships--yuk

Stalin died in 1953. The war in Korea was over.

That Church in the opening scene is 3 miles from my house. Still there, still looks the same.

I came here because CNN gave Trump a Townhall yesterday. CNN was as optimistic as that priest in the clip, and it turned out about the same for CNN.

In honor of the 70th Anniversary of the classic Sci-Fi film, War Of The Worlds. 🛸

I've always wanted to see what the inside of those flying things looked liked.

Scared the crap outta me first time I saw it in the eighties 😮

This is one the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.

This movie from the 19 century still holds up as a GREAT GREAT GREAT movie it was rare back then to see this much destruction in a movie

Stsrring Bat Masterson/Burke's Law (Gene Barry)

Truly sàid.

That kind of firepower would do a quick job of the book marties, that is why they added shields.

nice

The music and the drums just add so much to this film. And what more can you say about those terrific sound effects! Saw this as a kid and still enjoy it.

Personally Ilike the Tom Cruise version but hey, I was born in 99 and was raised with that version. This movie seems pretty cool though. I haven't watched it, but I can tell why it's popular. The sound effects are pretty funny to me lol

Still my favorite Martian ship design. The effects were awesome for the time. I can still watch this over and over.

This movie scared the 💩out me when I saw this when I was a kid in the 50’s.

First, Last, Always THE BEST

Padre burro 😒 mas filme muito bom TB gosto dos dois guerra dos mundos

Has anyone ever noticed that food and eating are recurrent themes in this movie? The forest ranger enlists the help of scientists who are at their campfire having a fish fry. The ranger helps himself to food. The pastor talks about setting up picnic tables near the first cylinder. At the square dance, the guests are drinking soda pop. On the eve of the first battle, Sylvia is distributing coffee and donuts to the troops. Later, she and Dr. Forester cook up bacon, eggs, and toast (with orange juice and coffee.) I imagine the concession stands of 1953 must have loved the business this movie generated!

If they would have only redone this opening with modern technology it could have been glorious...

this movie was so aWESOME!!!!

The grandparents in the new War of Worlds are actually played by the original leads in 1953. Meaning that when they saw their old enemies, they were like, "Oh god, not again."
