Query: Excellent Work of Science Fiction

This is one of my favorite science fiction films; in my opinion superior to both Wells' novel and the 2005 film version. The special effects are quite good considering this movie was made in the early 1950's. The collector's edition DVD contains a number of special features the origional edition didn't contain.Some reviews have complained about the religious angle the film takes (especially towards the end) but I thought it actually improved The War of the Worlds (people who have read the novel will quickly notice just how differently George Pal and H.G. Wells portrayed Christianity).
