    I want to know more about why you would put War of the Worlds in your top 5. I am not hating on you. Purely perplexed because I’ve never seen anyone mention this movie since it came out. I rewatched it last year, but I don’t remember much to write home about.

      I was 8 years old when I first saw the film and it scared me so much it left in me a permanent fear of aliens and once I got older I grew to love the film and aliens in general.

      Tbh the battle on the hill is enough to make it a great film for me because it involves the ultimate dilemma: which child do you save?

      It’s a choice no parent should ever have to make and the entire scene in general shows how hopeless it was against the Tripods.
