While Spielberg's War of the Worlds hangs on at the multiplexes, you can see the earlier screen version, plus several versions of other major H.G. Wells novels on DVD.
They range from the classic "Things to Come" which Wells scripted, to two versions of "The Time Machine" (which Wells said was about "the responsibility of men to mankind. Unless humanity hangs together, unless all strive for the species as a whole, we shall end in disaster." ) and both the 1953 Technicolor "The War of the Worlds" and an unacknowledged 1996 remake called "Independence Day."
