The War of the Worlds (1953)-surprisingly effective version of the book, completely transplanted into 50's Americana. Brilliant Technicolor and I don't think anyone could ever forget the sound of the heat ray or skeleton beam.
3.5 balls out of 4.
That sound got used in 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow', for the eye-beams for the Giant Robots.
I was the only one geeking out about it in the cinema.
