Yes, the original War of the Worlds is terrific, don't get me wrong, but as top-10 sci fi, it can't hope to make the cut, for the reason I mentioned. The George Pal Time Machine is better in that regard - I'll have to think about whether that should be on a top-10 list. Whereas I _don't_ have to think about Forbidden Planet (should be) or Empire Strikes Back (shouldn't be).
