IMO, War of the Worlds is vastly underrated. It's among the scariest movies of the past 20 years. Sadly, it came out when Tom Cruise had become a media punchline for Scientology, Katie Holmes, and all that fodder. Much in the same way that Mel Gibson's jaw-dropping Apocalypto is underrated because of repulsion at his antisemitic outbursts around that time.

 

I'd have it easily inside the top 10, well ahead of Lincoln (very overrated, really a dull film IMO), probably at #6. 

 

Of course, opinions vary, I'm not saying mine is better than yours.

I mean I haven’t seen the movie in a couple of years but I do not remember liking it that much. I found the characters to be really annoying and a lot of the film to be meandering. Just wasn’t my thing.

 

But you’re right about Apocalypto being a great film 🙌
