I watched "The Return of Peter Grimm" on TCM Tuesday morning. It's from 1936 and stars Lionel Barrymore as a man who returns from the dead as a ghost to aid the family he left behind.

War of the Worlds (1953)

Something I noticed about this particular film were some very small "moments" that have stuck with me since I first saw WOTW way back when as a young lad. Particularly during the evacuation of Los Angeles sequence there was the shot of a car in a line of traffic leaving the city, but it had a flat tire and just kept going. There's the moment where a kid and his dog are gobbling up the melting remnants of an overturned ice cream ventor's bike. And that shot where the little girl's ball comes bouncing down the hospital steps and the young boy catches it. These little moments really add to the humanity of this film. Has anyone else noticed small touches like this?

Hi Jim.
re: WOTW.
That's always been a favorite of mine. Those touches you mentioned really did flesh out the movie (although a bit too much of that and the corn starts flying).  I still have the laser disc with an isolated audio effects track; pretty interesting extra.
Even though I'm generally a purist, if the title ever makes it to hi-def I wouldn't mind the removal of those wires holding up Wah Chang's fabulous ship designs. The better the resolution, the more distracting those are.
I think I'll pop that one in the PS3 and have another go at it. It's been a while...
