NOTE: THE FOLLOWING HEADER WAS TAKEN FROM WATCHMOJO

Amazon Prime’s War of the Worlds (2025) has quickly become one of the hottest movies of the year! Everyone is talking about it! The action-packed pop culture phenomenon stars Ice Cube and his computer. It also has Clark Gregg in it, and he doesn’t really look like he wants to be there, but hey, he’s in it. The film is getting praise for its many topical themes, including technology and government.

While you wait for War of the Worlds 2: Ice to Meet You, here are Seven Movies to Watch If You Enjoyed War of the Worlds (2025)

#1: Citizen Kane

Orson Welles is famous for his 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds, which scared a lot of people back in 1938, because people as a whole were just dumber back then. Unfortunately, they never made a movie about this, so this dandy flick Citizen Kane is the next best thing if you enjoyed War of the Worlds (2025), as it also dares to tackle heavy themes such as newspapers and sleds.

#2: The War of the Worlds aka The Classic War of the Worlds aka H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds: Director’s Cut

Believe it or not, War of the Worlds (2025) is not the only film adaptation of the H.G. Wells science fiction thriller. There was also this version, released on DVD in 2005 in an attempt to cash in on the the Steven Spielberg blockbuster opening that summer. There’s no Ice Cube in this movie, but that’s okay, because it follows the book, which means it’s better than all other War of the Worlds motion pictures by default. Actually, we’re lying. Look at that clip. Just look at it. Some sources report this production cost as much as $25 million, but those sources are also lying, just like we did when we told you this was a good movie. By the way, this version has three different cuts, with the initial one clocking it at two hours and 59 minutes. And, no, the dreary musical score never stops at any point during that runtime. We’re not kidding.

#3: Are We There Yet?

If you want to see a movie in which Ice Cube actually goes outside, then look no further than this comedy classic from 2005 which made $83 million at the box office not counting for inflation. $83 million. No, really. This made $83 million. Look at that fucking deer on the DVD cover. Ice Cube punches it in this movie. If that’s not enough to sell you on it, this is also “the funniest family comedy since Home Alone.” And hey, we love Home Alone! We can’t wait to laugh even more during this than we did when watching Home Alone!

#4: Chicken Little

In Chicken Little, Buck Cluck has to learn how to trust his son. In War of the Worlds (2025), Ice Cube has to learn how to…not spy on his daughter’s fridge so he can keep track of what she’s eating. Wait, that’s actually a lot worse than anything Buck Cluck may have done. Give Buck Cluck a break! Anyway, Chicken Little really is Disney’s War of the Worlds, as the second half turns into an all-out parody with unstoppable aliens vaporizing all of the residents of Chicken Little’s town as R.E.M. blazes on the soundtrack. Wait, that sounds pretty violent, doesn’t it? And since it’s meant for kids, the movie pulls a Monster House and “unkills” everyone right before the credits roll. This is why we can’t have nice things.

#5: Unfriended

We’re going to be real here: WatchMojo actually doesn’t recommend this movie, because it kind of sucks. The nifty premise keeps it going for about 40 minutes, but then it just becomes unpleasant to sit through. A bunch of shitty teens did a shitty thing to another teen in which they posted an embarrassing picture of her covered in shit on social media, and then she allegedly unalived herself, except probably not, because someone sure is eager to get revenge on these guys for what they did. Anyway, you’re supposed to be okay with them all dying because they’re shitty, and WatchMojo felt insulted by the time this was over. So why did WatchMojo include it? Because we know one of you assholes would’ve said “but hey, what about Unfriended? That also took place on a computer screen, just like War of the Worlds (2025).” So there, we included it. HAPPY NOW???

#6: War of the Worlds: The Attack

We’ve never watched this movie. Come to think of it, we don’t really know anything about this movie. We just thought the poster was hilarious and wanted to share it. So if you liked War of the Worlds (2025), maybe you’ll like this. We have no idea. Again, the poster is funny. That one dude at the front looks constipated. Kind of like Ice Cube does in War of the Worlds (2025).

#7: Madeline and the Spider Lady

Okay, so technically this isn’t a movie. Alright. This doesn’t belong on this list at all. It’s just a stupid episode of Madeline in which Madeline and her friends fuck around a radio station and accidentally send all of New York City into a War of the Worlds panic. As we said, it’s stupid, but c’mon, when else were we going to get the chance to talk about Madeline at WatchMojo? You think you’d click on a “65 episodes of Madeline ranked by how stupid they are” list? No, of course not! Because that’s not cheap click-bait! So we can’t talk about our real passions, like the stupid cartoon series Madeline, unless we framed it as some rage-bait headline like “Was this 90s cartoon WOKE before its time?” And honestly, we get exhausted just thinking about it. So watch the Madeline episode. Don’t watch the Madeline episode. We don’t care. We’ve got ten more lists we’ve got to churn out this weekend alone!

Have a good day, everyone. And be sure to WATCH MOJO for our next WATCH MOJO list!
