I'm voting for Independence Day. So how is an untrained human pilot able to fly an alien space craft to the mother ship in outer space and successfully fly back to the same air base he took off from? And how once they got to the mother ship a human computer virus presumably from Windows can infect alien computers, and bring down their entire network of shields? To be fair, the untrained human pilot didn't successfully pilot the alien spacecraft back to the air base. He crashed in the desert. And if anything could bring down an alien mothership, Windows is definitely the program to do it.

Untrained Human pilot? We are talking about Will Smith's character right? He was in the Air Force for years and a fighter pilot. I don't think that is untrained. Remember that they had been studying this machine for years so they had the controls figured out when he launched.
With that being said I didn't care for War of the Worlds. The aliens attacked all of these cities, but ignored Boston. Plus they had the great idea of sending themselves down into technology that was ancient even for advanced race standards.

Aliens don't want to f*** with Boston.

What bothered me most about that version of War of the Worlds was how the aliens had buried the tripods underground before human civilisation. So they were invading with technology that was thousands of years outdated from their point of view. Okay it was still superior to anything humans had, but still it's an illogical strategy. It would be like arming today's troops with spears. NO ONE states as FACT, that anything was buried underground, all they would do is sent the hermatically sealed POD (the head of the tripod) down riding on the lightning bolt delivery system, open it up so that the legs and weaponry is exposed ..... and lift itself out of the ground

I think the alien computer screen looked suspiciously BLUE just before the ol' skull & crossbones appeared. And anyone familiar with Windows knows how deadly the color blue is...
