Argh! I just found out that Turner Classic Movies had shown "The Illustrated Man" a couple of nights ago and I haven't seen it since my college days. I know, I know, nobody else thinks much of that Bradbury adaptation, and I also liked the miniseries of "The Martian Chronicles". Mind you, I didn't say they were great - only that I liked them. That being said, among the better Bradbury films, I'd place "It Came From Outer Space".

"This is Sand Rock, Arizona, of a late evening in early spring. It's a nice town, knowing its past and sure of its future, as it makes ready for the night, and the predictable morning. The desert blankets the earth, cooling, resting for the fight with tomorrow's sun. And in my house near the town, we're also sure of the future. So very sure."
