I remember the WOTW tv show as well. They had to recreate the Martian ships as I recall. The original models for the movie were made of copper and it's believed that they were given to the boy scouts during a copper drive and were probably melted down shortly thereafter. A real shame too as they would be a piece of movie history today.

I'm fonder of a British BBC series called Tripods, based on a YA trilogy by John Christopher. Christopher's books look at what might have occurred had the Martians won and conquered Earth. Christopher's invaders aren't from Mars, but the rest neatly aligns with Wells' original.
Look for _The White Mountains_, _The Pools of Fire_, and _The City of Gold and Lead_.
