Just re-watched The Time Machine (1960) on FilmStruck and so re-read the Wells short story. Overall, the film is better. Many extra little touches such as the candle burning down, the manikin's style changes, the 1966 3rd World War and, of course, the love story. Wells took the bleak outlook for human-kind a bit further and Weena was more like a child than woman. But the film's final "Which three books would you take?" is classic.

I've subscriber to FilmStruck for about a year and use them a lot more than Netflix. The last couple of months, they have add a number of really good classic movies. When they first started, they had a lot of rather obscure foreign flicks. Nothing wrong with obscure foreign flicks, but having the Hollywood classics has me watching a lot more.
