It also had Leonard Nimoy in it, as well as Jeff Goldblum in his first movie role. (Or at least an extremely early one.)

I like this version better than the Nicolle Kidman version. It's very well done, i.m.o.

By the way if anyone's curious about it, it's based on a novel from 1955 called The Body Snatchers by someone named Jack Finney. The original film was released in 1956 and starred someone named Kevin McCarthy. There's many interpretations of the story, for example a warning about the spread of Communism; but also it could be about the anti-Communist paranoia that was going on back then. ("Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party"; the "blacklisting" of supposed Communists in Hollywood, etc.)

This is classic! Great movie! Very scary!
