Please do not forget Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos, which has been done and redone in so many ways. For my money, the best straight rendition of the book (though still far short of the novel) was the 1960 film, Village of the Damned.
John Carpenter had a late remake, which proved [yet again] that while he did some decent horror, he knew nothing about science fiction.
