Magpie:
And the movie of "The Midwich Cuckoos" was "Village of the Damned." A little more dramatic. 

I only recently read the Wyndham book and actually like a lot of the changes they made in the movies. That is, they really become two different stories because they have very different focuses, but I like them both. And VotD is one of my favorite movies.:-)
