   Another film in the vein of _The Puppet Masters_/_The Body Snatchers_   
   is _The Faculty_, which explicitly namechecks those novels.  IIRC,   
   one character complains that Finney ripped off Heinlein.  Alien   
   parasites take over the teachers at a high school and it is up to   
   a group of misfit students to figure out what is going on and fight   
   back.  That movie is also better than it has any right to be.
