I was going to bold the Stepford Wives, but from what he said in his blog, I believe Scalzi meant the original, not the remake. Extra credit for anyone who can tell me two other books by Ira Levin that were made into movies.

There are a few that I've seen bits of, or know what happens, but haven't actually seen. Maybe I'll think of this as an extra to-do list. (Just what I need!)
