As well as Day of the Triffids, there was "The Kraken Wakes", about an invasion by aliens who decide they can't share the oceans (or the whole planet, really) with humans, and the post-nuclear-war "The Chrysalids". Plus "The Midwich Cuckoos", which you may have seen filmed as "Village of the Damned".
