11 out of 12. Didn't realize Life With Father was a memoir before it was anything else. Got through the rest, no problem.
10/12 but you played fast & loose with # 9 as I believe it started as a novella "Armageddon 2419" first published in Amazing Stories in 1928.
#4 stumped me because I just saw Brigadoon and linked it (wrongly ) to that.

I got 9 out of 12 right. Some of these were pretty tough! I had to guess on a few of them. Great quiz!
