Your favorite giant bug/insect movie...

What on emovie is your favorite giant bug or insect movie of all time. DOesn't have to be good, just your favorite that you can watch over and over.

I'll call mine Tarantula, because of the great soundtrack whenever the spider appears, plus these two great scenes:

1. Giant spider suddenly appears as big as a building atop a hillcrest backlit by the setting sun, standing perfectly still and peering down upon a corral of panicked horses.

2. Rampaging spider walks right through a blast of dynamite and cloud of dust to send the townspeople fleeing down the highway, and of course one car won't start.

For me it's a tie between Them! and The Black Scorpion. I love them both so much. They both also have great creature/bug effects. I find it sad that the only giant bug movies that we get now are terrible, soulless syfy movies. The problem with a lot of B movies nowadays is that they don't put much effort into making their monsters look good. Anyway, Tarantula was pretty good movie as well, same goes for The Beginning of the End.

I think I have to say that I like Them! better.

For me it would have to be "Them!" and "Tarantula".

I also like "The Deadly Mantis".

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
