I must confess, out of all the many, many, MANY B-movies out there, the genre that's always 'fascinated' me the most is anything with a giant killer animal on a rampage (or, in the case of The Rats or Piranha, regular-sized animals on a rampage). Maybe I'm just an animal lover who enjoys seeing them take their revenge on us stupid humans? Or maybe we're just sick, horrible people who enjoy watching murder and mayhem? Hopefully, it's just the former. Who knows, but out of my B-movie collection, I end pulling out the giant alligator/shark/snake/whatever-type films the most.
Who's with me? >D And what do you folks think are the best/worst ones?

If you wanna see Leslie Nielsen as a racist bear-wrestler, check out Day Of The Animals.

Squirm (1976) is pretty cheeseball but has a couple cool moments.

Frogs (1972) is likewise as the above with a young Sam Elliot.

A number of killer bee movies come out in the mid-to-late seventies: The Swarm, The Savage Bees among others.

Cujo (1983) wasn't bad.

I can think of others, I'm sure.

Already have all of those except Cujo and the killer bee flicks (though I've got the Mst3k episode THE DEADLY BEES). How bad/good's that one?

* GRIZZLY is pretty bad
* DAY OF THE ANIMALS is also pretty bad

I bought both of them.

FOOD OF THE GODS (1976), one of the last films by Bert I. Gordon (his initials spelled 'BIG'!) features all sorts of rampant giant animals including giant wasps, giant worms, giant chickens, and giant mousies. They all got big because Ida Lupino finds some goo bubbling up on her farm and feeds it to the chickens.

Also features ex-child Evangelist Marjoe Gortner, Ralph Meeker, Pamela Franklin (who has a moving speech about how hard it is to be a "Lady Bacteriologist" and find a good man), and some really funny BIG effects.

Gordon also made THE CYCLOPS (1955), THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957), WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST (1958), EARTH VS THE GIANT SPIDER (1959), VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS (1965), and best of all, THE EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (1977) - which is also hilarious.

ANTS! aka: It happened at Lakewood Manor (1977)

The ad for this in TV Guide was a picture of Suzanne Somers boobs covered in ants:

Oh yeah, this movie also had Brian Dennehy!

Which one; The Deadly Bees? Pretty dumb. Haven't seen the non-mst3k one.
Cujo is decent; I'd recommend it.

The Curse of the Komodo - one of my favorites. Giant Komodo dragons run amok on a tropical island, terrorizing some researchers and a band of criminals. I really enjoyed this, lots of cheesy CGI, guys standing around firing infinite ammo at Komodos who seem to be ignoring them, plenty of stock footage from other movies.

Spiders - a hot babe and her goofy cohorts do battle with giant spiders. Good fun.

Frankenfish - giant killer fish are after some people in the Louisiana swamps.

Anaconda 3 - David Hasselhoff and some hot babe do battle with the Anacondas TeddyR

Alligator (1980) is a great one! There is cheesy acting, fake animatronics, unbelievable dialogue, and a side boob! TeddyR

Them! (1954). It's a giant ants film. It sorta verges on being a giant monster movie (Godzilla, etc), but I would still consider it an animal attack film.
