Okay, this one is definately a "good" or "bad" movie category. List your top 5 movies featuring bugs. It could be an obvious one like Them (1954), which is certainly on my list, but could also be a movie that is not necessarily just a bug movie but features them enough to be included. So, your top 5 Bug Movies, good, bad, cheesy, whatever. Here's mine, no particular order:

Them! (1954) - an obvious choice and a classic.
Creepshow (1982) - not a bug movie, but the last segment features so many real bugs and is so creepy that it's in my list.
Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) - yes, arachnids count
The Fly (1986) - David Cronenberg is the man
Arachnaphobia (1990) - people have mixed feelings on this one, but I think it's a bug classic.

Yes, I agree. When I think of Creepshow 1... I think of bugs.

The Temple of Doom (1984) had lots of real bugs as well. (inside the wall trap)

The only bug movie I can think of is Empire Of The Ants (1977).

Starship Troopers (1997) - Beverly Hills 90210 kids get sent off to war and slaughtered by alien bugs.  What's not to like?
Starship Troopers 2 (2004) - I really like this movie.  Me and three other guys   TeddyR
Bone Snatcher (2003) - Good characters, great desert scenery, intriguing plot.
Spiders (2000) - fun, silly, a good giant spider time was had by all.
Insecticidal (2005) - total cheese fest with overgrown bugs chasing girls around their sorority house.

Hmm...

Them! (It's about of my Top 10 favorite films of all time)
Eight Legged Freaks
Bug (Too obvious?)
Ants
Swarmed

If Tremors counts, get rid of Ants and Swarmed to put in the original and the sequel.

The Fly (1958). I'm a Vincent Price fan; what can I say?
Bug (1975). Sentient cockroaches. How scary is that?!?
Them! (1954). A more thoughtful look at giant radioactive insects run amok.
The Deadly Mantis (1957). A giant praying mantis! It says grace before it eats you!
Horrors of Spider Island (1960). Just because no one has mentioned it yet and it made me laugh.

The Swarm

I love the scene with the kid in the hospital.  I wonder how someone can see the same thing you do without reference?

Them! (1954) (I know mentioned alot but I love the ants)
Sick Girl (2006) (as Assisted Living Dracula mentioned that one was odd but good)
The Naked Jungle (1954) (It is a bit more real in its depiction)
The Nest (1988) (Watch it, I'm always creeped by cockroaches)
Mothra (1962) (You have to go really big sometimes)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
