The Fly - Brundlefly!
Creepshow - that final story is so unnerving Buggedout

Starship Troopers - Movie is hilarious and it's intentionally, deadpan hilarious.
Meet the Applegates - Been years since I actually seen this but teenage me really enjoyed it.
I will edit a 5th on in later.

The Fly (1986)
Meet The AppleGates
Arachnophobia
Joe's Apartment (If I was Jack, this would be my Starships Troopers 2 lol Wink

)
Men In Black (Do alien Bugs count???)

As a bonus, I also kinda liked 'Eight Legged Freaks' I liked the attempt to bring a B movie bug flick to a main strem audience.

1. Them! (arguably the movie that started it all and probably still the best of the bunch too)
2. The Naked Jungle (1954) - (yeah more realistic than THEM! and in some ways perhaps even scarier)
3. Mimic - (creepy idea involving insects imitating their prey)
4. Quatermass and the Pit (arguably the creepiest and most unsettling insectoid critters to grace the screen)
5. Kingdom of the Spiders - (spiders creep me out and this has William Shatner so yeah it makes the list)

Honorable Mentions:

Tarantula
Phase IV
First Men in the Moon
Horrors of Spider Island
All the Fly films (even Curse of the Fly)
The Deadly Mantis
The Monster That Challenged the World

I think that film was a more an attempt to pay tribute to those types of films from some recent information I gathered (whether that is true or not, I am not sure but I found it interesting). That would explain why there are so many common elements from other movies of the type in it that are rather obvious.

Speaking of 8 legged freaks...anyone remember KISS OF THE TARANTULA (1976)?
It was kinda like WILLARD or STANLEY...only with a girl and tarantulas....

Phenomena (1985) comes to mind. Anyone seen that one (apologies in advance if this has already been listed)?
