I'm just curious what people think. I think it is, but I'm open to discussion and enlightenment. By best giant insect movie let's not include comedies (like "Big Ass Spider" which was pretty entertaining).
Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!
There aren't many giant insect movies to choose from. Only "The Beginning of the End" (giant grasshoppers) springs to mind. Also the giant arachnid movies "Tarantula" and "The Black Scorpion." I think that "Them" is better than the other three, so I'd agree with you.

Don't forget 'Deadly Mantis' which I am kind of fond of to be honest.
Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?
Oh yeah definitely and I'd love to see it be remade by someone like Del Toro. It's hilarious how the posters gives the ants human like eyes.
shareYeah I'd say so. Doesn't have a whole lot of competition though.

I thought Mimic was very good. I have not seen Tarantula or Deadly Mantis, though both have been recommended. I remember a terrible film called Empire of the Ants, which is so bad it is kinda fun. Them! is still my favorite.
sharePlease, Let's try not to remember Empire of the Ants.

It is!
shareIt's a good film but I haven't seen many giant insect films...I think this and Eight Legged Freaks (2002) are the only two I've actually watched.
share“Them” is my favorite atomic-age monster movie and “Eight Legged Freaks” is a good second because it’s pure camp and has Kari Wuhrer and an early Scarlet Johannson.
shareYes.
