Top 7 movies about bugs

Ant-Man is crawling into theaters this weekend. It is sure to infest the box office in some way or another. Of course, Ant-Man isn't the fist bug-centric film to splatter the big screen. Here are a few other movies to get under your skin.

7) Big Ass Spider (2013)

As the name suggests, it has one big ass spider wreaking havoc.  Directed by Mike Mendez and, starring Lin Shaye and Greg Grunberg, Big Ass Spider is the age old tale of an alien spider escaping from a military installation. Leaving the fate of the world in the hands of a crack strike team and a clever exterminator. Is it a GOOD movie? Hey, it's a list about bug movies, no one said they would be good movies.


6) A Bug's Life (1998)

No one can make gross insects look so darn cute like Pixar can. Kevin Spacey and Dave Foley lead this cast of bugs and creepy crawlies, telling the coming of age story of an ant named Flik (Dave Foley). It's almost like Pixar's version of 7 Samurai, It's up to Flik to find his warriors to save his fellow bugs from the deadly invasion of the grasshoppers!


5) Spider-Man (2002)

If the world is destroyed tomorrow by a meteorite and Bruce Willis fails to save us, at least we can say we had one GOOD Spider-Man film. Sam Raimi shocked the world with his vision of the web head. Fans feared Raimi's horror roots would show in this much anticipated comic adaptation. Thankfully, he and Tobey Maguire pulled it off.  Mostly.


4) The Fly (1986)

Directed by David Cronenberg, The Fly is a remake of the classic horror film of the same name from 1958. Arguably, better than the original, Jeff Goldblum Starred as Seth Brundle AKA Brundle-Fly. With Geena Davis co-starring as Veronica, This one was gross out good. You'll never look at flies the same after this.


3) The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)

Giant Spiders from another dimension invade Wisconsin. What more do you need to know? Seriously? Directed by Bill Rebane who directed a bunch of stuff you never heard of, starring a lot of people you also never heard of, the mind blowing special effect featured in the film won an astounding zero awards. Did I say this list wasn't necessarily about GOOD films?

2) Bug (2006)

Well, it's kind of about bugs. Michael Shannon delivers one heck of a creepy performance as Peter, the crazy war vet convinced the government is out to get him. With tin foil hats gone crazy, Bug is actually a creepy, unhinging movie well worth a watch.

1) The Human Centipede Franchise (all of them)
 

The Human Centipede trilogy is number one on this list of movies about bugs. 'Nuff said.
