Jurassic Park (1993)

The beginning of a franchise and an era, the first Jurassic Park has it all. Dino mayhem, people running and whether or not cloning these ancient monsters was really that great of an idea. One of my favorite scenes is when Alan and Ellie first see the dinosaurs, before the mayhem starts. It is a classic tale that could only come from the mind of Michael Cricton. It shows what mayhem can ensue when men play with forces they don’t understand. Such a classic giant monster movie.

Them! (1954)

Them! Is one of my  all time favorite giant monster movies. I always think about it when we get an ant infestation in the house. Fortunately, the ants we get are normal size! The characters  are great and the storyline is fun! A fun fact, they originally filmed this movie in color but decided that the ants were too pretty and so decided to make it black and white. Leonard Nimoy also has a cameo as Soldier in Crowd. It was also referenced in Antman and the Wasp, and why wouldn’t Antman be watching a movie about giant ants?
