Feature Presentation…MONDAY MOVIE MEME
Share on your blog instances of crawly critters and link back to the Bumbles
I don’t like bugs, of any kind. As a kid if I saw a spider after my parents had gone to bed I would leave a note on the door telling my dad where he could find that spider so he could kill it in the morning, LOL 🙂 Anyway, I’m not into bug movies, but I am reading a book right now about the study of moths which brought a couple of movies to mind and then my mind went tot his scene in Avatar
I loved that scene! Yes, I know they aren’t moths, but it’s a good creature so I thought I’d start with that. And now on to one of the moth movies and it’s a good one because we never actually get to see the moth creature. I was creeped out by the movie, but I did get to watch Richard Gere 🙂
And for my last entry I thought I’d go with real moths, like my book. The movie is creepy and sinister.
I just watched the first movie made from these Thomas Harris books and saw Brian Cox as the original Hannibal Leckter. If you’re interested it’s Manhunter (1986).So, did I miss any great movies that featured bugs?

Those are pretty creepy, it sounds like since I haven’t seen any of them! Here’s my list: http://gofita.blogspot.com/2010/02/monday-movie-meme-5-word-movie-weekly.html
I loved the Mothman movie, but hated the book.
I didn’t even realize there was a book! I did really like the movie.
I’m with the other Heather – I don’t do creepy/horror type flicks. Have never seen Silence of the Lambs (or sequels) and do not intend to. *shudder*
that is a creepy movie
I read another good book that had a lot about moths in it “The Sister” by Poppy Adams. It was pretty interesting and had a good twist to it.
That’s the book I’m reading right now! I have about 50 pages left 🙂
That was funny about leaving a note for your dad to kill the spider. You were so considerate. Most kids would just scream until dad came right then and killed the bug.
My mom still has a note or two 🙂
Wow, that Avatar scene looks cool. Really need to go and see that movie. Good choice with Silence of the Lambs, that I never even thought of when I was trying to make my list.
I can’t wait to see Avatar! That picture looks so cool .
I’ve never seen Mothman and I’m curious about it so I’ll have to see if i can find it.
See Avatar in 3D if you can.
I liked A Bug’s Life!! That’s the only kind of bug I like- animated!!!
That was a cool scene!!!
Oooo – I haven’t seen Manhunter. I haven’t read any of the books yet either. Every time I try to check them out of the library they aren’t available. Silence of the Lambs was a perfect choice for bugs!
I haven’t read the books either, but one day I’d like to.
Never heard about Mothman. Loved that scene in Avatar too.
I think I’ve watched Mothman, not sure, but I think I did…
And I love everything about Avatar. 😀
Margot is right – you are, and always have been, very thoughtful. We still have a few of the ‘Yikes, there is a spider on the ceiling by the closet!’ notes that you wrote and taped to your bedroom door. I am creeped out by bugs (and bug movies) too!
You are right, i loved that scene in Avatar. And no I have not watched any of the other movies you have said. And I absolutely hate moths of some kind!
I can’t believe so many of you haven’t seen Silence of the Lambs. I can’t recommend it enough.
