I loved "Them"! And the big Taratnula movie. Both of those were obviously filmed in the soutwest and as a kid I was always amazed at how different that part of the country was from where I grew up in southern CT. And now I live out here....and have yet to see a 30 foot ant. :(

Them! was nominated for an Academy Award and it was a pretty good film overall.  Most of the other ones were more for B movie lovers.

Maybe you haven't seen any 30 foot ants because you aren't looking in the right places.  They have probably gotten better at hiding since the 50s. ;)

Yeah, "Them" is a great classic.  I've watched that one a lot over the years.
