In no particular order, I'd probably pick Terminator 2, Die Hard, Robocop, The Dark Knight, Heat, Kill Bill 1+2, District 9, The Crow (been awhile since I've seen it though), Speed, and maybe John Wick.
There's probably quite a few I've missed out on, especially foreign action films.
What are your picks, either popular or obscure?
I believe that's partly because the movie began as a sci-fi action film called something like "Bug Hunt at Outpost 42," and the book tie-in was added later.
I also think making the bugs look like inhuman monsters works better, because it takes the pressure off of the protagonists to try and reach out to them and communicate, instead of waging a genocidal war of extermination. The subtext implies that the bugs are indeed intelligent, but that possibility never even occurs to us, until it serves the narrative ("It's afraid!").
