I think we can at least agree that it does not belong on the top 22 and very likely does not even belong in the honorable mentions section. On the film itself we disagree. To me, Arachnophobia was a surprisingly good horror film that gave me the "creepy crawlies" after I finished it (so, I suppose it scared me in that way). I thought the performances especially by Daniels and Goodman were excellent. It was humorous, even silly, but that was the point. In my opinion, just because a horror movie is humorous that not mean it is automatically bad or not worthy of inclusion on a best list (which when we get to the next decade we will disagree again on this because of my support of Grindhouse). Not all horror movies are scary and not all of them try to be. We disagree on the film itself and that is fine. As I stated, I really enjoy the film, but am skeptical, like you, that it deserves a place on this list.
