What's your favorite "B" movie?
 

ok everyone, tell me what your favorite B movie is and why. I am curious since some of my favorite ones are older B movies that are not on DVD. This country is so capitalistic when it comes to movie availabilty, and some are very hard to find even on VHS or Laserdisc. Some sellers know what they have and ask a stratospheric price for them:(simply because they know you can't get it anywhere else and lack of competition. My favorites are:
1. The Invisible Kid-Chynna Phillips and Jay Underwood
2. Limit Up-Nancy Allen
3. Sticky Fingers-Helen Slater and Melanie Mayron
4. Mannequin 2 On The Move-William Ragsdale and Kristy Swanson
5. Howard the Duck-Lea Thompson Tim Robbins
6. Showdown-Billy Blanks and Christine Taylor
7. Back in Action-Billy Blanks and Roddy Roddy Piper
8. Meatballs III-Introducing a very young Patrick Dempsey(he doesn't make it known, but he is in fact the grandson of boxing legend Jack Dempsey)
9. Thunder in Paradise-Hulk Hogan and Chris Lemmon
10. Solarbabies-Richard Jordan and Lukas Haas
11. Slipstream-Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton and Kitty Aldridge
12. Hercules- Lou Ferrigno
13. No Holds Barred-Hulk Hogan and "Tiny" Lister Jr.
14. Santa With Muscles-Hulk Hogan
I like all these because I used to have an adventurous spirit when i was a kid and I would believe anything anybody told me, lol! Now I love them because they are a nostalgia trip for me. And because all of these have memorable lines and believe it or not, very good acting, heheh! They are classics now and just plain fun to watch:yes:

Charlie:nutz:

Suburbia

Trailer included..

Toxic Avenger

Army of Darkness (duh)

God, so many. Most of what movies I do like are B-movies. I'll be posting more in depth later for sure.

Here's one: Return of the Vampire, directed by Lew Landers, starring Bela Lugosi as the vampire of course. This time around he has a Wolfman sidekick who speaks (with a proper british accent), and it all takes place during the London Blitz! A bomb revives him and the poor Londoners have a vampire, a wolfman and the Nazis to worry about.

I had quite a few freinds who were extras in that movie.:D

Really? too cool.. It was a movie that just always stuck with me..

It's also the first time I had ever seen Flea appear in anything..

mano the hands of fate.

officially the worst movie ever made.

Bill

I like the ones raked by MST3K. God I miss that show!


Russ

China Blue
Dancing at the Blue Iguana

Yeah... I also went to high school with one of the guys in D.I. who played on the soundtrack for the movie. All the extras in that movie were real deal punks from Orange County, CA. Orange County (especially my area...) was well known for great punk bands. There's some sad stories behind some of those old punkers. Most of the ones I knew are either in jail, dead or are junkies. They were all my freinds since I was a little kid.:tears:

Amazon Women on the Moon - it's a spoof of B movies from the 80s that still cracks me up.

Here's a clip of the trailer.

And here's a clip of the Video Pirates segment.

Check it out- you'll love it!

While on YouTube finding the above video clips, I also found this clip from Amazon Women on the Moon that just completely cracks me up...

Wow, you guys got some really cool responses. Most of your B movies I never even heard of, lol! Cool stuff man:)

There's a few more I can't recall right now but if i do some digging, I bet I can come up with them, hehehe!

Best B movie ever... FRANKENHOOKER

Also anything by Russ Meyer.

Repo Man and all the Evil Dead movies get my vote too (gotta love the soundtrack to Repo Man...).

I'll throw Barfly in there also.

The fourteen Sherlock Holmes movies from the 40's, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. I also dig the Charlie Chan movies from the same era.

B movie recommendation
 

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a great one, too.

Here's the trailer.

Heaps of faves already listed but a big vote for "The Brain That Wouldn't Die", I also can't go past "Plan 9 From Outer Space"

but for having the greatest B movie title of all time

"Nude For Satan"

The Hollywood Knights
This movie has a bunch of good music in it.

gotta put my vote in for repo man.

that is an awesome movie.

The Last Grenade: Stanley Baker, Alex Cord, and Richard Attenborough...

I sincerely doubt that the filmmakers intended for this flick to be a B-movie, but it SO is. Almost impossible to find on VHS, and has never been released on DVD. I've seen it once and I'll never forget it. For all it's faults, and it's got plenty... It's still a great B movie.

"Escape from New York" - I love this flick...:banana::banana::banana:

I second "Escape from NY" and "Repo Man".
I will add John Carpenter's re-make of "The Thing" and a couple of those 60's sci-fi/adventure flicks such as "Jason and the Argonauts" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

Blood and Chocolate

Im asumeing it was a B movie, Very Nice though

on the naughty side:

flesh gordon. ridiculously funny

Orgasmo, also ridiculously funny.

Mars Attacks

I'll sit through the whole thing just to hear this one line:

"Don't Run!!! We're your friends!!" (as they're blowing up & killing everything in sight)

So is Soylent Green considers a B movie? Gotta love that one..

October is a great month for B movies. Plan 9 is coming up on TCM soon and I can't wait, even though I've seen it countless times, my enthusiasm remains the same.

Anything by Ed Wood is a pleasure, but I'll mention "Glen or Glenda." It's a must see. "Pull the string! Pull the string!"

donovans brain
the crawling eye
them

I saw a movie review that called "Highlander" the greatest B movie of all time. I hadn't thought of it as one until that moment.

Scanners
Night of the Comet
Hell comes to Frogtown
Wolfen
The Hidden

The origial "War of the Worlds" with Gene Barry was the "Gone with the Wind" of badly acted SciFi, does that count.

Buckaroo Bonzai.

Ray

Attack of the killer tomatos (might be a C movie)
The Warriors

Have to second the nominations for Killer Klowns and Army of Darkness.

Laugh-a while you can, monkey boy!


Blue Velvet is another good one, and although it's been mentioned several times, I'll mention Repo Man again.

Mars Attacks is also a classic.

How about Cecil B. Demented?

Or Smooth Talk?

They Live. Isn't it about time for this great political movie to come out on late night TV again? After all, we have a Presidential election just around the corner.

Yeah definitely for sure Holst, I remember when it first came out, they called it a really really good B movie, how could I forget about that one:) thanks for the reminder:thmbsp:

BTW, I have a signed and sealed copy of Highlaner 10th Anniv. Edition on Laserdisc.

How about...
 

Oldies but Goodies: The last man on earth (w/Vincent Price), Panic in the year zero and of course, Hot rods to hell:smoke:
