oohh... a thread just for me :D:beer:

Let's see... The Evil Dead trilogy, no question. Sam Rami is the man!
Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles and Bad Taste (in that order). Gotta love the latter for having a main character with a piece of his brain almost popping out.
The Trancers series from Full Moon entertainment. Tim Thomerson is a b-movie god!!
The Puppter Master series from the same. The first two, with the Evil(TM) puppets were the best.
Six-String Samurai. Buddy Holly takes out tons of bad guys, including a large part of the Russian army, with just a home-made katana before being defeated by Death. And he can play a mean six-string ;)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Seen with a crowd that knows the call-backs, or on a good DVD system with excellent sound so you can make out what they're saying on that track, this is one of the most twisted movies ever made.
The Beastmaster. The original movie, not the crappy TV series or sequels. Loincloth mayhem! Kindda like Conan meets Dr. Dolittle.
A Boy and His Dog. I want this movie remade with an appreciable budget! Very cool premeis, and I love Blood's attitude. One of the coolest endings I've ever seen.
Cemetery Man. Words fail to describe this one. Think Brazil meets Return of the Living Dead.
Return of the Living Dead itself. :D One of the funnier zombie movies around. ("Send... more... paramedics.")
Death Race 2000. Sylvester Stalone competes against David Carradine to see who can ham it up more while running over a disapointingly small number of pedistrians in one of the cooler concepts for a Reality TV show.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Good chills, several jumps, buckets of gore. True classic
Nosferatu: The First Vampire. Arrow Home productions remasted this 1920s movie with a goth-metal soundtrack. Works very well, actually!
They Live. John Carpenter + Roddy Piper + invading aliens = "I am here to kick a$$ and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum."
Night of the Lepus. A pinicle in b-movies. Someone not only thought a movie about giant killer bunny rabbits would be scary, but someone else actually green lit the idea!! If you can track it down, it's a monument to badness. The fact that it's all played serious instead of for camp does not help :p
Eight Legged Freaks. A b-movie with a modern budget. Pokes fun at the genera from time to time and comes out as a great movie in the end. Horribly underrated and unseen movie.
Maximum Overdrive. Machines take over the earth, able to move on their own, after earth passes through the tail of a comet. Watch for a bank machine at the beginning telling writer/director Stephen King he's an arse hole :) Soundtrack provided by AC/DC. Emilio Estevez as a lead character. This one has b-movie winner branded on its forehead.

In the Company of Men was pretty OK. It only cost them $23,000 to make it, but some fresh ideas were going on there.

My vote for the worst grade "B" movie ever made, drumroll please .........................


And the winner is ... Plan 9 from Outer Space.


Remember the movie "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp? It came out a few years ago and it won an oscar. It was loosly based upon the life of the maker of this classic.

Anyone seen "Cannibal the Musical?"

Shark Attack 2 and 3 were decent. Evil Dead wasn't bad either....

Best John Carpenter - Kurt Russell collaborations. Well, except for The Thing, but that's a real horror movie. Snake Plissken is the coolest movie character, though :D
