It seems less than three quarters of you actually know what a B-movie is.

Yeah, the main thing that people don't get is that B-movies are low-budget.

[DonMigs85]

[How About No]

Not sure if it should be considered a B-Movie or not, but it is to me.

Mullet Van Damme, Lance Hendrickson, Wilford Brimley, that guy from The Mummy.

And,

[NullPointer]

Still holds up.

[Megadragon15]

Rocky shouldn't count, because it's actually a very good movie. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is probably the GOAT here. Watch it under the influence of something...anything. It's just too much.

This article calls Rocky a B-Movie: http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/key...movie/recent/3

[Ratrat]

Drive.

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Enter The Dragon.

You are wrong for this. Enter the Dragon a B movie? lol.

[destrudo]

Top secret science experiences. Giant Spiders. Skiing. It even has Patrick Muldoon from Starship Troopers!

Here's the plot synopsis:

"When a young ski team training for the Olympics arrives at the remote and isolated Lost Mountain Ski Resort to focus on training, they're thrilled to find a retired Olympic skier is there to help them train. But their plans are halted when a scientist working at a nearby government lab arrives with the horrifying news that a top secret Government project has produced giant spiders and they have escaped, killing and eating everything in sight."

I would have loved to hear the pitch meeting for this film. The main character is an Olympic skier named Dan "Dash" Dashiel for fucks sakes.

I may be white from the outside, but I'm brown on the inside, TO THE BONE.

I'm going to paint you like one of my roukas!

[Lizard with a ladder]

First post nailed it.

Evil Dead 2 is genius.

[Suite Pee]

Surf Ninjas

I bought it on DVD and VHS and I watch it on Netflix.

I'd say Big Trouble in Little China or Evil Dead 2.

But but!! B movie is like them movies that have big budget! Doesn't B stand for Big Budget?!

I like Speed Racer! It was campy and it wasn't that big of a hit so it's a B Movie, OK! OKAY!!!

OKAY!!

I came in the thread with Evil Dead in mind. First post already nailed it.

[ToxicAdam]

I unfortunately grew up in a household that had a father that would only watch bad movies. So, I think I have seen them all from about 1977-1990.


My top 5:

1. Bloodsport
2. Dreamscape
3. The Warriors
4. 10 to Midnight (Bronson versus the naked killer!)
5. Ice Pirates


So bad they're good Top 5:

1. Head of the Family Trailer
2. The Devil's Rain Trailer
3. Hawk the Slayer Trailer
4. Caligula Trailer
5. Heartbeeps Trailer

[shagg_187]

Caligula is not a B movie at all.

[ToxicAdam]

Oh well ..

Heartbeeps wasn't either, but I think when a movie fails so miserably it becomes a B movie by aesthetics alone. Showgirls (mentioned below) is a great example of this.

[Slayven]

Based on a true story to boot.

More like a man's personal fanfiction.

[I Push Fat Kids]

Showgirls

The screenplay credit here is something everyone in this thread should take note of.

[Ra\/en]

I'm gonna get blasted for this, but

[agrajag]

Dead Alive.

[Slayven]

Haha you guys don't know B movies. Man I had to spend weekends watching shit like Frogtown, Phastasm, Tracers, Scanners, Dollman, I come in piece, etc.

[tino]

Starship Trooper

There is no contest. You can play it in parties all day.

[JasonMCG]

Easily.

[Sub_Level]

I would just like to point out this little flick for the gentleman/lady who suggested Alien:



6.5 million dollar budget

Less than half of Alien's budget in adjusted US dollars. And it's a slasher, but its not really a B movie. So Alien definitely isn't one imo. But to answer the topic, I vote for Evil Dead 2 (edit).

[Maximilian E.]

Samurai Cop

[Nappuccino]

I'm gonna get blasted for this, but

'You're right. it's a pretty terrible b-movie

[Freezie KO]

Ulmer's Detour is fantastic.

My pick:



An amazing parable of aging, disease and death. Any movie that makes me ponder mortality and cry for a physically-revolting human/insect creature is an instant classic.

[Trey]

Any 80's/90's Paul Verhoeven movie is a great B movie.

yesss, this!

Came for Starship Troopers, glad it got in early. Primarily anything from John Carpenter: The Thing, Escape from New York way up there for me. ITT people are confusing "the 80s" with B.

Starship Trooper There is no contest. You can play it in parties all day.

Good shit y'all.

[Suairyu]

Most recently, 'Drive'.

'Evil Dead 2' has a special place in my heart for the amazing physical acting of Campbell.

However, if we accept the previous argument in this thread that 'Alien' is a B movie, then absolutely, 'Alien' is the greatest B-movie of all time.

[MasterShotgun]

Bloodsport smokes the competition, and Black Dynamite is the runner-up.

[lingiii]

This thread is now a Starship Troopers is the best film period thread.

[Count Dookkake]

This thread is now a Starship Troopers is the best film period thread.

Not period, but it is the best American movie of the 90s.

Some of these films you guys are naming are not even B movies. The horror films like Deadly Friend and Hardware, they are C movies. Then there is Z movies like Plan 9 from Outer space.

ITT we discover that most of GAF doesn't know what a b-movie is.

Yeah, that's been said like 5 times already, but everyone refuses to make a solid definition.
