Best B-Movies!

[Shalyn]

So I didn't see a thread like this in search, and I just watched Night of the Comet.. awesome. I don't think there's enough love out there for B-Movies, those VHS wonders, and want to know if there are any you would recommend! I'll start:

Night of the Comet
The Stuff
Evil Dead Trilogy123 (of course)
Maniac Cop
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Violent Shit
Battle Royale
Volcano High
Return of the Living Dead

I know there are a TON more, I used to go to the movie store with my dad and try to pick out the lamest looking movie by cover.. which is how we discovered Evil Dead II!
It's funny how many actors and directors stemmed from these movies too, Night of the Comet has Chakotay from Star Trek, Maniac Cop/ ED = Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, Battle Royale = well.. too many to name, really. I'll try to keep the main post updated with suggestions.

PLEASE READ
I just wanted to add here what I believe GOOD B-Movies are: Typically low-budget, bad-acting, bad-graphics, unintentionally funny, or a combination of all of those things. What they absolutely all have in common, other than being great films despite the shortcomings, is that they make you FEEL something when you watch them. They're not simply bad films that you would never want to watch again, they're films that make you smile, laugh, cry, hide under the blanket, leave an impression in your mind. These films should be respected and admired, because, in many cases, they have the originality, creativity, and guts (so to speak) that typical Hollywood movies just don't possess. Watch these, and enjoy. That's what they were made for!

[Howard Roark]

anything Russ Meyers

[Shalyn]

How could I forget him?!
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls? YES

[Sigi]

Troma Studios consistently puts out schlocky B movies- Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke'em High and others
Luchador movies from Mexico are always good for a laugh

Ed. Wood. Films.- Plan 9 from Outer Space: the film so awful it was funny
Barbarella- cheesy cheesy cheesy.
Godzilla (Dubbed, of course!)

[Tomiko]

USA Up All Night is a good place to start.

Examples: (that weren't mentioned already)
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Basket Case


Another:

Howard the Duck.

[Biggz]

Kids

[Jodwahh]

Howard the Duck is not a B movie, it is an adventure of the highest caliber! A double A movie if such a thing was possible. In fact it is possible and Howard the Duck is the only movie in that category. ALL PRAISE THE DUCK.

[Artemas]

Yellowbeard.
The Porkys Series.

[archibaldcrane]

Needs moar "Night of the Lepus"

Huge killer bunnies terrorizing a town? Yes please.

Also if you watch closely you'll see this film is playing on a TV in "The Matrix" when he visits the oracle and the kids are bending spoons and shit.

It's fucking great, I saw it when I was like 12.

[Zeb]

Been having a craving to watch Ice Pirates. I'll probably d/l it at some point. Some other good 80's B movies:

Yellowbeard
Far Out Man
Ghoulies
Critters
Shocker
C.H.U.D.
No Retreat, No Surrender
Puppetmaster
Escape from New York

[AzazaelFenrir]

Student Bodies

[ferigor]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnosaur_(film)

I thought this movie was hilarious the first time I saw it. I've watched one of the sequels too, and it was funny as hell. The dinosaurs are quite often very obvious rubber with no real animation or anything.

[Trichocyst]

Massacre at Central High
They Live!
The Undertaker and his Pals (Tagline: A macabre story of two motorcycle-riding, knife-wielding, shiv-shaving, eye-gouging, arm-twisting, chain-lashing, scalpel-flashing, acid-throwing, gun-shooting, bone-breaking, pathological nuts and their pal the UNDERTAKER... )
Maniac
Nightmare in a Damaged Brain
Daughters of Darkness
The Devil's Rain
Pumpkinhead
Dracula vs. Frankenstein
Suspiria

[Correction]

Yellowbeard.

Yes yes a thousand times yes. I still remember him counting out the crawls and staggers on the beach to retrace his steps to treasure.

[Odesseiron]

They Live! Is my favorite B movie of all time. I can watch that movie an infinite amount of times, and laugh every single time. The "soundtrack" to that movie is utterly ridiculous. It uses the same music throughout the whole damn movie. Dun Dun Dunnnn...

[Valkrish]

Howard the Duck.

YES, extremely well done there.

Mostly approved due to amounts of win incomprehensible otherwise.

:D

[Tricen]

I spit upon your grave

[Andarvi]

Does Serial mom count?

[Tricen]

That movie was lulz, I saw it on USA or something every now and then.

[Lavik]

does heavy metal count?
