The mid 1950's through the mid 1970's. But I'm fond of the 40's and 50's sci-fi and comedies, and the 60's and 70's grindhouse and sci-fi.

There is even a lot of great b-movies from the 1930's and 1940's ... many of the 1940's are today not really thought of B's but most of your Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis, Amos and Andy and Gildersleeve movie were originally B movies in the classic sense of B movie.

I would say a tie between the 50s and the 80s.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
