Hey guys, I was looking over the message boards over at CHUD.com and a great thread came up under the DVD section.  It asked about what movie(s) is/are considered to be the best DTV movies ever.  Best, favorite, guilty pleasure.. it doesn't matter, list all of your favorites!

Drive - This one's a no-brainer.  Mark Dacascos in his best movie to date, and I seriously doubt that any other film he will do could touch this one.  Steve Wang should be given the go-ahead to direct the next superhero movie.  Budget or not, he'd make a good film, I'm positive of this.  And cast Dacascos while we're at it.  Guaranteed great movie right there.

Boondock Saints - Another great movie that more and more people are starting to hear of due to good word-of-mouth.  Inventive storytelling, cool shootouts, and funny as hell at some points.  It doesn't get much better than this.

American Yakuza - Not too much to say about this one, although it pleasantly surprised me when I saw it, due to the fact that I knew nothing about the film before going into it.  Simply an all-around great movie.

U.S. Seals 2 - Another diamond in the rough.  Crazy fight scenes propel this one.  A good guilty pleasure.

Blackjack - John Woo and Dolph Lundgren.  Need I say more?  

Bridge of Dragons - One of Dolph's best films to date.  An underrated, guilty pleasure.

Full Eclipse - A crazy werewolf movie with John Woo ripoff gunfights added for no reason.  A real pleasant surprise.

Hard Justice - Two great John Woo-esque gunfights make this movie extremely watchable and entertaining.  

A Better Way to Die - Another good John Woo ripoff.  Good gunfights and action.

That's all that I can really think of for now.  Was Surviving the Game, with Ice-T, Rutger Hauer, and Gary Busey DTV?  If so, throw that in there.  Anyways, let's hear your guys' picks.

I 'm not sure if Full Eclipse counts because I remember seeing it on HBO when it first premeirde.  It was an HBO original film i thinkThey made ahuge fiasco about it for months if I remember correctly.  Then a gain I was like 13 at the time

Surviving the Game was had a theatrical run. I'm not sure how well it did though, badly I think.

I'm not 100% sure they were DTV, but I like both Guyver movies.

    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.
