Favorite B-Film

[Jack Corbett]

Okay. As with many of my other posts, you can use more than one example.

And, trust me, you can chose anything you want. Good or bad. Here are mine:



Bad Taste (1987)

Absolutely f**king hilarious. A classic, and even more impressive when you realize that PeterJackson filmed it on weekends, as a hobby, for four years with his mates. Exploding sheep have never been funnier.


Braindead (1992)

Another Peter Jackson classic. Just bloody hilarious. Takes the p**s out of zombie flicks while paying tribute to them and has some of the funniest scenes and characters ever filmed. A hoot. And before I saw this, I never knew that lawnmowers were so deadly and could be used so effectively against the Living Dead. See this film. (If you want to see Father McGruder's hilarious intro, look up "Dead Alive" on B-movie reviews on this site.) "I kick ass for the Lord!"


The Valley Of Gwangi (1969)

Very good work from Ray Harryhousen on not just Gwangi himself (The Allosaurus is a character, you know), but a huge variety of other wonderful creatures. Since I saw this during my "Dinosaur Period" (1999 - 2001) I can't remember everything, but Ido remember a great deal of it. I want to remake this when I am grown up, because it is something I look back on warmly.





That's what I can think of at the moment, but not all. I will probably post a bit later on with more.

I'll keep mine at an even dozen. So, in alphabetical order . . .

Angry Red Planet
Beastmaster
Cemetery Man
The Fly
I Married a Monster from Outer Space
Krull
Lair of the White Worm
Monster that Challenged the World
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Tarantula
Wizards

I think it is the cheez whiz factor. Not only tasty to eat, but also tasty to watch. And not to make too much of it, but this list is taken from the reviews at this site.

Bad Taste, Braindead, Story of Ricky, Cannibal the Musical, and as for classics; Glen or Glenda?, this movie was way before it's time

As always, it's difficult to make a complete list, because there are so many that I love, but here are a few off the top of my head:
Microwave Massacre
Psychos In Love
Split Second (Rutger Hauer)
Evil Dead Trilogy
Razorback
Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks
Make Them Die Slowly
Anything with Godzilla
