B-Movie Specialties

[Deej]

I'm generally a fan of all bad movies, though I do have particular areas of interest. I'm mostly into the b-westerns of the 30's and 40's, the cheap programmers of the 30's and cheezy old detective/thriller flicks. These are the films I enjoy the most and the areas in which I'm most knowledgeable.

I also know that some of you are more into certain genres, for instance I know who to ask about a zombie flick, and I know that Andrew Crow is the Ghostbusters afficianado. What, if any, are your particular areas of interest, and what genres do you most enjoy?

PS. don't annonymously answer Lesbian-Poet-Zombie flicks...I'll know who you are.

[The Burgomaster]

I'm a big fan of the 1960s and 1970s in general because a lot of great drive-in movies came of of those decades. As for genres, I'm a fan of the following (in no particular order):

* Blaxploitation - There's something about funky guitar music, afros, leather outfits, and seedy Harlem bars that gives a movie great atmosphere. Blaxploitation horror (such as Blackenstein, Blacula, etc.) is a groovy sub-genre that emerged during the overall blaxploitation craze.

* Euro-sex-horror movies - There were dozens upon dozens of these produced during the 1970s. Italy, Spain and Germany (among other countries) cranked out some real B-movie classics. Give me an old castle, a hunchbacked dwarf, a dungeon, and naked female vampires, and I'll be a happy man!

* Zombie movies - Of course. No explanation needed.

* Car chase movies - I discussed these in a separate message. DIRTY MARY, CRAZY LARRY . . . VANISHING POINT . . . DEATH RACE 2000 . . . WHITE LINE FEVER . . . bring me more, I say!

* Italian "giallo" films - I'm a big fan of Dario Argento and Mario Bava. . . movies like DEEP RED, BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE and SHOCK are true classics. Probably not even B-movies . . . they are actually very good.

* I also give an honorable mention to movies like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and the GROOVE TUBE . . . irreverent humor and plenty of boobs.

I seem to have seen a lot of post-apoc movies, especially involving androids and/or time travel...

I've seen the 'Trinity' movies, and some other Terrance Hill flicks,'Superfuzz' anyone? I haven't heard of the Lucky Luke movies. And the only lesbian-poet zombie movie I know of is ' Gertrude Stein: When this you see, remember me'. I saw it in school and it's about a lesbian poet and it left me feeling like a zombie.

[Funk, E.]

I believe got a strong knowledge of B-Fantasy, Andi Sidaris, Vampire and post-apoc movies. Otherwise I've only got a smattering in most other catagories.

[Foywonder]

Monster movies in general but giant monster movies from Asia would be my preference.

[JohnL]

I've always been partial to time travel movies.

[Trollificus]

Cheesy Kung Fu always gets to me. As well as space movies with bad science and/or recycled Western/War/Horror plots.

Got kinda tired of gore/slasher movies. And the one thing we learn of the future from post-apoc films is that, whatever it is that takes civilization down, it will result in a future world that will be inexpensive to film in.

PS) The fact that there is NOT a genre of "GIANT lesbian poet zombie" movies is an indictment of the film industry!

[Vermin Boy]

My favorites are ones that seem to have been made by the clinically insane-- Rat Pfink A Boo Boo, Fantasy Mission Force, Blood Freak, the films of Ed Wood, etc.

[Todd R.]

Am I alone in liking the action schlockfests of David A. Prior (DEADLY PREY, one of the worst of the RAMBO rip-offs) and Cirio H. Santiago (SAVAGE! and T.N.T. JACKSON)?

[Lee]

Can't say I really specialize in any B-movie category. But probably my two favorite are Kung-fu and action B-movies. But really I'll watch any kind if I think I'll get enjoyment out of it(unfortunatley I've also endured some real crap bag flicks).
