A tie between Ice Pirates and Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. (Only because when I was little we saw them at a drive-in double feature and I won a bet with my dad and stayed awake through both.)

How about INSEMINOID (1981)? This looks totally boss. 50% funded by the Shaw Brothers, too!

It's a bit slow but I enjoy it. hardly anyone in it can be bothered to act scared when faced with life-or-death situations. Stephanie Beacham is hilariously mis-cast too...

I'm gonna give a nod to galaxina. It was overshadowed by the horrific murder of it's star by her scumbag hubby hut deserves to be appreciated as a good b movie on it's own merits.

"The Crater Lake Monster" has it's deficiencies but it's still a fun prehistoric monster rampage flick.
"Arena" is one of the better attempts at a futuristic sports/pluck underdog wins out movie.

Hands of Steel (1986)

I love this one

one of the best arm-wrestling-sploitation flicks ever. up there with OVER THE TOP

A made for tv movie called "the intruder within" was a completely honest ripoff at "alien" and never even pretend red not to be. It was fairly decent for "Alien on an oil rig". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082565/

"Not of this earth" is another alien ripoff, with area good twists.
