Your favourite "B" movies/cult films.

[CroutonsOfDeath]

I'm a cinema snob but I won't lie... I'm more into B-Movies than A-List stuff. I'm not subscribing to that awkward belief that "Underground = Better than mainstream cuz mainstream = evil" but I love B-Movies simply because they can be so much fun to watch and always have a way of picking me up when I'm in a bad mood.

So what are YOUR favourite "B" movies or cult films and don't be ashamed to tell us why.

The Forbidden Zone - This is the only one I'm going to really talk about. This is my wife & I's FAVOURITE cult film. It even surpasses Rocky Horror Picture Show in our eyes. This movie is an amalgamation of EVERYTHING that there is to love about B movies. It's got tons of sex and nudity, abstract gags, a budget so low that all the backgrounds are LITERALLY doodled, and of course it has no concept of "Political Correctness" in anyway. If it has a soul, Forbidden Zone finds a way to exploit it. It also has lots of classic Jazzy tunes from the 30s and 40s, and it has Danny Elfman playing the devil and singing a rendition of Minnie The Moocher!

The rest of our tops are on a list. No real order except possibly the top two.


Rocky Horror Picture Show
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Army of Darkness
Re-Animator, Bride of Re-Animator & Beyond Re-animator
BrainDead
Bubba Ho-Tep
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Body Melt
Meet the Feebles
Mars Attacks!
The Abominable Dr. Phibes


The list can go on...

 

[Queen Michael]

One word: Batman.
(The 'sixties one, that is. You know, with the bat-shark repellant spray.)

 

[RoyalWelsh]

The Evil Dead trilogy and Starship Troopers 1 and 3.

 

[Fraught]

You didn't mention Evil Dead!

Repent! Repeeeent!

 

[Gigaguy64]

Probably either the Evil Dead series, Army of Darkness, or Brain Dead.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Donnie Darko!

 

[Yagharek]

Escape from New York, if it counts.

 

[kebab4you]

Tokyo Gore Police
God damn! the end of it almost made me pee my pants.

 

[L4hlborg]

Commando. I'm surprised that they managed to fuck things up that bad. Bad plot, lots of mistakes, Arnold's amazing acting, Arnold's amazing one liners and camera technical flaws all add up to the most hilarious piece of shit on the planet.

My personal favorite has to be DeathRace 2000. The original from the '75, not the remake(which i still haven't seen)

 

[Marter]

Can I count Doomsday? I am going to.

 

[Yagharek]

Oh, and Hudson Hawk.

The pope told me not to trust the CIA.

 

[child of lileth]

The Creeping Terror has to be my favorite. It's just so awesome to see a giant bloated carpet that moves at like 2mph eating everyone.

 

[Abanic]

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
The Toxic Avenger
Them!
Kentucky Fried Movie
Night of the Lupus

Night Of The Chicken Dead
Evil Dead 1,2,3
All of the Hellraiser movies to some extent
Tokyo Gore Police
Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl
Hatchet

 

[FinalHeart95]
