Favorite Sci-Fi B Movies

I saw "They Live" again this weekend on some channel. I always get a kick out of this movie and its one-liners by Roddy Piper.

Some others...

Phantasm (all of them more or less give me the creeps)
Xtro


Also, anyone ever see "Equinox"?

I can watch any SciFi B movie as long as there are 2 robots and a guy making fun of it.

They Live is awesome.  There are still signs up around my office that say things like:

OBEY

and

CONFORM

Another good Science Fiction B movie is Dark Star.  Of course, it might be a C movie.

Phantasm was pretty freaky.  That ball that the guy threw that drilled peoples heads was very cool.

"Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity".  Only one name in it that anybody might remember and that's Brinke Stevens.  The plot is "The Most Dangerous Game" set on a planet in another galaxy, but instead of a sailor falling overboard its a couple of escaped female convicts in leather bikinis crash-landing a stolen escape pod from the prison transport.  All 3 of the female leads get naked at certain points of the movie, but all 3 times its relevant to the plot.  Has some funny moments, angry robots, girls in bikinis toting high-powered laser rifles, and an evil overlord.  What more could you ask for in a SciFi B-movie?

I think it's called "Attack of the Mushroom Men"

Older, black and white B movie.

Haven't seen it in 20 years.

One of my favorites.



Another favorite is "Killdozer".

Haven't seen that one for more than 20 years.

I think I read in the news something about a reenactor of that in Colorado a few weeks ago.  Ended badly, iirc.

ther was this movie abotu a guy who built this thing with plans he got, once he completed it he was contacted buy these ailens pretending to be human. all the "scientists" recruited did not know they were ailens.


somehow the plot went along to them being martians and needing help defending themselves against some attack.

great movie.
I don't know what to put here yet.

"Hell comes to Frogtown"

LOLROF!!!!!!

Rowdy Roddy Piper was in it too.

Wish I had a copy of it.  I laughed so hard!!!

If you can find it WATCH IT!!!!!

The scene where the woman has to raise the 3 serpents is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
