The philadelphia experiment


and the list goes on but to tired to remember more names atm


The Thing and the Heston Planet of the Apes weren't B movies imo, both had class casts, scripts, and (then) cutting edge fx/make-up...

I'm pretty sure the modern remakes qualify.

The modern variants sure are B Tronsky :D

I belive they also said in the documentary about the planet of the apes movies that they were made on B movie budgets even if they where succesful. Been awhile since i saw it tho.

Burton's was so inferior to the '68 version (which is a damned shame - Burtons a great film maker)

Saw the doco that came with the dvd boxset, and you're right, the budget for the first was fairly modest but was such a money maker the rest were subsquently churned out with ever decreasing budgets to increase the profit margins. By the time Battle for Planet of the Apes was made the budget was pure "C" Class :D

If you think in terms of budget then Star Wars would also be considered a B flick...or?

The WORST sci-fi ever with a huge margin over anything else must be Battlefield Earth with John Travolta. That movie is so incredibly bad.

How silly of me.  well in all honesty I haven't actually seen it.  I'm waiting for it to play on the communist IFC channel but I'm sure my next favorite sci-fi film....well let me present my case and reasoning.

It was written by an extra-terrestrial.  there is no way this dipwad is from my planet.

It is humorous.  friends whom I share the same sense of humor with say so.

It has received good reviews.

It is a "B" movie because it was all done with an off the shelf type video and audio equipment.
