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.
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1800126597&cf=info
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.
MST3K rules.
-
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.
DOOLITTLE: Now, Bomb, consider this next question very carefully. What is your one purpose in life?
BOMB: To explode, of course.

Viva la MST3K

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.

Christ Almighty. I've seen it, and the MST3k boys (Joel, not dave) tore it to pieces :rofl
Thre was also some giant gila monster from the 50's that was God-awful...don't recall the name though.
-
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.
-
the wraith
killer clowns from outer space
and just for sillyness...hell comes to frogtown

Evil Dead is a b movie but Evil Dead two was supposed to be a remake of Evil Dead one but it kind of fell into the cracks as being a b movie itself. However Army of darkness being a continuation of Evil Dead two and one in some aspects helped one and two to become something a little more than B maybe a B+ movie.
you just got to love your evil twin:rofl

The Fifth Element (does it qualify as B?)

great movie.
This Island Earth (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0047577/)
That was a good one. Especially enjoyed the sound effects the machine made when it placed a call. Would make a cool telephone ring sound. :cool:

Nope. Definitely an "A" movie.
Some of my favorite "B" movies are:
The Thing (Starring Kenneth Toby and James Arness)
The Blob (Starring Steve McQueen)
Forbidden Planet (Starring Leslie Nielsen and Robby the robot)
and of course
Plan Nine from Outer Space (written and directed by Ed Wood)
I almost included Mars Needs Women, but it's not funny bad.....just bad.
Wasn't "Killdozer" an ABC movie of the week in the 70's? I remember watching it as a kid....stupid meteorites.
-
I remember Killer Clowns from outer space, pretty funny stuff. Theres a whole ton of em that I seen on MST3K, but cant remember the names of them now.
Heres a good "B" movie:
Barbarella! :)

MST3K Episodes (http://www.geocities.com/TvPilotGuy/mysteryscience.html)
My favorite is Hobgoblins :rofl
-
Diabolik was the best MST3k. There were so many good ones though.
I have every MST3K episode on VHS tapes.
-
I saw the thread title and I thought "They Live". It's a great film.
-
Hobgoblins sound like something you'd find while watching MXC.

Morons from Outspace gets an 8+

"You play a good game, boy."
Was the "hemi-cuda" an actual car?
Was Dark Star the movie where one of the guys surfs through a planetary atmosphere at the end? That movie wasn't even a C, more like triple z. There were Dr. Who episodes with more production.
I remember liking The Ice Pirates as a kid. And Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone.

Whenever I run into Mystery Science Theater 2000 on saturday mornings... I know it's gonna be a good day.
That is one of the most entertaining programs on tv still.

OMFG I can't believe I didn't think of this one! Its a classic late-night movie. The sarcastic wit is worth the rental alone. The cars and women are icing on the cake. If ever there was a movie that I would re-do if I had the tools and the talent, this would be it.

My fav was the one where Tom Servo was diagnosed as beig colorblind...the film was in color, tom thought it was B/W...
"Um tom...what color is my shirt"
"Red"
Okay, and what color is Crow?"
"Red. What's the big deal!"
Dunno why, but that **** makes me laugh

Amen, MST3K was one of the best shows on TV when it was in it's glory days.
-
I love B movies. My favorite one is hypersonice. Though technically its not really futuristic, its about a fictional air race around the world. Knowing alot about flight, its just so unrealistic and funny-the people who made obviously know nothing about flight.
-
LOL have you seen the trailer for the movie "Sky Captain" movie? They got a P40 in it out flying flying saucers!

WOW! I saw that for the first time on the "Z" channel when I was a kid. Very weird movie
-
The Terminator.
A B movie that sort of became an A movie for being so succesful.
-
One of the best lines from an MST3K movie was one about a giant Mantis, kinda like Godzilla, can't remember the name.
Tom Servo:
"There's a mantis in my pantis!"
Also the mST3K movie with Joe Don Baker on the island of Malta, when Servo does his report about Maltese men, that was comedy gold.
-
I like the MST3K movie with the group of women dancers that get stranded on the island with the 2 guys. And then one of them turns into a werewolf.

The Day The Earth Stood Still is another great!
-
I'm going to DQ "The Day the Earth Stood Still" as a B-movie. Its just such a classic piece of SciFi cinema that it is elevated above B-movie status.
-
Screamers
I think it was made in the mid 90s
It was about a war on some backwoods planet where someone created this machine to kill all

The Day the Earth Stood Still sould not be classified as a "B" movie sould it?
Never the less that and Blade Runner would then be added to my choices.
-
Screamers, is that the one with the guy who played RoboCop? At the end there was a teddy bear that was really a 'screamer'? :) If it is that one I really enjoyed that! :)

The Wraith
Gothic
Prince of Darkness
Attack/Revenge of the Killer Tomatos

Damn near anything with Rutger Hauer in it

BTW, the BEST EVAR!!! site for finding bad movies is... http://www.badmovies.org/index.html
Because where else can you get reviews like this one for BARN OF THE BLOOD LLAMA
PLOT
Now here is a BAD MOVIE. I'm not talking modern day bad as we know it, I'm talking about Ed Wood without any funding bad. I'm talking about lowering your IQ bad. Not only does this movie hop through plot points like a drunken wombat - it also jumps between color and B&W film. Despite Kevin West's evil goal (Of leaving us with NO CLUE where we are.) we do know what follows. Jug and Gibby run a llama farm called "The World of Wool" and Dr. Albert is working on some projects there. Blessie Sue (Albert's special chunk of wooly tuckus.) is struck by Toni so she ends up waiting at the farm for her car to be fixed. Bock is there getting treatments from Dr. Albert to cure a case of songwriter's block and Janet, Bea, and Tiffany all end up there to star in his new video. Unfortunately something happens (Tiffany's period) and the llamas go beserk! Plenty of often strange and disturbing ideas in this movie folks, not the least of which is Jug and Gibby's references to the latter's relations with their mother. (Ugh, ugh.) The funeral for Blessie Sue was pretty amusing, despite the painful "everyone wave to the casket floating by" scene. (Check out the casket though.) This film is like bad whiskey my friends, don't judge it on the first take - a second shot made it go down alot easier.
THINGS I LEARNED FROM THIS MOVIE
- It's always the animal lover who hits some poor llama with their car.
- Making your "pa" sit in his wheelchair, in the bed of a pickup, wearing a chicken mask, and fishing (with rod and reel) out of dumpsters is wrong.
- Priests tend to look like one of the "Blues Brothers."
- People with crutches should not jump rope.
- Llamas spit toxic cud which looks like silly string and will melt your face off.
- Eyepatches include complimentary ping pong balls with an "8" painted on it.
- Men shouldn't tell other men they're "tight as a drum."
- Jagged can tops make handy throwing stars.
- Your index finger has a major artery in it.
- Baby llamas don't spit toxic cud, they spit fire for some reason.
- Llamas can hold a knife and play the keyboard.
- Representatives of the Dalai Lama give out brains.

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...

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.
Fahrenheit 911 by the irrepressable moron Michael "Super Size Me" Moore.

I'm still pissed about that. The book was so good. Done right, it would have been an excellent movie. Maybe the SCI-FI channel needs to do a miniseries.

Like what they did with Dune. Not as good as the books of course but better that the 1984 De Laurenttis movie anyhow

I thought so too! Was more true to the book and the modern special effects made a big difference.
