[Closed] Terrible but great B movies

Bad Taste

Yeah bad taste! You beat me to it. Braindead is another one

Street trash?

Possibly a little darker than what you're looking for, but a classic...

Bad Taste is good too.

Anything on the Sci-Fi channel.

Ice Spiders leaps to mind.

EDIT - There's a whole list of them! [url= http://www.imdb.com/list/ls051647852?ref_=tt_rls_3 ]25 Best SyFy Movies[/url]

Dark Star

Toxic Avenger

Surf Nazis must Die

Class of Nuke 'em High

Iron Sky

Bad Taste was the very first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. Braindead (Dead Alive) is also brilliant as said.

Sharktopus. It's terrible and everyone in it knew it, the director knew it and somehow they pulled it off that you could laugh along with them.

Oh, Killer Klowns From Outer Space as well!

Death Proof

Street trash (is amazing).

The deadly spawn.

Undead (Australian zombie film).

They Live (best fist fight ever).

Class of Nuke'em high.

Night of the comet.

Sharktopus reminds me ....

Sharknado.

This was, however, such an awful film that it should be introduced as some kind of inhumane punishment for those who don't indicate.

Bubba Ho Tep, not quite a b movie but excellent.

Also, the whole Bronx warriors trilogy is amazingly bad.

What about some of the old, classic monster movies? Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan etc etc.

Piranha?

I own Bad Taste, Braindead and Man Bites Dog (box set edition). They're all on VHS. Might have to break out the old video and 4*3 telly soon I think...

Possibly the best shite film you will ever see. But make sure you are p**sed up first 🙂

Man Bites Dog, whilst a good film, it is certainly not one to watch with a bunch of mates on a stag do, or any other pre-marital event. If you want to kill the mood in one fell swoop, then go ahead.

He's watched Bad Taste and Sharknado. But Surf Nazi's Must Die sounds perfect

Man Bites Dog, whilst a good film, it is certainly not one to watch with a bunch of mates on a stag do, or any other pre-marital event. If you want to kill the mood in one fell swoop, then go ahead.

Quite.

I remember someone put it on claiming it was "hilarious". It was his birthday so we did. Mood killer doesn't even come close. I'm sure there is a message in there somewhere but I suspect he found it funny for all the wrong reasons.

Oh, whilst not strictly B-Grade any John Carpenter movie, especially one with Kurt Russel, is a winner.

Do the Grindhouse trilogy count as B movies? I don't think they really do...

There's Tremors 2 and 3 as well

Bong water, utterly nuts, it's got Brittany Murphy and Jack black in it.

Brain Damage.

Just thought of another one...

Dozens of posts and not one mention of Starship Troopers? I am dissapointed.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer- awesome

Starship Troopers isn't a B movie, that's why.

Why not something close to home, always fun spotting the odd 'oh, wasn't she in Emerdale' etc?

+1 for Abe Lincoln.

Avalanche Sharks

thanks to this thread, im gonna seek out Man Bites Dog for a watch. should be errr.... a laugh? 😯

Another vote for Class of Nuke'em High and Hobo with a Shotgun, also Turbo Kid, Razorback, The Guyver (with Mark Hamill), Buck Rogers (not technically a b movie but still pretty shocking).

I just remembered this one. It's actually well worth a watch...

The best thing about the Troma films like Nuke'em High and Toxic Avenger is that you can watch them with the sound off (or just get drunk and rowdy) and still get the same effect as there's almost always something horrific or titillating on screen and no real story to follow.

Planet terror

Oh, and if you really want to waste some time....

Or wyrmwood

Hudson Hawk. Not a B movie by design yet has all of the ingredients on a big budget.

Same goes for Lake Placid which is also great and dire.

Strictly B Movies:

Fatal Flying Guillotine
Attack of the Giant Leeches
Godzilla vs Mothra

And that one (title escapes me) with the log cabin full of pretty females who are being stalked by Bigfoot

In similar vein:

Rubber

Rubber is *fantastic*.

whilst not strictly B-Grade any John Carpenter movie, especially one with Kurt Russel, is a winner.

Escape from New York is one of my all-time favourite films. I don't know how many times I've watched it but it must be approaching three figures.

I'm sure you'll be howling with lols at the brutally realistic depictions of rape and child murder 😕

It's a great film, by the way but I have no idea why it's mentioned here. It was a clever bit of satire in 1993, but considering the kind of voyeuristic reality tv, violent newsporn world we live in today it seems even more apt today. Maybe it's lost some of it's shock value, hence people finding it funny?

Hard Ticket To Hawaii

followed by R.O.T.O.R.

No.

Kung Fury.

If something is carefully crafted to be tongue in cheek, kitsch, ironic, retro whatever....can it really be "terrible but great"

Discourse.

I don't know, but Kung Fury is brilliant. Triceracop should have his own spin off. The Penitentiary films, basically blaxploitation Rocky are definitely in so bad it's good territory. Not sure if they are classed as B movies though. Slugs and Ankle Biters are both kinda amusing.

cockneys v zombies

Any of the Troma films will fit the bill.

Does Ginger Snaps qualify as a B-movie?

Black sheep
Cannibal the musical
Dead snow
Anthing Troma

Cougar

Does Ginger Snaps qualify as a B-movie?

Low budget film about a girl turning into a werewolf during her time of the month - pretty much defines b movie doesn't it.

Not sure its B Movie enough, but I love Trollhunter.

Inbred was filmed in Thirsk where i live. There was outrage when it was announced,

Death Proof I like.

Gladiator Cop is my favourite B movie. utter rubbish with pointless scenes but an excellent post pub watch

Come on you lot... Nearly at the end of page 2 and no Basket Case?!

Man Bites Dog is hilarious, assuming you like your humour very very dark.

Wasn't there a sequel to Bad Taste which was slightly more mainstream?

You're probably thinking of BrainDead.

Watched Bubba Ho-Tep last night, excellent. Thanks for the hints 🙂

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is superb fun

Pig face has it all of the trim and films would fit the bit. Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town and Terror Firma are two of my favourites. Most of them are on the Troma YouTube channel too.

I saw a decent one a couple of years ago with zombies and strippers, but I can't remember what it was called.

War of the Worlds - the original - with Ronald Reagan NOT the Z movie with Tom Cruise in it!

Thread should have ended with Tremors.

Greatest B movie ever made.

Anyone remember Q-The Winged Serpent?

Black Dynamite. Low-budget but well done & genuinely hilarious. Great Kung-fu action too!

Basket Case.

B movie horror at its finest, and not for the faint-hearted !

I'm not sure it counts as a B movie but Galaxy Quest is excellent.

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is superb fun

Yes! And whilst you're at it, The Cabin in the Woods.

Was Hard Boiled a B Movie? It was very good...

DickBarton

Was Hard Boiled a B Movie?

At the time it was a massive movie (by Hong Kong standards) with it's two biggest stars and a superstar director. So I would say no. But you're right, awesome film.

John Dies at the End 😀

Dark Star

Really random British film where i've yet to meet anyone else that's ever seen it:

Christie Malry's own double entry, just sounds wrong until you realise it's basis is in accounting, where he uses the principles of the double-entry system to settle his owns scores with various people in increasingly violent ways, starred a young Nick Moran, always remember it being surprisingly good

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213561/

I'm not sure if it fits with B movie due to some of the cast, but Earth Girls are Easy is IMO just an absolute classic of what i consider to fit in with what he wants... funny.

Oh, how about [i]Bad Boy Bubby.[/i]

Hell comes to Frogtown
Nazi Zombies 1 & 2
