The good, the bad, and the B-movies

As it turns out, those shitty B-movies can end up being really entertaining. I'm sure that the folks on PA know this better than most. You've got the hammy acting, the terrible score, the effects which make up 90% of the budget and the beyond-awful plots. I wouldn't have it any other way.

You've got the classics, such as:
  • CHUD
  • Night of The Creeps
  • Plan 9 from Outerspace
  • Return of The Living Dead 1 & 2
  • Killer Klowns from Outerspace
  • Army of Darkness
  • Evil Dead 1 & 2
  • Chopping Mall
  • They Live

And the legendary MANSQUITO

I just finished watching Night of The Creeps, which is like an 80's teen movie mixed with zombies and a wise-ass suicidal detective.

So, SE++, what is your favorite? Aside from Mansquito, of course.

    I never got the whole "so bad it's good" thing.

    Usually when I see a movie that's "so bad," it's "bad."

    A majority of them suck hard, but there's a few watchable movies in the lot with some good lines and corny, hilarious special effects.

    I love everything Don Dohler put out.

    Vampire Sisters, the one with the two vampire sisters who run a porn site where they somehow seduce men to their own deaths?! Fucking magical.

    the punisher fights parkour gangsters and as one is jumping through the air, doing a cartwheel towards another building completely unaware of frank, he is hit by a rocket from an rpg

    he promptly explodes as everyone acts confused as fuck

    which was also my response

    Yeah, it rambled, and it was retarded that they gave Jesus a haircut, but it's still totally worth seeing just for the two soliloquies by that insane priest at the beginning and end, if for no other reason.

    I actually saw this in theaters (only my group of three people in the whole damn theater on opening night, by the way).

    And when that happened, my jaw just kind of dropped. They take so long on the damn sequence before it, so when it finally hits I was just like "brilliant."
