Page 1 of Do you have a favorite B Movie which everyone else says is dire, but you love

Their is a C grade movie I love; `SLAVE GIRLS From Beyond Infinity`. A sci-fi version of the short story and 1932 film `The Most Dangerous Game`,

The acting is terrible, the sets made of cardboard. The Robots are straight out of a B&W Dr Who episode. And yet it has a charm all of its own for me. A mad man lures spaceships to crash on his small out of the way planet, where after treating them as guests, he hunts them at night one by one for sport. Their heads mounted in his trophy room, it`s also a nice place to keep the odd damsel chained up in just her stockings and underwear for a bit of ravishment when you feel like it after the kill.The Writer/Director Ken Dixon has used on this low low budget film every pre-CGI Fx`s trick in the book to make his homage to the 1930`s film. It would have been a straight to the Drive-In movie, I`m sure the kids must have loved it. But any would be sci-fi film maker should be made to watch this film to see what you can do on a low budget. Not for their quality, but as inspiration.

You can get a new DVD version for around £3.75 on Amazons marketplace section sent from the USA. But why it was EVER given an 18 Classification beats me.

So! what`s your much loved infant terrible!

Cracking toast, Gromit!

Hell Comes to Frogtown - staring Rowdy Roddy Piper and available on region 1 Anchor Bay DVD

Most of the films I seem to watch are B and C grade.

Always loved Trancers although that might be too well made for inclusion here.

Robot Monster would be my other choice

Andy

Easy... Q, the winged serpent

I know its not in the strict defenition of `B`, but I watched soldier last night and actually quite enjoyed it.

Frankenhooker (Monster created from various prostitues) & Blades (Basically a rip off of Jaws but with killer Roller Blades instead of a great white shark!) :)

soldier, they live, silver bullet, monster squad, blue thunder..

The "B" defintion is meaningless now anyway,. and to most people means 1950/60`s films..

of course, my opinion may be wrong.. as I only can just remember that B movies were shown after the main film? I`m digging myself into a hole here! :-)

Think you have that more or less the wrong way about, why put the support band on after the headline act. ;)

For me it has to be the all time classic "Wild Women of Wongo"......

Chiefs Son "The men of Wongo greeted me well, but tried to kill me in the night, but the women rose up & helped me escape"
Chief "You have been shamed my son"
Chiefs Son "Yes Father but I am alive"



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

Im a sucker for Troma films. `Nyphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell` being a favourite. Or `Terror Firma`. And `Sgt. Kabukiman: NYPD` is pretty cool....

It`s got to be Caroline Munro`s shining hour - Luigi Cozzi`s space epic Starcrash. Just got the R1 DVD and it`s as wonderfully awful as I remember.
