Squirrel 5,180 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Based on the shoutbox conversations the other day I was considering nominating Shark movies but I’ll widen the net and go for modern B movies. It doesn’t have to be a shark film then as there are many other cheesy monster flicks released in recent years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw180 6,843 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'll go for historical again. Exact definition "based on or inspired by true story set pre 1950". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spun the wheel but Mobile YouTube is being a piece of shit right now and is having issues with uploading. I dont know why they would have removed the option to upload straight to YT like i had been doing all this time and now I cant just upload it directly. Why must they fuck with shit all the time. Anyways, as soon as it allows me to I will upload the vid. Oh and for the first time, the second spin also landed on the winning genre, so it's meant to be. lol.

LimeGreenLegend 4,178 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Gonna be some strange films nominated this month I'll kick things off with Braindead (also known as Dead Alive) directed by Peter Jackson.

LimeGreenLegend 4,178 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 If you're struggling to think of a film, here's a pretty substantial list. Because @Squirrel specified modern b-movies, lets only pick something from 1980 or later. https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-b-movie-movies/reference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) I remember loving the movie called FEAST, thankfully I watched it before becoming the film fan I am now. But I want to look around more and see if I can find something I havent watched before I officially nominate something. Here is a small list to help you as well: https://screenrant.com/best-modern-b-movies/ Edited June 29, 2019 by Con 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,178 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 I was gonna nominate Bubba Ho-Tep, but I've seen it about 20 times Wouldn't mind if someone else nominates it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,178 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 I'll be posting my Rush notes tomorrow, and should be watching Mad Max as well. Then I only need to do Gravity and I'm all caught up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,843 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I'm not really sure what the definition of "B-movie" is. Would some of Kevin Smith's films count? Clerks, Mallrats etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would some of Kevin Smith's films count? Clerks, Mallrats etc Kevin Smith's films, while having the budgets of b-movies, wouldn't be considered b-movies. The main determining factor is in the plots. Smith's films, and many other indie films, are about real people in realistic (for the movies) situations. B-movies are for the most part over the top, exploitative, and fantastical. Most of the time they are horror or sci-fi films, with the difference between b-movie horror and sci-fi, and say, 2001 and The Shining, is the craftsmanship and the quality of the final product. Kubrick was one of the best directors of all time, and he had a budget and a name-filled cast. He didn't direct b-movies. Not to say that all b-movies are badly made and shit. Romero's zombie films are all b-movies, as are Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films. Otherwise, you have stuff like the sexploitation/blacksploitation films of the 60s/70s, so stuff like Foxy Brown, Shaft, The Man From O.R.G.Y would all be b-movies. Basically, if it looks cheap and makes you feel dirty while watching it, then it's a b-movie. The Ranker list I linked above is all b-movies, I'm sure there's something that catches your eye in there.

djw180 6,843 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) OK, I had a look at the list Con posted. Not seen any of them. Not heard of most of them. Most looks like films I wouldn't pay to see but might watch if they happened to be on TV. One stood out to me, Grindhouse, partly made by Quentin Tarrantino. But having looked to see how easy it would be to watch it I find that although it was made as a Tarrantino-Rodriguez double feature, the DVD release is as two seperate films and we'd need to buy / rent them both to see the film as the directors intended. So I am going for my second choice from that list, which is described as an ode to Russ Meyer, and that is Bitch Slap Edited June 30, 2019 by djw180 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I will say, Hatch & Dodge vs Evil, I mean , Tucker & Dale vs Evil looks fun. One of my fave zombie films fall right in the cusp of the genre but sadly doesn’t make the B-movie list and that film is “The Return of the Living Dead”...just made professionally enough to avoid the list. I love that movie ever since I was 12 years old. Otherwise that would be my nomination. So I’m gonna spend my Sunday looking around for a B movie I really want to watch.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 There is only one film I can nominate for this and it was the reason behind the B Movie nomination in the first place. It is of course Sharknado Now you guys will be hoping I don’t get 3 spins in a row ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beez 5,091 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I will pick a favorite from my youth. Escape from New York. Kurt Russell is so cool as Snake Pliskin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
