.oscarsear  -  those movies you listed, with the exception of Red Planet Mars aren't really a B movie selection, actually a big step up, unlike the aforementioned Red Planet Mars. And did anyone see "Terror From the Year 5000"?  What a stinker….. yet I remember I was 5 when my Dad took me to see it in the theater.  Haven't seen it since but I still recall that horrible scream from the burnt creature. OMG!

 

 

On another note, my Son told me not to see a movie called "The Room" which he said made "Manos, The Hands Of Fate" equal to "Citizen Kane".

Guilty as charged.  I am gleefully naive about the nuanced trappings of Hollywoods sundry definitions and accomplishments.  IMHO most of what Hollywood has churned out has been rather lackluster.  A or B or whatever.

Maybe we should define what a B movie is.  I think of it as a low budget movie, stupid plot, with no-name actors in the lead roles with bad acting, and the movie is so bad it's like a train wreck, you can't help watching.

Any movie with Ronald Reagan.

What?  You dare diss the Gipper???  The "Knute Rockne All American "Story?  Blasphemy!  I suppose you didn't like "Bedtime for Bonzo" either.  :angry:

 

Your statement is not a knock on the Gipper, Earl, it's an indictment of you for your lack of appreciation for the classics! 

 

 

:P

I'll go on record as saying I hate B movies.  Why? Because they're terrible, that's why.  That's why I don't have a favorite. 

 

I will admit though, there was one movie whose actress as a kid I was in love with;  The Attack of the 50 foot woman!  :wub:

 

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is a 1958 American low-budget science fiction feature film and starred Allison Hayes, William Hudson and Yvette Vickers.  The film was a take on other movies that had also featured size-changing humans, namely The Amazing Colossal Man and The Incredible Shrinking Man, but substituting a woman as the protagonist instead of a man. The story concerns the plight of a wealthy heiress whose close encounter with an enormous alien being causes her to grow into a giantess.[2]

The question was "What was your favorite B movie" You then defined "B" movie as one with a low production budget. I responded any movie with Ronald Reagan was my favorite "B" movie.

What am I missing???

 

The joke.  :tongue:

I must be too subtle.  My wife always seems to spot my dry sarcasm. She certainly points it out enough.

 

I'm just having some fun with you Earl.  Maybe that's a West Virginia thing, it's what guys to do in a group with other guys.  I'm sure any minor mix-ups in communication is more due to my inappropriate humor than your failure to get it.  :D

So let me see if I understand you. You are insinuating that I am not too bright.

And that from a Mountianeer!
