Oh wow. How many of these movies will you admit to seeing? 100 "best" B's of all time

[NRaleighLiberal]

http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2014/05/the-100-best-b-movies-of-all-time.html?a=1

I've seen parts or all of 6 of them (mostly stumbled upon during late night passes through bad TV years ago)....but I just gotta find FDR American Badass (number 35 on the list!)!

[pinboy3niner]

1. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms?

How could I have missed that? I love deep movies.

[Auggie]

2. I've seen four all the way through ...

where's Flesh Gordon? That would make five. The Groove Tube would make six.

[sakabatou]

3. 11, I think

Some were MST3K versions.

[charlie and algernon]

4. I can only recall seeing 3 all the way through

though I've seen some of Behind the Mask. Trying to remember if I ever saw Mac and Me, looks familar. Surprised that they have FDR American Badass and not Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Any movie that features Lincoln racing to manufacture thousands of steel bullets in order to save the Union Army at the Battle of Gettysburg from an army of vampires should be at the top of any "Best B-Movies" list.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. I have seen parts of several of them =

88. It's Alive
86. The Blob (the original 1958 film)
77. Basket Case
70. The Man with The X-Ray Eyes
67. Mr. Sardonicus
60. The Tingler
50. The Magic Sword
49. Faster, Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill !
32. The Incredible Shrinking Man
29. The Haunted Palace
26. Foxy Brown
12. House on Haunted Hill
11. Plan Nine From Outer Space

Probably fell asleep on the sofa either on Sunday afternoons or during Late Night bouts with Insomnia

I actually want to see #78 Dark and Stormy Night ... lol

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. Some on your list were my few watches as well -

60, 32 (loved it - was a Saturday afternoon creature feature when I was really young!), 12 and 11.

[calimary]

51. OMG!!! "Mr. Sardonicus"!

That gripped my imagination for years!

And "The Blob"! And "Plan Nine from Outer Space" - I saw parts of that one.

[NYC_SKP]

6. LOL! "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

[begin_within]

53. That is a GREAT flick.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead?

Rut-roh. Sorry, but Skinner may have to ban this thread now.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. IKR !!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. If you like FDR: American Badass you will probably love Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

[pinboy3niner]

10. I lost all respect for the list when I saw this one wasn't included...

My Dad took all my friends and me to it for my birthday!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. How on earth have I missed that one! But, really I need to show this list to one of my best friends.

She is really into this genre and can speak in depth about the directors, producers and actors.

Her recall is amazing.

Especially since it is a great pass time of ours to sit around all hours and partoke while watching her wide and varied collection.

You should see her dig through the cheapo DVD bins. Digging way down and pulling up some Rare Gem that I have never hear of and she knows all about it. Raves about everyone involved with the film.

She is a huge Bond fan, too.

[JimDandy]

13. You get a B

from me for the Most Smiles in one post!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. Hey, thanks !! That is Highest Honors for this thread

[JimDandy]

19. I gave you an A for most artful and appropriate use of them

but, due to the thread theme, I focused on the other grade.

[GreydeeThos]

14. I saw 'Scanners', but it did not make the list

[a kennedy]

15. OMGosh, here's the beginning of the horrible clown on American Horror Story - Freak Show....

and this:

and what about the Fog with Adrienne Barbeau.....it was just on last night.

[cyberswede]

16. Nine for me

My favorite line in Dolemite is "I'm so bad, I kick my own ass twice a day."

89. Dolemite (1975)

86. The Blob (1958 - Steve McQueen!)

60. The Tingler (1959 - classic!)

49. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

46. Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

26. Foxy Brown (1974)

13. Return of the Living Dead (1985)

12. House on Haunted Hill (1959)

11. Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959 - best bad movie EVER)

Others I would have included:

"The Terror" (1963, dir. Roger Corman, starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson!)
"I was a Zombie for the FBI" (1982)

[femmocrat]

18. I saw most of the ones from the 1950s and early 1960s.

We had a neighborhood movie theater that used to show them, sometimes a double feature. It cost 50 cents to get in! The movies would run Thursday, Friday and Saturday, then change for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

When we were around junior high age, we often went on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. I remember just about all of the silly monster B-movies and Vincent Price flicks.

Good old days! LOL

[RebelOne]

20. I have seen 9 of those movies. n/t

[Solly Mack]

21. 7 of them.

[ailsagirl]

22. Chopping Mall??? Good grief...

These:

The Blob (first version)
The Incredible Shrinking Man
House on Haunted Hill


I keep hearing about Birdemic-- I'd see it but I doubt Netflix carries it. I'd have to check.

[bikebloke]

23. 13

11. Plan 9 From Outer Space
12. House on Haunted Hill
15. Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine
18. Dead Alive (aka Braindead)
32. The Incredible Shrinking Man
38. Death Race 2000
44. It Came From Beneath the Sea
49. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
60. The Tingler
79. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
88. It’s Alive
96. Iron Sky
100. The Giant Claw

[Xyzse]

24. Let me see what I have seen... I count 7.

99 - Hercules in New York
89 - Dolemite :: I even saw "The Human Tornado"... Tornado is pronounced "tor-nay-duh", I kept laughing.
65 - The Stuff: I saw this as a child. Don't remember much of it, except for a fear of yogurt for a little while.
55 - Showdown in Little Tokyo - Funny as heck. I busted a gut seeing Dolph Lundgren run wearing a hakama.
51 - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation - I actually saw this in theaters. I am ashamed of it actually.
25 - Laser Mission - Brandon Lee, WTF man...
11 - Plan 9 From Outer Space - I for some reason was shown this in High School during class. I don't remember the reason for it.

Movies I want to see:

58 - Master of the Flying Guillotine:: I haven't seen, but want to, and I think there is a newer movie remake of this which was in Netflix for a little while called Guillotines.
35 - FDR: American Badass :: Just because.
15 - Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine :: Because the picture looks like a younger version of the Most Interesting Man in the World.

[Blue_Tires]

25. No "Satan's Cheerleaders?"

I could probably name 100 more candidates if I could remember some titles (99.9% of the B-movies I saw as a kid were of course in the middle of the night when I was half-asleep already)...

It's kind of a strange, flawed list -- The writer is kind of mashing traditional late-night "B-movies" (which makes up most of his list) with surprisingly good but VERY obscure movies, cult classics, flat-out weird stuff, flat-out bad stuff, big-budget duds, parodies of the genre and the "so-bad-it's-good" stuff...And lets be honest -- NO movie from "Lifetime" belongs on the list, because you'd have to put at least 10 others on it, too...

For the sake of proper debate, the list should be divided into horror, sci-fi, action/fighting, and 'other' categories...

For the record, I've seen 8 movies on the list, plus the 7 from MST3K episodes, although I don't really count them...I've seen parts of 10 more movies before losing interest or falling asleep...

[Art_from_Ark]

35. I never saw "Satan's Cheerleaders"

but I remember seeing the title on the marquee of a drive-in theater.

[Callmecrazy]

26. FDR American Badass can be found here...

http://genvideos.com/

Many new, great movies on this site available for free.
My favorite site for free movies.

[jakeXT]

27. 3 and a remake

Some nudity

the remake of Dynomite

[KamaAina]

28. Astonishingly, we were just discussing C.H.U.D. (#54) in the lunchroom today

I posited how astonished I would have been 30 years ago to find that people were still talking about C.H.U.D. 30 years alter!

[KamaAina]

29. Silly Andy Sidaris (director of #1). There are no snakes in Hawai'i.

1. Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Year: 1987
Director: Andy Sidaris...

Oh, and have I mentioned that the subplot revolves around the girls hunting a deadly, escaped snake that has been “infected with toxins from cancer-infested rats”? On its own, the snake could make this an awesome movie...

Then again, as I recall, the flight in a certain Samuel L. Jackson flick originated in Hawai'i.

[Recursion]

46. They even made fun of that in the movie

Mook: "Boss, are you sure importing a bunch of snakes to Hawaii to sneak them on the witness's plane is the best way to do this?"

Boss: "Idiot! Don't you think I've thought of every other possibility?"

[One_Life_To_Give]

30. How is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, missing from the list?

BOSCON used to run B-movies thru the night for all the insomniacs or those who couldn't afford to get a room.

[WinkyDink]

31. These are "Z" movies.

[Brother Buzz]

32. I saw two of them

FDR: American Badass and Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine.

[csziggy]

33. Bad "B" movies are my favorite! I've seen 31 of the movies on that list

Most of the ones on my list are from the 1950s and 60s, none have been made since 1990. I've been to all night B movie festivals - though concentrating on the scifi/fantasy type. It's fun watching Plan 9 From Outer Space with people who not only know the dialogue by heart, they know the back story and where to watch for bloopers and silliness. Being stoned only makes it better.

"X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes" was the first one I ever saw. My sisters took me to see it in the theater when I was a kid and it scared the stew out of me. I had nightmares about it, but couldn't tell Mom because my sisters weren't supposed to take me to scary movies - and I was more afraid of them than I was Mom or the movie.

[Art_from_Ark]

34. I've seen two of them from start to finish

The Magic Sword, and the House on Haunted Hill.

The bad guy in the first movie was none other than Basil Rathbone, aka Sherlock Holmes.

[rurallib]

36. Good to see at least one Russ Meyers film on the list

he was - uh - important to the constantly horny 14 to 19 year old male of the 60s.

Probably saw all or parts of 10 of those.

[JimDandy]

37. I might have seen part of Foxy Brown

but that's it. I'd actually like to see Time Chasers, though.

[petronius]

38. Admit to seeing? I'm ashamed that I haven't seen them all!

Off to Netflix...

Thanks for the list!

[NRaleighLiberal]

40. yes, I need to get to work as well!

[Initech]

39. All of these sound awesome, and all are easily better than Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

[Recursion]

42. I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel

When Tarantula took to the hills...

[NRaleighLiberal]

43. that does belong on the list, for sure!

can't even say how many times we've watched it!

[Recursion]

44. Well, the whole movie was an homage to these classics, but that song especially

I also love how many of these I haven't seen on their own but as part of old MST3K marathons.

[NRaleighLiberal]

45. I need to go back and watch as many MST3Ks as I can - we got rid of cable years ago

but quite a few can be streamed on Netflix.

[Recursion]

47. Have you seen their new project, Rifftrax?

Instead of B movies they do blockbusters. Their Lord of the Rings trilogy is great.

[NRaleighLiberal]

48. oh well, there goes my thoughts of going to bed relatively early!

thanks for the tip!

[3catwoman3]

49. None.

And I think I am glad about that.

[jmowreader]

50. Just two

The Stuff, and Death Race 2000.

[MADem]

52. Mystery Science Theater oughta "do" all of them....

I haven't even heard of most of them. I've seen Plan 9 From Outer Space, Foxy Brown, and a bit of Dolomite, so I'm running at just under three percent!

How did I miss this one?

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. Not a single one!

Haven't heard of most of them and it's on your head that I have now.

[NRaleighLiberal]

56. .

[Tommy_Carcetti]

55. Just two. I'm so uncultured.

Mac and Me, and The Blob (80s version). And I didn't even see the latter until only a few months ago.

And yes, Mac and Me is really a McDonalds commercial wrapped up inside a ET rip-off.

[blackcrowflies]

57. they don't make movies like they used to

where are the giant radioactive ants climbing out of the subway?

[MerryBlooms]

58. I used to love the Godzilla marathons

I'm pretty sure I've seen all of these and more.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/run-screaming-residents-of-tokyo-here-are-the-top-10-godzilla-movies-ever-20140513

[Hatchling]

59. I've seen over a dozen of them.

Primarily because of a penchant of my young parents love of drive in movie double features and the assumption their child would fall asleep in the backseat. Also the Saturday baby sitting chore my young cousins had of me. Easiest was all of us going downtown to see the penny movies. They never got to finish seeing the Tingler. Halfway through I broke ito screams of terror and they had to remove me from the theatre.

[Initech]

60. Samurai Cop FTW!!!!!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

61. 23

But, my favorites are mostly from the late fifties, until the early eighties. Old B movies, grindhouse, whatever-sploitation, creepy foreign movies, and newer faithful tributes to those genres are my thing.

[pokerfan]

62. Thirteen

96. Iron Sky
90. Sharknado
86. The Blob
84. Piranha
81. Hobgoblins
80. Leprechaun 3
49. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
44. It Came From Beneath the Sea
32. The Incredible Shrinking Man
26. Foxy Brown
13. Return of the Living Dead
12. House on Haunted Hill
11. Plan 9 From Outer Space

[ailsagirl]

63. How about "I Dismember Mama?"

Never saw it but the title was... intriguing??

[Broken_Hero]

64. Just 21 of them, nt

[Doc_Technical]

65. I've only seen 12 (hangs head in shame)

I'm a disgrace to the fraternal order of celler dweller sloths.
