A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

THE LAST SCREAM YOU HEAR WILL BE YOUR OWN.

SIRIUS 6B, the year 2078. On a distant mining planet ravaged by a decade of war, scientists have created the perfect weapon: a blade-wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers designed for one purpose only -- to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms.

It's really shocking how many Philip K. Dick stories have been made into films. Off the top of my head, the ones I can remember are:

Total Recall (two versions)

Blade Runner

Screamers

A Scanner Darkly

Paycheck

Imposter

The Man in the High Castle (a streaming series, not a film)

The Minority Report

...And I'm sure that I'm missing at least some. If he hadn't died so young, he would have been insanely wealthy from how many times his stories have been adapted into major films.
