A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- 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?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Mars Attacks was a big enough Hollywood production, I don't think it's a B-movie at all. It's a cult classic, and it intentionally uses B-movie aesthetics for comedic purposes, but it's not a B-movie.
And John Carpenter is such a skilled auteur that even his low-budget classics are considered top-shelf movie magic. Not B-movies at all. They're A-movies that shaped the horror genre.
