Although I could probably sit through half the 1973 movie telling you all the falsehoods, exaggerations and general Hollywood cobblers contained therein.

New here. But can't resist contributing to this brilliant thread.
Directed by Peter Jackson before he became famous and was released in 1992 - I think the US title is Dead Alive

I'd like to add The Toxic Avenger, it was such a joy to watch and was the first troma film I saw.

Oh my that's HUGE!! It was a DVD for £1 from the local off license in Streatham Common, a double doozey...Demon House....the image won't load for that....I've kept this DVD for about 15 years despite them both being tragic. I think Demon House has had sequels, admittedly it was better than Driller Killer. A friend also bought it for me, so I had 2 copies for a while!! The warning on the back should have been how awful it was! So bad I can't part with it!

I used to flat in the house they used for some of the exterior shots.
What happened to Jackson? Turned into a colour-by-numbers hack.
Great b-movie! Although I slightly prefer Bad Taste, his other low budget gore film from around that time:-

That's interesting - the last horror /comedy genre movie before LOTR was "The Frighteners"... Wish he tried something in that genre again

That's not a B movie it's just a teen horror film surely?

That's not a B Movie! It was a major Hollywood movie (albeit a crap one)

The Faculty is an enormously entertaining B-movie: smart, unpretentious, and funny as hell

Well worth seeing for B movie fun.

I know it says in one of the reviews "A B movie for the modern era" but I just don't think it fits the criteria.
It's too high budget for starters and did OK at the box office.
I went to see it at the cinema here.
I agree it is a great film. I watched it recently. But really a B movie? Not in my opinion.

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers - Directed by Don Siegel (of Dirty Harry fame)

Built like a steakhouse, handles like a bistro
Piranhaconda is ace, seen it before. Some of the worst special effects i've ever seen, quite how the director/producers/actors etc can watch it back and think "yep, nailed it" is beyond me. Still good fun though.

These kind of movies are said to be extremely profitable- the highest return in the film industry, proportionally speaking. So I guess it's mission accomplished as far as the studio, director and producer are concerned.

meh
what could go wrong, anoght in, some weed and a case of beer- video rented - Harvey Keitel and John Lydon. the tape jammed 20 minutes in. I have never thought to get it again and give it another chance
