What was that movie with Johnny Depp, where he is in Vegas all strung out on drugs.
Really weird movie…[/quote]
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Terry Gilliam got much of the “feel” right on that one.
If you liked the movie, you must read the book by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson.
I gotta get on this…
Five
Barfly
The Hitcher
Falling Down
The Warriors
Thunder in Paradise!
Sling Blade and Eternal Sunshine aren’t B movies.
Citizen Kane
The Godfather

King of New York (awesome cast)
Natural Born Killers
No Retreat, No Surrender

I’ve never seen Boondock and just ordered the special edition DVD last week. I cant wait to watch it.[/quote]
Boondock Saints is a bad ass movie. You will like it for sure.
SLC Punk
Starship Troopers
Clerks
American History X (b movie?)
Those would be on my list, along with these
Zatoichi films starring Shintaro Katsu.
These are awesome.
While I have only seen the first 4 I’m trying to get a hold of the rest.

Let me take this moment to pointout a great, unsung classic: Day of the Dead
Why is it a great B-movie?
The obviously gay actor is the only guy in the movie who has a girlfriend.
Dr. “Frankenstein”. One of the best latter-day mad scientists. Probably third behind Herbert West and the other guy in Re-Animator
Bub, the loveable zombie.
Rhodes, one the great weasel-dicks of all time. A small man thrust into a important position.
The fruition of Romero’s overall theme of man’s inhumanity to man. Who are the REAL monsters of this movie?
Watch Day and then watch 28 Days Later, so you can see how much stuff that overrated POS lifted pad & parcel from Romero’s wonderful low-budget masterpiece.
Rant over.

DAY OF THE DEAD is amazing. For sure my favorite Romero film.
What did you think of Land of The Dead? I thought is was awful and not worthy of Romero.
Anyway another awesome B Flick not yet mentioned:
SLAPSHOT

Slapshot is a classic in the genre, good movie.
Trouble in little China is a cool B flick with a solid performance of Kurt Russel. Another one would be Tango & Cash, with Russel and Stallone and a young Teri Hatcher playing an exotic dancer as a bonus.
Willow!! Can’t believe this hasn’t been said yet.
Princess Bride, good stuff
One I discovered last month was Lucky Number Slevin, with Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman (in one of his rare appearance as a bad guy) and sir Ben Kingsley. One of the coolest plot ever and a cast of good actors.

Had a couple of nice scenes, but overall I was very dissappointed. I think it was too big-budget for its own good.

Hey, it happens to the best. Just look at Georges Lucas. You can almost tell the budget of one of his movie by the quality

Unlike his previous DEAD movies, Land had had nothing of substance. Sad really. I think I waited 20 years for that movie and would never had thought it would be so disappointing.
