Post by: nerveblocker on Jul 10, 2002 at 09:33 AM: Would you classify the Evil Dead Trilogy as a B-movie especially Army of Darkness? Well, I enjoyed them. ;D

How about the Godzilla series: Godzilla vs. Kingkong

Talking about B-movies...how come Friday the 13th reached part VIII like you know what to expect...helpless sexy, unclothed women being slaughtered by a guy with a hockey mask. But the thing I am always looking after is the ending...how is Jason killed...then comes another sequel showing how he came alive again...but I still patronize the movie. Haha!

Looking forward for Jason meets Freddy or Jason meets Mike Myers. I'm sure that would be a hit! ;D

Post by: xage on Jul 10, 2002 at 09:37 AM: The first two Evil Dead Are B-movies but the third one is not.

As for Friday the 13th, you forgot to mention the upcoming Jason X (The interplanetarty sci-fi of Friday the 13th) DVD!

Well, I am just confused on how you classify a movie as a B or spaghetti movie? It didn't earn money...nalugi ba? Or sobrang baduy and peke ang mga special effects for it to be a B-movie? Please enlighten me. Duh ???

Sorry about forgetting Jason X. Haven't watched the movie though.

Interesting... How low a budget???

Because if budget makes a movie a b-movie, then my vote for really cool B-Movie goes to Life is Beautiful. There's also Clerks which was made with a very low budget. Then there's a whole bunch of Woody Allen movies that cost a lot less than George Romero's trips of zombie fancy. How about the Run Lola Run that's now considered a classic.

Dont be fooled by the dvd cover. This DVD compilation is more of classic cult films than bloodbath. Italian films done back in 60's & 70's

Well its a nice catch for 4movies for $9

A B-movie compilation at a B price..

I felt sorry for Susan Africa. She's great and all but why this film?

Spoiler:
OK performance just to be offed in a bloody mess with her husband after 30 minutes into the film.

Post by: riverfan on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:39 PM: Duck! The Carbine High Massacre

(http://images.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/624300h.jpg)

SYNOPSIS:
The controversial film that landed its filmmakers in jail!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to school...

A gruesome and grim satirical portrayal of two teenage social outcasts and what leads them to open fire on their fellow students and teachers before killing themselves. This cruel and gory film, the first made about the high school shooting phenomenon was considered so controversial it landed the filmmakers in jail! This created a nationwide media circus on FOX, ABC, CBS, Court TV and Entertainment Tonight.

Before there was Michael Moore's BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, before Gus Van Zant's ELEPHANT, there was DUCK!

**one reviewer on imdb said "great film to watch with sick and twisted friends"
