TOP B-MOVIE LIST
Looking to use this thread to create a superlative B-movie list.
Criteria:
-cheap (below average budget for the time or second billing of a double feature);
-middle-tier or unknown actors (who may have become A-listers after said film);
-an identifiable genre film;
-NOT a "so-bad-it's-good-film" - no, these are genuine quality films therefore eliminating films by Ed Wood et. al.;
-questionable morals or the depiction/suggestion of graphic violence.
-American
-an obvious "fantasy" (i.e. not entirely serious/real-world film).
***Bonus if...the movie's in black and white; an RKO picture...
Anything to add to these principles?
Here's what I can think of:
Shock Corridor
Kiss Me Deadly
Halloween
The Terminator
House of Usher (1960 Corman)
Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!
Night of the Living Dead
Easy Rider
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
American Graffiti
Blood Simple
Evil Dead
Easy Rider
Cat People
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Sex, Lies, and Videotape
Scanners
