My favorite B-movies (top 20)
I watch a lot of low budget crap movies. But it needs to be done to find these gems. These are my favorite B-Movies. They are one that really tickled me personally when i watched them.
I tried to focus on less well known movies and movies made for $5M but a few better known movies have slipped in just because they are must see films that are hard to leave out despite being cliche.
I'll add comments over time on each film but as summary I am not saying these are well made films but they standout in someway and accomplished more than the sum of their parts

- 20 titles
- DirectorDavid Webb PeoplesStarsRutger HauerJoan ChenDelroy LindoIn a future where most of mankind and technology is wiped out, six people travel from place to place playing a brutal form of football with a dog skull. They hope one day to play in the league in a city.Bleak future, Brutal pointless sport with a dog skull, Rutger Hauer, and a heart warming story of underdog triumph. How can you go wrong? No really! I love this movie. I feels real inspite of everthing.
While this was a under-watched movie for a long time it is now considered a cult classic and fairly well respected. But it can still be hard to find. - DirectorAndrew CurrieStarsKesun LoderBilly ConnollyCarrie-Anne MossIn a society where humanity has narrowly won a war against a zombie outbreak and technology allows for zombies to be used as working slaves, a young boy's close friendship with his family's household zombie becomes problematic.Ah, what a perfect world. It is Lassie with Zombies. It is like this movie was made just for me. Who else would they have made it for?....
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDavid EmgeKen ForeeScott H. ReinigerDuring an escalating zombie epidemic, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter and his TV executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.In my opinion this is the best zombie movie made. The new one sucks in comparison.
- DirectorLarry BlamireStarsLarry BlamireFay MastersonBrian HoweA bad scientist and his wife, a mad scientist, a skeleton, and two aliens and their escaped pet are all searching for the elusive element "atmospherium".A goofy homage to low budget films. It just works for me. It is laugh out loud funny for some but to others it may seem painful and stupid (But I cry for those in the second camp).
It may help that I'm a scientist and named Paul, Just like the main character in the movie.
Oh, Paul!.... - DirectorJames IsaacStarsKane HodderLexa DoigJeff GeddisJason Voorhees is cryogenically frozen at the beginning of the 21st century, and is discovered in the 25th century and taken to space. He gets thawed, and begins stalking and killing the crew of the spaceship that's transporting him.You know what they say about horror movies. They are always better in space.... Well this time they are right. Jason X isn't really a horror movie it is a action comedy and they got it right. It does not take itself seriously but it isn't completely goofy or slap stick. If you are lonely, like the ships pilot, give this movie a chance.
- DirectorHal AshbyStarsRuth GordonBud CortVivian PicklesYoung, rich, and obsessed with death, Harold finds himself changed forever when he meets lively septuagenarian Maude at a funeral.Not a trashy, or low brow movie like the rest of the movies in this list. Just a great movie that is not often seen these days. Everyone should give it a view.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellSarah BerryDan HicksAsh Williams, the lone survivor of an earlier onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits, holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.The classic b-grade movie that all other crappy movies want to be. Not really a surprise or unheard of anymore. Nevertheless I feel I have to put it on the list and give it the credit it deserves as it is often the start of people bad movie addiction.
- DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.
- DirectorMichael AndersonStarsMichael YorkJenny AgutterRichard JordanA police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.
- DirectorMark A.Z. DippéStarsTory KittlesK.D. AubertChina ChowA genetically-altered fish wreaks havoc on a small fishing town.
- DirectorMichael A. SimpsonStarsPamela SpringsteenRenée EstevezTony HigginsA sex-changed slasher returns as a camp counselor.
- DirectorMatt VancilStarsNathan RiceCarol RoscoeBrian S. LewisLodge, a gaming geek, takes his playing very seriously, unlike his babyish friends who'd rather be immature. He decides to shake things up by introducing two unconventional people to their group.Hail Dorkness rising. I have no idea how they pulled this movie off without it being the dumbest thing ever. A low budget movie with unknowns that just works. It is funny and heart warming to see this movie work out so well.
It is like a movie you and your friends would make but it doesn't completely suck. You would look dumber.... - DirectorStuart GordonStarsEzra GoddenFrancisco RabalRaquel MeroñoA boating accident runs a young man and woman ashore in a decrepit Spanish fishing town which they discover is in the grips of an ancient sea god and its monstrous half human offspring.
- DirectorFred Olen RayStarsJohn Blyth BarrymoreBrinke StevensJ.J. NorthAfter an apocalyptic alien attack on Earth, an ion storm hits the planet. A small team of male and female commandos takes shelter in an abandoned research facility. However, something worse than the aliens awaits them in there.Wow, this movie sucks and boy do I love it. It is all the elements of a true bad movie simplified down to is basic elements. It still holds together and never leaves you bored. A great laugh and moan movie for friends.
