Favorite B Movie/Cult Flick - Page 4

I've mentioned this once before...

At the time it wasn't a B movie , but it was such a piece of shit that you can't imagine anyone taking it seriously. The cinematic masterpiece is...
Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Anyone else seen it??? I love the part where he's driving off the cliff and you can see a behind the scenes guy pulling the roadsigns with a string... pure crappy genius.

Yes, I agree. PWBA was totally Craptacular. I will never forget the scene with large marge. Still makes me chuckle uncontrollably.

There's a movie called Ed Wood about the director. Includes a little of the background from Plan 9.

Several items of interest.. but my favorite would be the simulated flying saucers -- 2 paper plates glued together and you can see the string!

I love it when they're in the graveyard and one of the characters sort of trips into the tombstone and you can see it wobbling like it's made out of cardboard . . .

Or how about the scenes when, during the establishing shot, it's nighttime, and then they cut into the close-ups in the same scene and it's daytime, or vice versa -- with absolutely no explanation for it!

I gotta second the nominations for "Earth Girls Are Easy," and "Grease 2." The guy who plays Michael went on to play Sexy Rexy in "Empire Records!"

"Donnie Darko" is a really good movie too . . . and Jake Gyllenhaal is yummy. I have to admit I have a hard time buying his relationship with Jena Malone, though, considering the fact that she looks about 12 and he looks like he's 22.

Oh my god! I just saw that movie the other day. Sooooooo f*cked up, but I liked it. Best part of the movie:

Girl 1: "What are feces?"
Girl 2: "Baby mice"
Girl 1: "Awwww"

"North Shore." An extremely cheesy 1980s surfing movie. So dumb and (unintentionally) funny.

Maybe I am getting old, but I remember when brat-packer movies like "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty in Pink" were mainstream! It's shocking to think of them as cult flicks or really even B-movies. They were extremely popular when I was in high school.

My sister LOVES him, but I think any movie with Lorezo Lamas in it qualifies as a B movie. His movies are not that bad, they are just below par, as in you can tell they were made on a small budget.

LMAO @ Pee Wee on the phone in the biker bar.........

B-movies: Any horror movie involving cheerleaders is bound to be a winner -- The Craft. Teenage witch angst! Whoo!
And any Adam Sandler movie, but specifically The Waterboy. Kathy Bates! Fairuza Balk! Adam Sandler playing (as always) a lovable moron! Yay!

Cult favorite: Rocky Horror (of course) and I LOVE Showgirls. It's such a cheesy piece of crap, but it gives me giggle fits every time I watch it.

And by the way, I'm not sure Clockwork Orange can count as a B-movie, or a cult fave for that matter. It's adapted from a very good book and it's directed by Stanley Kubrick, who's an absolute master... although it does count as 'weird movie not a lot of people really like even though it's quite good.' Actually, I think Donnie Darko falls into that category as well, and Harold and Maude too.

Anyone got a good name for the 'kind of disturbing but well made and critically well-received film'?

I don't know what anyone else calls this kind of movie, but I would probably refer to such a film as an "art flick" (or as my dh calls it - "artsy-fartsy"). On the other hand, not all art flicks are well made or critically acclaimed...but usually all are disturbing.

okay, most of my favorites have already been named..grease 2, hairspray(these are actually two of my favorite movies of all time), girls just want to have fun, RHPS, back to the beach, clerks(i personally don't think any other of Kevin Smith's movies could really be considered cult classics tho, they were too high budget) peewees big adventure (minus the large marge part, of course)
some more are : teen witch, and HUNK - does anyone remember this movie? its definately out of print at this point, it was some like mid-1980s cheesy movie about a loser guy who sells his soul to the devil to become cool..thats about all i remember tho
