Re: "Anybody enjoy any good b-movies? I've personally been…"
I guess the archetype of this genre is Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from outer space". It's so awful, it's actually good, in a weird kind of way.

I love watching old episodes of MST3K with Joel/Mike if that counts. Granted they do rather rip the movies to bits, but I've found myself becoming quite fond of some of them. Not "Mano: The Hand of Fate" though - o one could enjoy that :)

Oh, you want movies that are so awful they become good? There's always much debate on that subject. Most are low-budget stuff, but sometimes you get a real blockbuster stinker. I can suggest a few that are best watched with friends.
Zardoz: Look at the poster.
Jupiter Ascending: A visual spectacular, shame the story makes no sense and the movie can't hold a consistent tone.
Battlefield Earth: A movie tribute to a hack writer.
Robotcop.... 3: The film that killed the franchise.
Plan 9 from Outer Space: Classic.
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: Better watched than described.
Hackers: A glorious distilation of Hollywood's idea of hacking.
Lawnmower Man 2: True eighties cyberpunk - but it was made in 1996.

Anybody enjoy any good b-movies? I've personally been enjoying them more than most Hollywood budget films these days. Most mainstream movies seem to formulaic to me nowadays. I also like some of the bizarre hilarity of b-movies and how many of them don't take themselves very seriously. Any thoughts?
