Favorite B-Movies?
Wondering what people's favorite "bad" movies are. Can be low budget, box office flops, foreign, so bad it's good, whatever. I'm pretty big on Cannon Group stuff and cheesy Turkish pop cinema (Tarkan vs. the Vikings, etc.). Mostly go for 80s stuff as that's my generation.

Does Big Trouble in Little China count?
Otherwise, and in no particular order:
- UHF
- Six String Samurai
- Hudson Hawk
- Repo Man
- Hobo with a Shotgun
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension
- Death Race
- Dead Alive
- WolfCop
I had a friend in college who was so proud of his VHS of UHF. Solid choice.
Repo Man is also a solid, underrated choice.
"That's why I don't drive see... The more you drive, the less intelligent you are."
I have a collector's edition DVD of Repo Man that came in a metal tin shaped like a license plate
Used to love watching Moviedrome, where Repo Man's director Alex Cox would introduce some amazing cult films and what he loved about them.
Big Trouble counts as one of the greatest movies of all time. :)
Buckaroo Banzai is one of my all-time favorites. It is the quintessential New Wave film, featuring John Lithgow's most unhinged performance - "Laugh while you can, monkey boy!"
Also "No matter where you go, there you are."
+1 for Dead Alive
The largest volume of fake blood in all movie history. It always shocked me that Peter Jackson was ever considered to do LotR, since I was quite familiar with all of his previous work. I remember nearly falling over when I heard the announcement and let me tell you, the images in my head at that point were NOT what we got in the theaters!
Trust me, as a Dead Alive fan I had the exact same thoughts.
Big trouble and buckaroo bonsai are two of my favorites.
