[#8084398]

I am organising a last-rites do for a mate getting married next week. He is a big fan of terrible B movies with his all time favourite being [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2784512/ ]Zombeavers[/url].

I'm after recommendations for anything else that might be worth a look. Must be off the scale absurd. Dead Snow is probably too sane.

Possibly a little darker than what you're looking for, but a classic...

Bad Taste is good too.

Anything on the Sci-Fi channel.

Ice Spiders leaps to mind.

Bad Taste was the very first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. Braindead (Dead Alive) is also brilliant as said.

Sharktopus. It's terrible and everyone in it knew it, the director knew it and somehow they pulled it off that you could laugh along with them.

Oh, Killer Klowns From Outer Space as well!

Street trash (is amazing).

The deadly spawn.

Undead (Australian zombie film).

They Live (best fist fight ever).

Class of Nuke'em high.

Night of the comet.

Sharktopus reminds me ....

Sharknado.

This was, however, such an awful film that it should be introduced as some kind of inhumane punishment for those who don't indicate.

Also, the whole Bronx warriors trilogy is amazingly bad.

What about some of the old, classic monster movies? Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan etc etc.

Possibly the best shite film you will ever see. But make sure you are p**sed up first ๐Ÿ™‚

Man Bites Dog, whilst a good film, it is certainly not one to watch with a bunch of mates on a stag do, or any other pre-marital event. If you want to kill the mood in one fell swoop, then go ahead.

He's watched Bad Taste and Sharknado. But Surf Nazi's Must Die sounds perfect

Quite.

I remember someone put it on claiming it was "hilarious". It was his birthday so we did. Mood killer doesn't even come close. I'm sure there is a message in there somewhere but I suspect he found it funny for all the wrong reasons.

Oh, whilst not strictly B-Grade any John Carpenter movie, especially one with Kurt Russel, is a winner.

Do the Grindhouse trilogy count as B movies? I don't think they really do...

Dozens of posts and not one mention of Starship Troopers? I am dissapointed.

Starship Troopers isn't a B movie, that's why.

Why not something close to home, always fun spotting the odd 'oh, wasn't she in Emerdale' etc?

Another vote for Class of Nuke'em High and Hobo with a Shotgun, also Turbo Kid, Razorback, The Guyver (with Mark Hamill), Buck Rogers (not technically a b movie but still pretty shocking).

I just remembered this one. It's actually well worth a watch...

The best thing about the Troma films like Nuke'em High and Toxic Avenger is that you can watch them with the sound off (or just get drunk and rowdy) and still get the same effect as there's almost always something horrific or titillating on screen and no real story to follow.

Hudson Hawk. Not a B movie by design yet has all of the ingredients on a big budget.

Same goes for Lake Placid which is also great and dire.

Strictly B Movies:

Fatal Flying Guillotine
Attack of the Giant Leeches
Godzilla vs Mothra

And that one (title escapes me) with the log cabin full of pretty females who are being stalked by Bigfoot

In similar vein:

Rubber is *fantastic*.

whilst not strictly B-Grade any John Carpenter movie, especially one with Kurt Russel, is a winner.

Escape from New York is one of my all-time favourite films. I don't know how many times I've watched it but it must be approaching three figures.

I'm sure you'll be howling with lols at the brutally realistic depictions of rape and child murder ๐Ÿ˜•

It's a great film, by the way but I have no idea why it's mentioned here. It was a clever bit of satire in 1993, but considering the kind of voyeuristic reality tv, violent newsporn world we live in today it seems even more apt today. Maybe it's lost some of it's shock value, hence people finding it funny?
