I am sofa bound and subsisting on mostly tea. Anyone one recommend me some pref 50’s and 60’s B movie spectaculars?

I like my low budget horror. Cat in the brain, cannibal holocaust that kind of thing. I recomend cat in the brain as a pinnacle of b-movie horror, a truely dreadful film.

Man With The X-ray Eyes was always a fave of mine

Plan 9 From Outer Space will set a new benchmark for you. Watch it here.

Not porn, the title is “somewhat” misleading.
Vampyros Lesbos:

dunno about terrible but i always thought that the following were all great old sci fi movies from the 50’s

forbidden planet
the thing
invasion of the body snatchers
war of the worlds
man with x ray eyes
invaders from mars
them

Or you could go for the modern pinnacle of the genre, Starship Troopers.

Not 50/60’s but Bad Taste and Brain Dead are worth a watch.

A plethora of out of copyright films on youtube. Enjoy.

Don’t watch Plan 9. My housemate bought it for a ‘so bad it’s good’ kind of laugh. Well really, it’s so bad it’s just sh*t. Got thorougly bored after 20 minutes.

Killdozer 🙂

Don’t watch Plan 9…

Perhaps he could just watch it and make his own mind up?

Can anyone recall the name of the 70s film with the big black car that goes round killing people in a small town

Perhaps he could just watch it and make his own mind up?

He could, but he won’t like it 🙂 It’s not known as the worst film ever made for nothing 🙂

There is also this:

hmm cant think of a black car but im sure there was, but christine was a cool film with a killer red car!

oh return of the living dead has elements of b movie, but falls under awesomely funny zombie movie imo

Cannibal Holocaust is a truly revolting film, and not simply because of it’s subject matter. Has no redeeming qualities; it’s just nasty.

A bit of schlock horror is ok, but there needs to be at least a smidgen of comedy.

Fred your right, I wanted to reccomend ‘cannibal terror’ not ‘holocaust’ which is indeed just nasty. Cannibal Terror is the badly dubbed awful film I ment. I blame my mishap on my man-flu. Sorry elfie.

I saw a really bad film when I was at uni, although I think it might have been 70s rather than earlier.

“It’s Alive” – about a killer mutant baby…

<edit> the film was 70s; I was at uni from 82-85</edit>

found it

House of a 1000 corpses

followed by

The Devil’s Rejects – which has a superb soundtrack to it.

Catflees; no it’s ok, I wasn’t having a go. Just expressing my opinion on a truly nasty film. It’s horrible on so many levels, that the actual ‘horror’ is insignificant. It’s the ideas behind it that are vile. Same goes for ‘I spit on your grave’. How anyone can call such trash ‘entertainment’ is beyond me.

I’m trying to remember the name of a recent Far Eastern (Korean possibly) B-movie, where a lizardy creature comes out of a river and eats people, and there’s a scene in a pit thing where it keeps it’s victims/food. Any clues?

Ah, found it:

Silly, but enjoyable. Quite good in some bits actually.

I know it’s not 50s or 60s, but I thought it might be an alternative.

Fiend Without A Face

Killer clowns from outer space has always been one of my favourites

What about some Hammer:
Tales from the Crypt
Dr Terrors House of Horror
The House that Dripped Blood
From Beyond the Grave.

The Host is actually quite decent.

Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill !

It’s a classic.

Early John Waters, Pink Flamingos etc.

Or some Troma stuff – Sergeant Kabukiman, Surf Nazis Must Die etc.

All brilliant terrible movies.

My all time favourite is ‘This island earth’

Truly awesome, especially the dude in the rubber suit.

Inception

Darkman

Piranha Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you….

Blood Beach

Truly shocking, and not in a good way….

Not a B-movie, but Ed Wood is worth a watch – it’s a film about famous B-movie director, er, Ed Wood. I think it’s a great film and funny.
