A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

There is a universe where Krull became a huge franchise and Star Wars was the derivative B movie.
Star Wars was a derivative B movie, but they accidentally had a really good editor.
Was this really a B movie? IIRC, it had a wide theatrical release and even its own game on Atari. And while cheesey, the effects were pretty much up to the standard of their time.
I still love this movie. Several brutal death scenes (e.g. getting crushed to death), and one of the most bad ass weapons ever (even if it was only actually used for a few minutes). Amazing musical score, too.
The Glaive really should have become every bit as iconic as lightsabers and bat'leths.
It's a fun movie, and the musical score is kind of impressive in one very specific way. Do you like musical flourishes? They put flourishes in your flourishes so that you can flourish while you flourish. Er... The score is very unusual, which makes it kind of fun.
