One of my all time favourite movies. Was this really a B Movie? It feels like it had a big production value.

John Carpenter is not a B-lister.

To be a stickler, BTILC is maybe considered culturally a B-movie today that the term has lost its meaning, but the budget and marketing was a typical A-lister back in the day. It was the headliner in theatres worldwide. I remember it showing in the main salon in cinema multiplexes here in Sweden. That simply didn't happen with American B-movies at the time unless it was something truly spectacular.

Yep. The A/B/C/Z refers to the budget of the production. A B-movie had lower budget and lower priority from the studio. They were fillers or jokers or opportunities for up and coming directors and actors and crew to prove themselves for future A-budget productions.

A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. 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?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.
