I need a thread to share my love of terrible films, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here. So let's do this Finally caught this gem yeaterday  Does the idea of Nazis hiding under Antarctica and harvesting the bodies of innocent researchers to stay alive and bring Hitler back to life in the form of a robot sound like a good time? Then I suggest this film to you.

"Terribly awesome" and B-Movie are relative terms, so it could count for you, but I think its production budget puts it out of scope of the B-Movie realm. I can't wait for its release here though.
Have you had the chance to see it? They sure have done a top-notch marketing campaign for that

The Hoff was the only good thing about 3DD. On a completely different note Monster Brawl is another great cinematic piece of gold everyone should see. Seriously, all the "greatest" monsters from films fight to the death in a graveyard, and who's the ring-side announcer? Noneother than Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart

Definitely gonna have to check that one out.
I see that John Carpenter's "They Live" is about to come out on Blu-ray. Such a shitty movie, but I love it.

They Live is a brilliant film about social stratification and the elite poisoning the world and feeding off the working man, in this case played by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
I was reorganizing my DVDs and was reminded of how awesome my taste in movies is. Soon I'll rewatch C.H.U.D. and Society, then perhaps Castle Freak.

Yup, They Live is the one with the big 10-minute brawl over putting on a pair of sunglasses.
They Live is one of those rare movies that I think actually should be remade. It has a pretty smart central idea, but as a movie it's pretty horrible. Bad acting, bad effects, bad pacing, etc.
I say this as someone who LOVES the movie.
On something completely different, this thread really makes me want to watch Night of the Creeps.

As much as I love CHUD, the most terribly awesome b-movie of all time is and will always be Dead Alive.  Please, please watch it!

Haha, my wife still brings up how much she hated Dead Alive after I made her watch it with me. 10 years ago.
It was the international cut too, which is like a solid 15-20 longer than the US version. Bought a bootleg VHS at a comic book convention back in the day when stuff like that still happened.

I wouldn't even call Dead Alive a B movie. Just compare it to Meet the Feebles or Bad Taste, some of Peter Jackson's other early movies.
