So I have had some time off this week to recover from some Illness/Injury. Needless to say I ran out of "Good" movies to watch in the first couple of days. I just watched Toxic Avenger for the first time and wow :-).
Looking for suggestions on some other B rated movies that are must watches, hopefully available on Amazon.
Without a doubt, my favorite is Body Double from 1984 directed by Brian DePalma. It's maybe a B+ movie since Depalma had just done Scarface the year before. However he also did Dressed to Kill and Blow Out, and this film is along the same lines as those two.
It starred two really unknown actors, but I'm sure most of you have seen Gregg Henry somewhere along the way, and Craig Wasson who I think went into mostly doing plays and at the time, an unknown Melanie Griffith. How many films have a music video right in the middle, and a song that was a big hit, it was Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I suspect that Starship Troopers has already been mentioned, though I don't know if it's great as a result of being terrible. But it's entertaining to watch it and point out the gaping flaws in the plot, characters, and story line. [Reply]
