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.

Wizards
American Pop
LoTR
Coonskin
...are all B movie level
Cool World and A Scanner Darkly were Hollywood productions with money behind them. old school rotoscopy looked better anyway [Reply]
How many minutes of bullshit 'animated' still pictures did you have to sift through to find the several seconds of 'animation' in Wizards? Fuck that movie and fuck the guy who made it. Cheap ass motherfucker. [Reply]

of course it is cheap. it had a budget of $1.2M [Reply]
Donnie Darko I searched and didn't see this title listed. A 2001 release with a budget of $4.5 million with an unknown Jake Gyllenhaal as the star. It had no promotion but I caught it on HBO a year or so later. Between reruns on TV and my DVD, I've seen it 30 times. It's just something about it that I like and it's a cult hit.
Napolean Dynamite Almost the same could be said for this movie, but the budget was only $400,000 and the actors were even less known than Gyllenhaal. Another movie that didn't do well at the theaters but caught on later with HBO and the like. I had the "Vote for Pedro" t-shirts at one time, seen it at least 30 times.
