B Movie as an industrial term is fine but I think The Wicker Man represents something different to most of the films/genres you mention there. It has a simliar place in film history to films like Picnic at Hanging Rock, A Boy and his Dog, Jacobs Ladder. Films that seem to have come from nowhere. In the UK in the 80s, we had this weekly TV slot called Moviedrome, which was how I 1st saw the Wicker Man and other films in that 'where-the-fuck-did-this-come-from?' vein, like Johnny Guitar, Brazil, Detour, Repo Man. Some were b movies, some were indie, others were a-list mainstream, but they all shared an originality and an oddness.

Duel is amazing. Few movies had a larger impact on young me than that. It made me appreciate the quiet horror of the real world. Great Fucking movie.

(Hope we're talking about the same Duel.)

Sam Fuller for sure

Also stuff like Kiss Me Deadly, the Django films. A lot of the kind of stuff Tarantino hypes.

Detour is another one of those almost indescribable films. So I won't try.

And Piranha! Yeah! Of the remakes, stick to DD, with David Hasselhoff. The 1st remake is OK but gets a bit boring in the middle. DD is just pure fun. (you were talking about the remakes right?) The original is great but for pure entertainment value, DD is better.

DD with the big tits in the cover? that i can get.

i was looking for the original corman production though, post-jaws. not on netflix dvd, not on amazon stream, and not at the library-- maybe it's on netflix online but i don't have that right now.

btw i decided to inaugurate halloween movie season with wicker man, which should get here soon-- not sure what edition (1999?). lining up other stuff like exorcist and the omen, which i haven't seen in ages, but also stuff i missed like little shop of horrors (corman version) or the bad seed (50s) or pride and prejudice and zombies (newish). please recommend any movie or tv shows i should add to this. doesn't need to be bone-chilling horror, horror comedy works too obviously.

I like the more lighthearted stuff at Halloween. Nothing too heavy or scary. Maybe something iconic like Bride of Frankenstein.

Re Piranha. Yeah, I kind of prefer the remakes, at least the 2nd one, DD. It's absolute rubbish on just about every level but it's a film I always find myself putting on.

yeah, horror movies are your thing which is why i can see you switching to the funny stuff for halloween.

i'm the other way around-- i generally avoid them because they disturb me, but this is the time of the year i dedicate to macerate my brain in death, darkness, ultraviolence, and discomfort. that includes basic gore like catching up with the walking dead, true detective, house of cards, etc. i "save them" for october.

Don't even get me going on True Detective season one. Goddamn masterful. Had it been a feature film, it would have won every Oscar. It's a work of art. Great take on Southern Gothic. Simply put, it's one of the best things that's ever been on television. Goddamn but that was great.

Season two was criminally underrated. It too was quite compelling, but it was just not possible to follow season one.

i just watched Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones.. it was like a late 80s throwback, and otherwise entertaining flick that didn't try to hard to be innovative or clever and just put out an ok movie

Aw, what?! What the hell? Are you on Thorazine? I strongly disagree with you on this one. Maybe the second season qualifies as "over-acted" at times, but the first season is pure gold. It makes Silence of the Lambs seem like an actual film about silent lambs. I was still on the anti-Mcconaughey bandwagon until I watched it. I'd hated the guy for 15 years or more, even though he'd dished out increasingly good performances in recent films by that point. But Jesus, one episode in and I was a changed man.

Game of Thrones can just fuck off and die. Nothing in the whole series approaches the greatness of the first episode of TD. That's where I stand.

wait-what? i just realized this after severian answered

i haven't seen 2nd season pls no spoilers

1st season was great though--mcconna..something and woody harrelson

"time is a flat circle..." ha ha ha ha

**********SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS





the only thing that REALLY BOTHERED ME is that they catch "the bad man" (ooooo) but not the powers behind him. that's like-- wuuuuuuttt?? pointless





****************END SPOILERS




not yet "terror" but with the election season i'm getting the most recent frank underwood on bluray. season 3 went to shit a little, but i'm still faithful mostly because lester, what's his name, kevin spacey, is great

True Detective, 1st season was very good gothic horror. The second season, I liked a lot, but my wife did n ot. she found it TOO bleak. I thought it was a cool season. Enjoyed it much more than the critics who seemed to wish that Macconoughhay was back so they could slobber over him again....

This is literally the only thing I remember from this film. It's funny. You nailed it. Couldn't event tell you what the thing's about, but this image is seared into my memory.

There was a similar moment in that godawful Get Smart re-make with Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway, where the soon-to-be Catwoman's rump makes a very similar move, though in a split ballroom gown. Hah. Yowza. I'll have to find that.
