I have seen most films worth watching so now I have resorted to watching sci fi/horror b-movies. This afternoon I watched the 1988 movie "Killer Klowns From Outerspace". Although the VFX were bad even for the time, the characters were horrible, acting was poor & the movie was riddled with cliches, it was so bad it was good! I actually enjoyed it. I think that is the difference between films like this & shit like SGU - SGU is so bad it's bad.

So I ask if anybody else knows of any entertaining b-movie titles?

David Hewlett did Boa vs Python - worth it just to see how bad an actress the lead female is.

Total garbage but somehow funny as fuck with some big name actors. Great stuff.

edit - Ice Station Zebra. You really have to wonder what Howard Hughes was fascinated with.

We are actually living in B-movie times

British scientist warns we must protect the vulnerable from robots

Top robotics expert Professor Noel Sharkey, of the University of Sheffield, has called for international guidelines to be set for the ethical and safe application of robots before it is too late. Professor Sharkey, writing in the prestigious Science journal, believes that as the use of robots increases, decisions about their application will be left to the military, industry and busy parents instead of international legislative bodies.

I watched Dinocroc versus Supergator last night and as the title suggests it is crap but funny with it. It is showing again tonight at 01.00 on syfy+1. There are some scantily clad ladies in it but alas no nudity per se. If bomb proof lizards is B movie enough for you then give it a try.

I like the one about he 50ft woman.
Would love to get my hands on those nipples.

Furthermore if you're looking for bad movies I must suggest "2012 Supernova" which is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen by far. After having seen it I felt the urge to spend weeks bashing it on the internet on any torrent I could find and IMDB as well I believe. Reading the comments people leave about that movie is actually a lot of fun. You might compare this movie to SGU regarding how much it sucks. You should go see it just so you can be sure where your boundaries for bad movies actually lie and so you can compare other bad movies to it making them look favorable.

Bashing it on the internet you say? Funny comments left by others you say? Sounds like me after I watched Alien Vs Hunter by The Asylum & immediately went online to read amusing negative reviews. Now, that film is so bad it's bad & I'll never get that hour & a half back but hearing other people slate it was fun.

If you don't mind earth based sci-fi, I recommend "The lost room", a 3 episodes tv series that fits somewhere between b-movies and a-movies.

I think I've seen most of those more than once! SyFy runs B-movies on Sat alot!

I think any 'horror' movie with a monster that has such tough skin/hide that nothing the military throws at it will even phase it is beyond B!!

I liked Mansquito, Corin Nemec did a pretty good job in it and it wasn't too cheesy. If you like B-movies like I do youll probably enjoy it

Supernova (2000) Has James spader and Angella Bassett. The storyline is crap but the graphics are amazing. Worth a once-over.

Though, to be honest, I think it may have been more DD grade rather than B grade :D
