Hey, sorry for the meta post! Please please delete this post if this doesn’t fit here.

I love this sub but there’s been a few movies where I love the cover and the movie isn’t very popular (these day?) but I don’t post it because it’s a once popular film.

Some examples are like

They Live (carpenter)

Mars Attacks

In the Mouth of Madness

I love all of those but fear they’re too well known or had too big of a budget to be B movies.

Like I love the activity on this sub but don’t want to accidentally co opt it into just being movies I love haha

    Mars Attacks was a big enough Hollywood production, I don’t think it’s a B-movie at all. It’s a cult classic, and it intentionally uses B-movie aesthetics for comedic purposes, but it’s not a B-movie.

    And John Carpenter is such a skilled auteur that even his low-budget classics are considered top-shelf movie magic. Not B-movies at all. They’re A-movies that shaped the horror genre.
