A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Didn't realize there was an original. Everyone kept saying The Crazies is a great movie but I tried watching it multiple times and would just get bored (the newer one). I'll have to give this one a go!
I feel that way admit the The Thing remake/prequel. I see it on a streaming service and watch it, but it does not compare to the original in my opinion.
It’s not a bad movie, but John Carpenters The Thing is exceptional.
Same with the Poltergeist remake. I’ve never actually seen the original, but the remake is just an okay film.
Obligatory 'Carpenter’s Thing is a remake as well'
The original movie was made in the fifties.
TIL
Doesn’t change the fact that Carpenter’s version is one of the best movies of all time imho.
Yet the old one is interesting as well. It’s not as engaging as the newer ones and the monster is a little lacking, but the dialogue is neat and unusual and there’s a crazy fire stunt.
Yeah, and Holy Cats! it is terrible. Well, that may be a bit strong, but it has nothing on Carpenter's remake.
