So after a long day week of classes and getting some vitamin D in the sun, another nerdy film interest that rarely features the prestige of Marvel’s Avengers, the influence of The Lord of the Rings or the witty humor of Monty Python’s The Holy Grail.
No, instead the prime dialog comes from the audience, Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.
The films are far from the Oscar list of nominees, and this might be the only place these films are listed together as having something in common:
Plan 9 from Outer Space, Battlefield Earth, Zebraman 2, Kung Fu Hustle, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Chawz, The Lawnmower Man: Director’s Cut, Blade Trinity, or The Room.
These are the B movies. Films so bad they are good with many that achieve cult status and fan followings. And not just any bad movie can become good.
There have been those who have tried with comedies styled after B movies, but they tend to lack the charm that comes with the genuine heart that are put into these films, often with the belief they are excellent or will be excellent movies. And in their own way they are.
