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

  • It’s a low-budget commercial film. The name comes from the fact they used to be exclusively shown as the second half on a double feature with the first half being the “A” movie, similar to how records had A sides and B sides.

      This is very cool, I did not have any idea that’s where the term B movie came from! Thanks for sharing
