Favorite 'B' or 'Straight to Video' Movie?

my fave was one with Kyle MacLachlin called "The Hidden"

It was about aliens that jump down your throat and made you steal Ferrari's.... classic!

"The Hidden" was pretty good, but surely the king of the "B" movie was "Tremors"?

That was a Claudia Christian movie. She played a stripper. I don't know who all those other people were in the movie.

Quite of few of Claudia's moves are B movies. I loves 'em all. Hexed is hysterical

Donnie Darko is a brilliantly creepy film that I cannot ever remember being in theatres.

One that was in theatres (at least it was in Canada), but I would probably consider a B film is Ginger Snaps. Best film I've seen come out of Canada. Wonderful take on the werewolf genre.

Donnie Darko was fantastic, so I definetly agree there. Another straight to video movie that really amazed me was the Boondock Saints. I dont know if that counts, the guy behind it had all those legal troubles with... what was it, paramount i think, but it was never in theatres. Great action scenes, great soundtrack, great flick.
