Deciding if something’s a b-movie or not is a minefield, isn’t it? I’m not sure if I can get away with saying Tremors is one or not. It definitely is in spirit, and it’s a homage to classic monster movies, so you know what, I’m claiming it. Just a completely lovable film.
Other ones I like:
Miracle Mile - him out of ER picks up a pay phone call intended for someone else and learns that a Russian nuclear strike has been launched on LA. He tries to find his girlfriend and get out before the missiles hit.
Night Of The Comet - Earth passes through the tail of a comet and loads of people get zombified
The Navigator - it’s medieval Cumbria and the Black Death is rampant. A kid in a mining village starts having visions of how to protect the village and so a crew of villagers follows them and dig a huge tunnel, to emerge in 20th century Auckland where they try to cast a decoration for the top of a cathedral spire to avert the plague. Amazing movie, maybe more art house than b-movie since it’s beautifully shot and has a wonderful poetic vision, but it cost no money and no ones ever heard of it, so here we are.
Trancers - brilliant 80s time travel movie
