Top 5 Reasons Why 'B' Sci-Fi Movies Rock!

First off let me say that the definition of a B Movie is... A B Movie is a movie that has been categorized as being a, 'bad' movie for some reason... Well I would say that, that has changed over the past few decades, what with the revolution of great classic cult films coming out of what the mainstream would consider to be a, 'Bad' Movie! And since I am a huge fan of the B Movie craze in any genre, I have taken it upon myself to do what I can to help bring these classic, 'B' Science Fiction or Horror movies to light, and give them the chance that they never got when they were initially released

With that in mind I thought I would give you guys, what i believe is the top 5 reasons why, 'B' Sci-Fi movies rock!

Number 5: Campy Special Effects!

Not always (as I feel was the case with the movie, Battle Beyond The Stars (1980),) A lot of the times B Science Fiction movies are fairly low budget and so generally tend to have some pretty campy special effects!

Number 4: Ridiculous scripts!

That's right folks... Now again this isn't all the time, but a lot of the times the script for these B Movies are pretty ridiculous, with lines for the cast that are pretty hilariously bad, and with names for people, places, and planets that are pretty Elementary school!

Number 3: Oddly bad talent!

Again, this isn't always the truth, but more often then not Science Fiction B Movies will have a couple of eventually, or at the time, big name talent that kind of make up the movie, and then their are people that you have to wonder if they are really just not good at acting or if it was intentional considering the subject matter!

Now at this point I want you to ask yourself this question... Why is a guy who obviously likes B Science Fiction Films attacking them... And these next two reasons will give you your answer!

Number 2: True talent discovered from these movies!

That's right folks, a lot of the big name talent of the last 30 years or so go their start in Campy B Movies, and look at where they are now!

Number 1: All of what I said above is just part of the charm!

What I mean by this, is that all of the bad elements and good elements that I mentioned above are, as well as so much more, are what makes up these truly awesome, 'B' Science Fiction Movies, and if you didn't have the majority or all of what makes a B Science Fiction movie so great in the B Movie you were watching, then the chances are that you are going to find that you have crap!

In the end, you might give them a try, I did, and I am happy to have done so!
