I am in a B-movie mood, and am looking for any recommendations you guys/gals may have to throw my way. I already own:

-Evil Dead
-Evil Dead II
-Army of Darkness
-Bubba Ho-Tep
-Bloodsucking Freaks!
-Enter...Zombie King
-Cabin Fever
-Dead & Breakfast (not sure if this is classified as a B-movie)
-House of 1,000 Corpses (same as above)
-Equinox

Anyways, recommend away!

Altered
Dagon
Dead Alive
Dead Next Door, The
Demons 1 (directed by Mario Bava)
Demons 2 (directed by Mario Bava)

trilogy:

How about the Basket Case movies? The first one is available anywhere and if you have region free, you can probably find a copy of 2+3 (it might be oop now).

You talkin' just 80's or earlier as in 50's, 60's, 70's ?

For the 80's these come to mind:

Silver Bullett
Graveyard Shift
Tales from the darkside The Movie
April Fool's Day

70's
Tentacles
Empire of the ants
The Boy Who Cried Werewolf

50's
Black Scorpion
Deadly Mantis
Them
Amazing Collosoal Man
War of the Collosal beast
Spider
Attack of the Giant Leeches
Gorgo
The Giant Behemoth
Konga
The Valley of Gwangi

and the list for this era is well...endless.

Beyond Re-Animator
Dagon is Awesome, my fav Stuart Gordon after Re-Animator (haven't seen From Beyond yet). Dead Alive isn't my cup of tea, but that's one wacky ass movie. Oh, those Demons movies are directed by Lamberto Bava, not Mario who was dead by the time they came out. To this list, my suggestions are:

Vampyres: Spanish Lesbian vampire film = awesome
Lady Terminator - Indonesian exploitation jewel
Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay - Sexploitation fantasy film - very
erotic and interesting.
Thriller: A Cruel Picture (They Call Her One Eye) - Artsploitation
revenge flick and my favorite.
Dead And Buried - Fun Horror Film
Deathdream - Excellent adaptation of The Monkey's Paw (by the late
Bob Clark - A Christmas Story)
The 36 Chambers of Shaolin - 1 of my 3 fav kung fu flicks
Drunken Master - 1 of my 3 fav kung fu flicks
Master of the Flying Guillotine - 1 of my 3 fav kung fu flicks
Sex and Fury - Pinky Violence (Asian exploitation) with Christina
Lindberg
Kiss Me Deadly - One of the greatest B film noirs ever
Gun Crazy - The same as above
Blue Sunshine - Wonderful 70s paranoid LSD thriller
Blood and Black Lace - My fav Mario Bava film - the first giallo
Suspiria - Absolutely essential Dario Argento gothic surreal horror
trip
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - You've seen this, right? If not,
run, don't walk to rent it.
Texas Chainsaw 2 (1986) - The awesomely funny black comedy
sequel
The Great Silence - Best Spaghetti Western (outside of the Leone's
which you should of already seen or you have to
see)
Wolf Creek - Great Texas Chainsawesque Aussie horror film - some
find it a slow start, I find it awesome.
The Cheerleaders - Hilariously cheesy sexploitation gem with some
gorgeous girls
The Big Doll House - My fav Pam Grier and WIP (Women In Prison)
flick
Rabid Dogs - Gritty Mario Bava kidnapping film
Inferno - More gothic Dario Argento
Stendhal Syndrome - Argento's best latter day film - a modern giallo
Phenomena - One of my other fav Argento's
Night Train Murders - Italian rip off of Wes Craven's Last House on
the Left - I like it better
Salon Kitty - Tinto Brass of Caligula directs Nazisploitation
The Toolbox Murders (1978) - Unbelievably cheesy horror film - the
first time I watched it I couldn't believe I'd bought this crap, but then
it took hold of me and I enjoyed the fantastic badness.
Lady Snowblood - Killer Female Samurai assassin film, 2nd film is
good too.
Silver Bullet - I second this - a childhood fav with the inimitable
Corey Haim
John Carpenter films, in particular, Assault On Precinct 13, Escape from New York, They Live, The Fog, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, In the Mouth of Madness and Halloween
Ms .45 - Killer Abel Ferrara revenge flick (see also Bad Lieutenant)
I Spit On Your Grave - Tough to watch rape/revenge flick - an
essential exploitation film

Films that aren't B (due to the talent involved), but are a bit exploitation-y:
Black Snake Moan - Fantastic
Snakes On A Plane - Get past your hang-ups, don't listen to the squares and enjoy this for what it is - A cheesy, super fun and stupid action flick
Domino - I love this movie!!!!!!!!
Road House - Patrick Swazye awesome super cheese - The pinnacle
of his essential cult movie period (this, Next of Kin, Point Break and Red Dawn)

and finally, though I'm sure there is more I am not remembering:

Anything by Sam Fuller, but especially:

Shock Corridor and Pickup on South Street.

I hope you can see some of these and will enjoy them. Cheers!
