Will be knocking out a ton of spaghetti westerns if all goes well. Along with some other stuff from various boxsets

I'm thinking I'll revisit some movies that I haven't seen in a while this time around. Looking at my shelves, I see a bunch of DVDs I've only watched once that I'd like to watch again. I'll maybe shoot for about 80% FTVs.

I've seen people on here mentioning Full Moon sets. Does that mean the Puppet Master movies count? I have the Puppet Master colelction from Full Moon.

They definitely count. We're talking movies that would never get an Oscar: low-budget horror, martial arts, crime films, biker films, sexploitation flicks, movies with "Hercules" in the title, movies that you would have seen at a drive-in, or at a theater on 42nd St. back when New York was really nasty.

Can't wait! Between all the BCI Drive-In sets, Mill Creek sets, Andy Sidaris and Russ Meyer collections, Midnite Movies, Pinky Violence ...you name it, many of which remain unopened, well, I'm set.

Yeah, rules and safe lists will be the same. If anyone has any new ideas they are welcome to mention them. The first few posts will be updated soon.

I'm starting with Peplum since I picked up that MC "Warriors" 50 film set at WM last year while purchasing a couple of horror ones. I've been holding it for this!

Planning to buy a couple old Gamera movies and one of the Mill Creek sets for this challenge when I get paid in March. Maybe go for one of the sci fi sets.

Wal-Mart has some of the 50 movie Mill Creek sets for around $10 right now.

Just ordered the one of the MC Monster Movie packs from Amazon and got to thinking while I was going through my DVD collection and making my list of movies for the drive in challenge. Is it just me or do a lot of horror movies seem to be eligible for this challenge? I know a lot of my horror movies fall under the critical bomb safe list.

Just realized while looking through my DVDs to make my list of what to watch for this challenge that this would be the perfect chance for me to rewatch my Pendulum Collection, wouldn't it? A 2 disc set of definitely low budget horror. Haven't watched them since I got them in fact.

I probably don't make enough use of the critical-bomb category, but I do still have Jonah Hex sitting on my shelf

If you're going to count a film just because it played at a drive-in somewhere, you'll be able to include most anything. Lots of big-time studio films played second runs in drive-ins. I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) in a drive-in.

i know im guilty on relying on horror in the past 2 challenges bc my collection steer toward that. last year i ordered a bunch of stuff but didnt receive it until after the challenge so gonna try and focus on more genres that i normally dont touch besides always a good reason to watch some russ myers

I have a bunch of Code Red titles coming in the mail, since I've seen they have some distribution issues. I figure I'll do some of those at night along with Mill Creek stuff.

"Drive-in" is more the vibe. If you see a current movie at a Drive-in, that counts, though.
There's tons of cruddy Horror that qualifies, but I prefer to keep to the stuff that doesn't fit in the Horror Challenge, like Kung Fu and Blaxploitation.

Just finished making my list for the drive in/B movie challenge. Got over 100 titles lined up, including 20 from a 20 movie pack of monster movies from one of the Mill Creek sets that just arrived in the mail yesterday. Made my list and put it through random.org. Looks like I'll be starting with The Wasp Woman. Anyone else have any idea what they will be starting with yet?

Actually, think I will start with The Ape, as IMDB qualifies it as an Action film as well, so I can get double credit on the Action/Adventure/Crime Challenge.

Just finished watching Star Trek Generations for the first time for the Time Travel Challenge and Action/Adventure Challenge and got to thinking, would that qualify for this challenge under bad sequel to a great franchise?
