An upcoming Roundtable subject will be “Classic B-Movies I Never Got Around to Seeing.” The thing is, films I HAVEN’T seen don’t just trip off my brain, or else I probably would have hunted them down. (I finally saw Barbarella a year ago–meh.) So give me a hand, here. Send me a list of what you consider to be essential B-Movies, everything from ’50s sci-fi to present day stuff. Cover a lot of thematic ground, please.
Rather than posting them as messages, please send me your lists at ken@jabootu.com. I’ll compile them and post them en masse later.
Remember, these should basically be a list of what you consider to be the essentials, of the sort that an admission of having so far given it a miss would draw a “I can’t believe you haven’t seen that!” sort of response. Most of them, of course, I will have seen.* Best case scenario, I find a famous B-movie I haven’t seen that’s bad enough I can do a long review of. Worse case, I just do a series of nuggets covering an array of films.
[*And yes, you could just send a list of the gore films I’ve given a miss over the years, like HG Lewis’ stuff. Give me more than that, though.]I know I have stuff on my DVD shelves that will cover the latter, but hell, you guys are as much a part of the site as I am. Let me know what I need to have seen.
