...done by the same guy that did League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yikes.

Too bad, too, because the reason the original was great was for one reason: Ray Harryhausen. That was his last F/X project, and the stop-motion effects still look great, IMHO - though slighly dated.

Oh, and anther great cult classic: F/X.

Midnight Run, Office Space, Elf, Borat, lots of Mel Brooks movies, lots of the Zucker Abrams movies.

I'm not sure how to feel about this! It would be odd seeing it with all the new CG. I love the old claymation type stuff in it.

I love me some mythology though!

Yeah, if they kept Medusa and the Krakken looking the same, I'd be very interested in see this one. Of course they'd probably get someone like Ryan Phillipe to play Perseus.:thumbdown

Others I forgot I own that may (read: may) qualify as either "B" or "cult" films:

Saints and Soldiers
Serenity
Glengarry Glen Ross

Really? I guess I can see that, but I felt that Snatch was far far more refined film than Lock, Stock.

Re: Your favorite "B" or cult films

To movies not previously mentioned I'll add Sexy Beast and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

edit: add Heathers to that.

Great movie. Watched in about a billion times back at university. F/X II actually wasn't a bad movie either, but the first one is definatley a cult classic.

I'll toss Beastmaster onto the list.

Re: Your favorite "B" or cult films

Night Of The Living Dead

Roger Corman films....

Little Shop Of Horrors
The Raven
Tales of Terror
The Pit and The Pendulum

As big a western fan that I am, I was never a fan of the western B movies from the 30s/40s. Too cheesy for me.

I loved such older B classic movies/series, such as the Bowery Boys and Ma and Pa Kettle.

But I really enjoy the 1950's science fiction and monster B movies....

The Incredible Shrinking Man (one of my favorites)
I Was A Teenage Werewolf (w/ Michael Langdon)
Creature From The Black Lagoon
Gorgo
The Amazing Colossal Man
Earth vs The Flying Saucers

But one of the best was The Day The Earth Stood Still



I also enjoyed Jason And The Argonauts and the Sinbad series of movies.

Re: Your favorite "B" or cult films

Withnail and I is my favorite movie ever (besides Almost Famous, decidedly not a cult movie). I think it has a pretty big cult surrounding it, especially in Great Britain. Harold and Maude is another one I love that I think is considered "cult".

Re: Your favorite "B" or cult films

One of the most memorable ones I've seen, although not a favorite is Doom Generation. A couple of scenes in that still haunt me to this day.
