1. "Night of the Creeps" - This one is pure schlock, but it meshes horror, sci-fi, and drive-in flicks into one tasty little morsel. Very enjoyable. Listen to character names, as almost everyone is named after a horror movie director. Also, there are some awesome homages to old horror film camera shots if you're into that sort of thing. Director Fred Dekker would go on to make "The Monster Squad," so kudos to him.
2. "Slither" - In a lot of ways this film is very similar to "Night of the Creeps," what with the slimy alien things that turn you into zombies, but this one has Nathan Fillion, a weird, slimy, bloody orgy, and an orca-fat pregnant woman exploding. So there.
3. "Escape From New York" - There was a period of time where John Carpenter could do no wrong. A time when having Kurt Russell in a John Carpenter film meant absolute magic. Unfortunately that time is over now, but this one kicks ass. It's got Issac Hayes in it for God's sake, before he went all nutty over scientology. If you haven't seen this movie in a while, go back and watch it again. It will almost make up for "Escape From L.A."
4. "Cabin Fever" - Probably the most fun experience i've ever had in a movie theater. The crowd reaction to the shaving scene alone paid for admission. This movie is fucking gross, and i think i have probably made every one of my friends watch it.
5. "Evil Dead 2" - Quite possibly one of the greatest movies of all time. Bruce Campbell is the shit.
(I realize that most of my B-Movie favs are horror films, but that's my thing man.)
