Hey, sorry for the meta post! Please please delete this post if this doesn’t fit here.

I love this sub but there’s been a few movies where I love the cover and the movie isn’t very popular (these day?) but I don’t post it because it’s a once popular film.

Some examples are like

They Live (carpenter)

Mars Attacks

In the Mouth of Madness

I love all of those but fear they’re too well known or had too big of a budget to be B movies.

Like I love the activity on this sub but don’t want to accidentally co opt it into just being movies I love haha

I think a lot of contemporary B-movies go direct to streaming (or previously, direct to DVD).

For example Steven Seagal's most recent movies: nobody expects them to be any good, but the producers hope that he still has enough fans that they make a profit.

Then there are independent films that know they're not A-list and work with it, like Space Wars: Quest for the Deepstar.
