Cinema Blog Open Post #1: Grindhouse Deluxe!

[jetpack_monkey]

In honor of Grindhouse opening today, I declare this post open to talking about your very favorite bad/cult/weird movies of all time. I'm not talking big-budget studio product, I'm talking low-budget independent trash, here (think Sci-Fi Channel Movie of the Week for a modern antecedent).

Some of my favorite low-budget bad/cult/weird films of all time (limiting myself to one per director):

Asylum of Satan
Basket Case
The Beyond
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Blood for Dracula (AKA Andy Warhol's Dracula)
Blood Freak
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
Dawn of the Dead '78
The Diabolical Dr. Z
The Howling
It's Alive
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Re-Animator
The Road Warrior
Sleepaway Camp
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
The Toxic Avenger

What are some of your favorites?

I have a bad feeling that the Mormon-funded version of Pride and Prejudice is not what you have in mind.

Not so much. I'm talkin' sex, violence, and bad taste. Two out of three required, with an emphasis on bad taste.

Well, we've got Bad Taste aplenty... and did you see Lydia. She's a scrappy bitch.

Otherwise, my vote goes to Bad Taste. And Return of the Living Dead.

Errr.. that was me.
