What is a BMovie? Is it defined by budget, or by aesthetic, or a combination of the two? What are the notable examples of BMovies? Are there any non-SF BMovies? Hmm. Got to be either from the 1950s (when the classification 'B' was in regular use) or a send-up thereof, for a start. How is anyone on cinematic history? 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' was produced as a BMovie, although it's a very unusual member of the species. Does Michael Jackson's music video 'Thriller' count? --TL Hm... possibly only as proof of insanity. Perhaps a parallel phenomenon now is the 'b-film' on those 'two films on one tape' VHS releases being pumped out- presumably proliferating due to the rise of the shiny DVDs of terror? No? Oh well. -- WJR
