I know a lot of people wonder where the movies I review come from. What? No one wonders that? Well too damn bad...I'm going to tell you anyway. Bad movies aren't hard to find. I usually find mine in large and cheap multi-packs of movies. You know...like 50 movies for 15 bucks. Hell I just bought a 16 movie pack for $2.50. Normally these things are full of stink burgers that would be perfect for review on this blog. However, not every movie will work. They have to have a certain feel, but I'll get to that in a moment.
The second place I find these movies, usually in single of double feature packs are at dollar stores and similar low budget general stories (Big Lots, Dollar Junction, Dollar General, etc.) Also, Wal-Mart use to have a $1 movie section usually near the checkout. That was a good place to look as well, but they have recently gotten rid of those at my local wally worlds.
Now, as I said above not all movies you get will work for something like this blog. There has to be a certain silly or outrageous nature about a movie for it to be really good for something like this. Something like a strange plot, funny visuals, a funny looking monster, just something strange. A lot times you get a movie that isn't really bad, but just so old that people have forgot about it and it has lapsed into public domain. Then there is also the odd movie that was bad, but not for the right reasons. You sometimes get a gore and nuddy fest, with no plot and bad acting. It's bad, but not in that silly "Can you believe someone actually made this?" kind of way.
So really it's like 1 out of every 15 movies I watch is a winner. For every "Star Odyssey" there are 14 "Werewolf Woman"s in there. I also have the self imposed limitation of not doing any movie that was riffed in Mystery Science Theater 3000, Film Crew, Riff Trax, or Cinematic Titanic. That cuts out more movies then you'd think.
Anyway, below I've composed a list of all the movies that I consider in the B-Movie Vault (I.E. Could be reviewed on this blog). Although like I said not all will work, and some have already been riffed. Anyway, here is the list:
Red=Riffed by Mystery Science Theater 3000
Blue=Riffed by Film Crew
Green=Riffed by Riff Trax
Yellow=Riffed by Cinematic Titanic

Well there you have it. Now this list may grow as I find more movies...and will shrink as I watch them and figure out if they are good for review or not. But really I just wanted to brag about how big my collection. Yeah...pretty big right? Anyway...till next time, see you on the front line.
