We have all experienced the disappointment. You rent a movie that a friend of a friend recommended or showed up on a list a favorite blogger of yours produced. You excitedly pop the popcorn, create your movie-watching habitat and press play. Slow going at first, but you figure it will pick up. Around the 30-minute mark you begin stealing glances at the run time to see how much you have left to sit through. At about 50 minutes, you begin wondering whether your time and already spent money would be better used watching the rest of this disaster or re-alphabetizing your books. You just fell for the bad movie.
While I have no answers on how to avoid the bad movie situation, I do have an excellent resource for so-bad-they're-good B movies. AMC recently started a website called BMC where you can watch free B movies online. Classics such as What a Carve Up, A Swingin' Summer, The Crawling Eye, and Saga of the Viking Woman - all can be found at BMC. They may have been the type of movie that I initially described, but by now they certainly fit into the latter category.
