A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

B Movie Bonanza @lemmy.world klu9 @lemmy.ca Inferno (1999)
a.k.a. Desert Heat
Suicidal vet heads into the desert to find old army buddy before topping himself, runs into douchebag local criminals who upset his plans... and he theirs.
Supposedly inspired by the Kurosawa classic Yojimbo (and even makes an on-the-nose reference to it in the epilogue) but character-wise and intrigue-wise, not a patch on the original, or even remakes like A Fistful of Dollars or Last Man Standing.
