"Once the B movie was the Hollywood stepchild, the underbelly of the double feature. Today it is a more inclusive category, embracing films that fall outside the mainstream by dint of their budgets, their visions, their grit, and occasionally - sometimes essentially - their lack of what the culture cops call "good taste."" Featuring the choicest noir, neo-noir, science fiction, horror, western, midnight movies, and more - from critics like David Ansen, Jami Bernard, Roger Ebert, Carrie Rickey, Richard Schickel, and Kenneth Turan - the films in The B List are offbeat, unpredictable, and decidedly idiosyncratic.
