Lu (Sugar & Snark) wrote: "I think that is a brilliant idea Chriz! I'm going to do it too :)"That is great, Lu! I would love to compare movies and ratings :)
Having loads of fun watching some B-rated horror movies the last few days :)
Mod
Examples of B and not so B rated:
Jurassic Park
Jaws
Lake Placid
Piranah's
Anaconda's
etc.
I can watch these over and over
I have seen all of them, Lu, except for Piranah - can't seem to recall that one.The movie I watched today is called THE BREED and is about killer dogs . . . VERY B-rated :)
Mod
I also like natural disasters and volcano's :)
Oh disaster movies (its the end of the world!) are my absolute favourites. A close second is these "cam" type movies that was popular not long ago. You know, the ones where a few people are making a movie in an asylm and then gets killed one by one. It is always from "their footage". And based on a true story :)
