Hey, sorry for the meta post! Please please delete this post if this doesn’t fit here.

I love this sub but there’s been a few movies where I love the cover and the movie isn’t very popular (these day?) but I don’t post it because it’s a once popular film.

Some examples are like

They Live (carpenter)

Mars Attacks

In the Mouth of Madness

I love all of those but fear they’re too well known or had too big of a budget to be B movies.

Like I love the activity on this sub but don’t want to accidentally co opt it into just being movies I love haha

I did actually know about the B side of a record! It just never translated to movies.

Double features were much less of a thing when I was a kid, so the concept of a “B side” movie never occurred to me! They just played them on TV when I was little so I assumed they were just not as good.

I’m kinda like… How did I not know? How did I not know until last year that “footage” referred to how many feet of film you shot? Haha I even grew up when they shot movies on film and it still never translated.

I'm 52 and double features weren't a thing for me either.
