"B" Movies that are "A" movies

[El Dingo]

OK - I was toying with the idea of a 'top 100 B-Movie' list.

Great movies that dropped through the cracks and need to be shoved down the throats of today's teenagers:

Westworld
Death Race 2000
Barbarella
Phantom of the Paradise
Wizards
The In-Laws
The Warriors (sort of got a reboot a few years ago with a video game and remastered DVD)
Don't be Afraid of the Dark
Willard
Dark Star
Zardoz
It's Alive
The Odessa File
Demon Seed
The Legacy
The Changeling
The Other
Being There

...but then I realized the list goes on forever.

The weird thing is, when I go to Target, the t-shirts are designed with Pink Floyd, Frankenberry, Space Invaders and Steve Martin (King Tut). It's like American society conceded that the best pop culture came from the 70's. It's not just MY lawn anymore, it's EVERYONE'S lawn and they can run all over it if they want to.

Someone needs to write a story about teenagers that were born in 1988 but only have memories of growing up in 1978. New Kids on the Block? Who was that? I listened to Led Zeppelin my whole life.
