I'd like to put in a good word for Warbirds.
I'm a big fan of B SciFy movies, especially the ones made in the 50s and 60s.
Warbirds is definitely in that category although it aired in 2009.
If I had to man a B-29, I would have been proud to be with that crew, especially the pilot Jamie Mann. 
Plot
In the midst of World War 2, a OSS officer leads a group of female pilots on a mission to deliver a secret weapon, only to crash land on an island in the Pacific after an encounter with a deadly storm. On the island, they must not only contend with a small band of Japanese soldiers but the native inhabitants of the island as well – vicious prehistoric Pterodons.

As far as sequels go Tremors 2 "AfterShocks" and Tremors 4 "The Legend Begins" are first rate IMHO at least. I have enjoyed both multiple times.
Helen Shaver was my favorite cast member of "AfterShocks", probably because she reminds a lot of my dear wife.
IMHO, Billy Drago stole every scene he was in as the gun fighter in "The Legend Begins". Never knew he had it in him to play comedy so well. I have followed Tremors since I was a kid. A fun movie to watch on a Saturday night. Highly recommend "Evolution". Orlando Jones is hilarious. Highly recommend "Evolution". Orlando Jones is hilarious. is one my favorite B-movie homages. It's one of the underrated comedies before 9/11. Coincidentally, it has the same setting (desert town), premise (alien invasion/hostile lifeforms) and humor with Eight Legged Freaks which was released a year later. Lastly, it was one big commercial for Head N Shoulders. |

Speaking of WWII B-movies, I have seen a couple including SS Doomtrooper (2005) and Reign of the Gargoyles (2007). The latter one I mentioned is actually a good one. Will be doing reviews of this soon. |

Reign of the Gargoyles (2007) Vorthon, König der Gargoyles 2007 ganzer Film auf DeutschA B-movie set in World War II where the fight between Allies vs Axis continues and gargoyles are thrown into the mix. I remember seeing this somewhere in the summer of 2008 at the Cinemax Channel. For a TV B-movie, this was actually pretty entertaining and enjoyable. Unfortunately the only English version is on the official SyFy website which one has to pay in order to watch. Not to be confused with Rise of the Gargoyles, a B-movie about a gargoyle invasion set in modern times. External Links:Reign of the Gargoyles on Wikipedia Reign of the Gargoyles on IMDB

They really did earn that passing grade. |

I'm also gonna include family TV movies in this thread such as the ones seen in Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. This thread is not only limited to B-movies but also Direct-to-TV movies and obscure films as well.

SS Doomtrooper (2006) S S Doomtrooper 2006SS Doomtrooper - So Bad It's GoodI saw this movie around February 2015 on the Cinemax Channel. It gave off Wolfenstein vibes. Others have joked about it being Wolfenstein from Wish, due to the cheap special effects and cheesy acting. It's your typical SyFy movie with so much CGI and filmed in Bulgaria. External Links:

This is a direct-to-TV Dolph Longdren movie I watched with my dad when I was in college and it was pretty enjoyable.
