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’ve asked three other people close to my age (they’re between 41 and 44) and none of them knew.
This is fascinating, I don’t know how this information got lost within ten years! Lol
What’s weird too is that I live where there were a lot of drive-ins so you’d kind of assume there would be more double features but maybe not
