Last week, I asked you about your favorite “popcorn movies.” One reader, John Clark, wrote back letting me know that another name for this genre is “B-movies.” He wrote, “In the olden days, the B-movies, were part of double features … and were made as filler, cheap entertainment, etc. But what they also provided was a lower ‘cost’ of entry for young people to staff or form casts of future main features, and for older actors, sort of as sunset roles. The Studio System started to decline in the late '40s, and by 1960 it was gone. However the B-movie production process lived on in TV shows.” With that great tidbit of information, here were some of your favorite popcorn movies/B-movies: - John Clark mentioned that “The Sound of Music” was universally beloved by audiences, but did not get the same love from the critics.
- Connie Stauffer recently saw “The Intern” and loved it!
- Jack Graham said he loved the old western comedies "Support Your Local Sheriff'" and "Support Your Local Gunfighter"
- And while Brent James doesn’t think his favorite B-movie even got on the critics’ radar, he said he loved “Rustler’s Rhapsody.”
Brent also corrected me in saying that “National Treasure” wasn’t Nicolas Cage’s best movie, it was “Family Man,” which was great in a way that only a Nick Cage movie can be. But I’ll take that and raise Brent “Moonstruck” strictly because this scene is the work of a genius. I’m taking no questions at this time. Looking for something? Anything related to the 2023 legislative session will have a bee emoji next to it. 👉 🐝 Also on our minds: What Senate Pres.
