Choose Your Own B-Fest
Distraught that you couldn’t make it to B-Fest this year? Here’s a balm for your soul: a reasonably complete listing of films from previous B-Fest lineups that are available on Netflix Instant. (I had to cheat a little with some extra films in the giant monster and blacksploitation categories. Films that are not previous B-Fest selections are marked with an asterisk. *)
Just like one of those old choose-your-own-adventure books, you will be (kind of) in charge of your own fate. Select a film from each category and watch in order for an authentic (roughly) 24-hour bender of bad movies. Junk food, slide whistle, and smart-mouthed friends not included.
