A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

MIGHTIEST MONSTER IN ALL CREATION!

An expedition to the irradiated Infant Island brings civilization in contact with a primitive native culture. When a sensationalist entrepreneur abducts two doll-sized priestesses from there, their ancient deity, known as Mothra, arises in retaliation.

A fun kaiju (giant monster) movie, directed by the late, great Ishirō Honda.

Multiple stills from the movie showing the scientists’/army's response towards the giant moth

I raised my kids on all of the Kaiju movies. I lived in Okinawa when I was young and that's what I got to see. That and superhero shows like Kamen Rider :D

And when my daughter was younger, she replaced Mothra with Mozzarella in the song by the twins
