Alligator - Lewis Teague - USA - (1980)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080354/

Plot by Imdb: "Ramon the alligator is flushed down the toilet as a baby and grows into a gargantuan monster by eating the corpses of laboratory animals who have undergone dubious hormone experiments...Then it runs amok in the sewers killing people."

Now that's what I call a nasty pet ! Although it doesn't look different form hundred (thousands) of other "monstrous carnivorous monsters in the sewers" movies, this one is the original. Written by John Sayles, who also wrote two other classics: "Piranha" and "The Howling", this movie has a strong sense of humor but never goes the easy way in trying to ridicule the genre. Very  interesting and never lame (even in it's cheesiest moment), "Alligator" always delivers. Acting is good, the small gore is good, (specially Robert Forster, perfect in a very classic role as a cynical and desperate cop) the alligator is not to be seen too much (except at the end for a Sunday celebration that everyone will remember), the stupid croc hunter (Henry Silva, really funny) gets his ass kicked (or chewed if you prefer): everything is fine.
The 80's style of the movie helps making this an absolute classic.
A big, heavy, furious classic, with big teeth !

Love God - Frank Grow - USA/Japan - (1997)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125381/

Plot by Imdb: " A man with a very odd reading problem gets released from a mental hospital and is put in a halfway house. However, he has some very strange neighbors.. not to mention a prehistoric worm and an Indian goddess run amok."

This movie recreates the experimental savagery and punk attitude of the b-movie masterpieces of the 80's, with its mix of fun, gore, improbable characters, a fabulously insane script and some latex monsters with tentacles. Yeah. It's that good. I must admit I felt a thing for the psychopath woman that thinks she is Kali, for her wonderful appearance and mystical killing frenzy.
From the premises (a psychiatric hospital relocates some patients to a creepy downtown hotel) to the core of  the story (a prehistoric worn mutate into an ancient god and looks for a soul mate), this is one for the Franck Henenlotter's fan that's spleeping inside you: a monstruous tentacle goes out the toilet and tries to steal jewelery (?!!), a Woman in Blue make-up (Kali) goes on a killing rampage because Shiva asks her so, an germaphobic woman is rubbing her mother to death, our hero is making a giant bubble gum statue while reading and destroying the jokes inside. It all ends up, after the happy ending where our two mentally disturbed heroes kiss each other in the back of a cab, driven by a monster - after the credits - by an ancient gods monstrous orgy.
An ancient gods monstrous orgy.
I'll let you deal with that for a second......
Yes.
Now, you know.
It is an absolute masterpiece of "out-there" cinema and you have to see it once in your life.

PS: of course, it's co-produce with Japan. Who else ?

I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle - Dirk Campbell - UK - (1990)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097550/

Plot by Imdb: "When a motorbike gang kills an occultist, the evil spirit he was summoning inhabits a damaged bike. The bike is then bought and restored, but reveals its true nature when it tries to exact vengeance on the gang, and anyone else who gets in its way" 

If all B-movies were like this English piece of madness, b-movies would have a better reputation. With an improbable title, this improbable story of a blood sucking motorcycle is funny all along and doesn't take itself too seriously. Some sequences are so insane (the exorcism of the bike, the attack in the hospital) or grotesque (the fight in the medieval pub is one great moment in comedy history) that all the amateurish aspects of the production disappear. The ultimate goal of a b-movie is to give a good time to its viewers. "I bought a vampire motorcycle" does exactly that and manage to succeed where so many "xeroxed b-movies" fails. Cheers for the crazy Brits !
