Surely that's not a B movie.
Mine faves:
The Car, starring James Brolin. A car posessed by the devil runs over most of the population in a country town.
Watch Out We're Mad, starring Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer from "They Call Me Trinity", also Donald Pleasance. A mafia boss destroys their dune buggy, they spend the rest of the movie hounding him for a new one.
X: The Man With X-ray Eyes. Medical scientist invents a serum which gives him X-ray vision. He lives to regret it. "If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out! PLUCK IT OUT!"
Dark Star. John Carpenter's first flick. The crew of a deep space probe spends its time looking for rogue planets to blow up. Worth watching to see the crew try to fix a malfunctioning bomb by teaching it existential philosophy.
Eraserhead. David Lynch's first flick. Not entirely sure how to describe this one!
Invaders From Mars. Young boy witnesses a UFO land behind his house. Anyone who goes to investigate comes back "different".
Earth versus the Flying Saucers. The title says it all!
The Brain from Planet Arous. Scientist gets taken over by an evil disembodied alien brain, tries to take over the planet. Finds opposition from his fiancee, and his dog, who in turn has been taken over by a benign disembodied alien brain. This one has to be seen to be believed...
Plan 9 from Outer Space and
Bride of the Monster, both Ed Wood creations.
