Family Friendly B Movies?!
Question: We have a "B Movie" marathon planned for our little town
theater. We want the movies to be ones that are relatively
clean.
Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman?
The Blob?
The Day The Earth Stood Still?
What "classic" B Movies should we add?
Thanks any and all suggestions...

Family friendly films~not necessarily B~are:
Them!
King Kong (1933)
Son of Kong~This is the official sequel to "King Kong", marking the return of Carl Denham to Skull Island. Baby Kong is very cute and lovable.
Mighty Joe Young (original)
The Haunting (original)
House on Haunted Hill
Forbidden Planet
Fantastic Voyage
Space Children
Robinson Crusoe on Mars~This is a fascinating film, ultimately about the power of friendship.
War of the Worlds~George Pal version
The Time Machine~George Pal version
When Worlds Collide~George Pal version
The Thing from Another World
Beast from 20,000 Fathoms~When I was a little girl, this and "King Kong" were among my favorite movies. I still think this is a remarkable "creature feature".
20 Million Miles to Earth
Jason & the Argonauts~This has been among my top favorite films since I saw it at the drive-in way back when.
The Raven~Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson~~a horror comedy, with very mild scares
Cat People (original)
Curse of the Cat People~excellent for families! Producer Val Lewton wanted to keep the working title: "Amy & Her Friend".
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original)
The Monster That Challenged the World
Monolith Monsters
13 Ghosts (original~not dreadful remake)
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Invaders from Mars (1963)
The Valley of Gwangi~cowboys and dinosaurs~~always a guarantee for fun! This idea was tried first in "Beast of Hollow Mountain".
Donovan's Brain~My sister and I watched this so many times that Mom still teases me about it. I was able to see many of these films repeatedly because they were used as fillers for early TV programming~~film buff heaven!
Creature from the Black Lagoon~There are two sequels that continue the poor creature's story: "Revenge of the Creature" and "The Creature Walks Among Us".
Dinosaurus!~This very odd low-budget film is definitely a cult classic, highlighted by a battle between a T Rex and a steamshovel. "Carnosaur" 1 & 2 did homages to this scene; and Ripley's battle with the Alien queen in "Aliens" certainly had to be making a bow to it, too.
I grew up with these movies and can guarantee that each is considered classic science fiction/fantasy. I still love them!
By the way, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" can't be considered a B movie because it was a major production by the studio. It is a top-quality feature film. But, it IS one of the best science fiction films of all time~released in my birth year, along with "The Thing from Another World" and "When Worlds Collide".
King Kong
Jean Cocteau's "La Belle et la Bete" or Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal"
geee i thought all b movies has nudity to sell them. I dont think there are too many! what about attack of the killer tomatoes. thats not too bad
the original the fly with vincent price.
