I'm not quite sure what you want. If you're asking where all the "so-bad-it's-good" movies went, most of those died out, or can be found on SciFi at odd times of the night.

If you're just asking where the quality B-films went, no idea.
No, I'm more wondering what caused B movies to slip out of mainstream cinema.
Primarily comedies that are awful to begin with and become bigger jokes as a result.

Exactly man. For me, at least I can look forward to Ah'nold's return from being the governator and hopefully making so kickass b-list movie about... I dunno a stolen identity?
Total Recall did that, sort of. The one about Mars, mutants, and amnesia.

You'll still have the odd one pop up now and then: it's just that the repeated evils of the _____ Movie franchise have killed most of the demand for low-budget comedy. People are also fed up with immature jokes. Cheese we can handle, but I've had enough sexual innuendo to last me a lifetime.

Oh...another good source for B-movies is your local video store. Just look for the new releases you've never heard of. There's always a gem or two that go straight to video.

Too true. You will not believe some of the gems hiding in the video store's VHS sections too. My buddy found a great terrible film called Vampire Cop. Absolute shit. It. Was. Awesome.
Horror is a stockpile of movies that take themselves too seriously and end up hilarious.

I take it you are someone who cannot see the humor in a bad movie. I will not have this be cause for insult but I will say that I truly pity those who cannot enjoy a shitty movie.
Plus, sometimes getting the shit kicked out of you is fun if its just you and your friends fighting.

I'm sorry I can't understand what you are saying. Please use proper grammar so that I can understand what it is you're trying to say.

From what I've gathered you said "Why you you let people who don't know how to make good movies make movies?". To that I say: Why does Youtube exist? Nobody on Youtube knows how to make a fucking movie but they do anyway. You know why? Because its fucking entertaining? What do you want, do you want every movie to be the next fucking Requiem for a Dream? I know I don't, it'd make watching movies less entertaining and more of an exercise in depression. Not to say that good movies shouldn't exist, that would be a complete misinterpretation of what I'm saying. Movies should be entertaining though, something many bad movies can provide and something many good movies just aren't.
For the record I haven't seen Requiem for a Dream, don't particularly want to.

It's actually quite simple actually. As time progressed, the quality of film making equipment increased greatly; unfortunately, so did the price. Soon, almost every movie NEEDED high production values just to get it off the ground. Films that used the outdated style of movie making quickly became ignored.

naked guns, you will be missed. Thats how comedies used to parody life, not like this "epic movie, or meet the spartans" garbage. They were prime b-list comedies.
Knowing that I stand in the minority, I like movies like that simply because they really are as bad as everyone says they are; and they don't pretend they aren't. They pretty much go in knowing that their movie is a steaming pile of shit that's going to make millions.

Unfortunately though the concept has gotten stale and we need something better.

A sad truth. Oh well... at least the archives of bad films are extensive.
...and thank you for posting a legitimate response.

Sci-Fi channel... Just... Yeah. Most of the B-Rate meant-to-be-serious-but-really-quite-hilarious movies have been moved to cable television networks, or straight to dvd so you have to dig and scrounge around for them. They're still there. There's just so much mainstream crap being shoved in our faces that they have a hard time popping out of the muck.

Case in point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o awesome.

But sadly, I think the era of movies like Killer Clowns from Outer Space and the like has ended ):

I actually thought this was going to be one of those "Escape the room" type games.
Or something MS Paint Adventures inspired.

You know what? I want to do this.
Please do and I will beta!
OT (since I didn't seem to contribute at all in my last post): You could always try Bollywood for those cringe worthy and unintentionally hilarious movies
Well, you can't really beta, as, what I have in mind isn't really a video game. It's more of a "massively multiplayer" group storytelling activity. A crowd-sourced story, if you will.

I'm drawing up some character designs. I haven't done anything like this before, but if this amounts to anything, I'll likely post it on Andrew Hussie's forum at MS Paint Adventures. If you haven't already, check out Problem Sleuth. Same idea.

Here's the link to Problem Sleuth. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4

Definitely. Sci-Fi (sorry, SyFy) is definitely my #1 source for bad-tacular movies.

Mansquito = awesome.

Well if it were by Tim Schaffer perhaps.
Has anyone played, Don't Shit Your Pants? If you haven't, I suggest that you do. Look it up. It's hilarious.

I'm not entirely sure why I played that game to 100% completion.
