I would say "Night of the creeps" very enjoyable horror movie(and released on dvd for which i am very very greatful)
Also i should mention "Little devils: the birth" Very silly movie about a crazy scientist that creates demonic creatures. The 2 people that are going to try and stop him are a guy (who writes bdsm novels for a living) and his potential love interest (who is a stripper to make a living)

I could list an awful lot, as I love the genre. It's a pity that I can't find more stuff on DVD from the fifties, where that kind of genre originated. I guess my favourite is Slither. It's a horror comedy paying tribute to B-movies, it has great practical effects, manages to be genuinely scary and funny, and of course, it has Nathan Fillion in the male lead. What more could you want?
A few other mentions of stuff that isn't obvious;
Eight legged freaks: A parody of giant bug movies, this is pretty damn fun, and you can tell everyone's having fun with it.
Black sheep: Absurd, but at points, surprisingly disturbing new zealand horror comedy about zombie sheep. People who are bitten turn into weresheep. It's brilliant, one of my all time favourites.
Dead snow: Does it count as a B-movie? Most of the time it's actually played pretty straight, but that's half the fun. They play NAZI FREAKIN' ZOMBIES straight, right up to a gloriously gory climax in which everything goes apeshit.
Creepshow: This is actually a tribute not to b-movies, but to the EC horror comics of the fifites. It's written by George Romero and stephen king, and King actually stars in one of the anthology's stories, and he's probably the most entertaining character of the whole thing. Try it out, I'm severely dis-satified by how few people get my references to it.
I don't really watch B movies. Or if I do I'm not aware of it. But a while ago I saw Rubber for a laugh and I was surprised at how good it actually was. It's pretty deep, but it's very self aware of how silly it all is at the same time. Never seen a film even attempt anything like that before, and it pulled it off really well.
